I have been working as a therapist with children, teens, adults, couples and families since I received a Masters of Clinical Social Work from University of Saint Thomas/Saint Catherine University in 2017. I enjoy working with individuals ages 12 through adult. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship with my clients, as well as their life experiences, to meet clients where they are at and encourage growth and movement through their journey.

The struggle is real! As a licensed professional clinical counselor, I work with children/teens and adults individually, and strive to provide my clients a safe, open space where they can feel at ease to begin the therapeutic process. I aim to meet all my clients where they are at & provide unconditional positive regard for each unique experience that is brought to the table. Seeking out help is a sign of strength, & I work with my clients to develop healthy strategies to manage the challenges they are faced with. With training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, I help my clients regain their sense of power over their lives.

I have special interest in working with issues of terminal illness, grief loss and transition with children individuals and families.

I incorporate trauma informed care into my work. I believe healing is possible and I am here to walk the path with my clients to a place of growth and positive change.

Envision the day you believe “I am enough”. We have so many roles to fulfill—partner, parent, employee, friend—and remember—self care. Experience working in large systems has provided me a unique perspective and understanding of the challenges facing individuals and families today. I have background providing crisis services, suicide assessments and follow up support. Listening, being witness to the grief, stress and trauma of life, stepping alongside individuals to assist them to see options and make choices using their strengths and beliefs is the base of my practice.

Current openings for telehealth. I have 15 years experience working with adults, adolescents, and families in multiple therapeutic environments using a strength-based approach.

I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Adler University in Chicago. During my educational journey, I had the privilege of completing my pre-doctoral internship at Hazelden Betty Ford’s Center for Teens, Young Adults, and Families. In this esteemed institution, I had the unique opportunity to work closely with adolescents and young adults who were grappling with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. My professional path has encompassed a diverse range of settings, including a community mental center, a research hospital, and private practice, where I specialized in neuropsychological assessments.

Seeking support can be a nerve-wracking experience, but with the right provider it doesn’t have to be. I am a doctoral-level psychologist dedicated to providing compassionate, person-centered care to people of all ages. I have over 15 years of experience using a variety of therapeutic styles to meet the individual needs of each client, couple, or family I treat. While I utilize evidence-based treatments including EMDR, CBT, IFS, and DBT therapies, I strongly believe that treatment must be tailored to each client’s needs. I also believe that a strong, supportive therapeutic relationship with one’s provider is the key to success.

You want to be seen. Annoyed, sad, and worried. You wonder if you’ll ever be enough. Do better, try harder, don’t give up. The pressure of always trying to be your best is stressful. You’re only human; sometimes you can’t keep up. You feel like you’ve failed. It wasn’t enough….You weren’t enough. Critical thoughts preoccupy your day. Small mistakes feel big, rejection feels inevitable, and the struggle to be enough overwhelms you. All you want is to be seen and accepted by others. You wonder if you are the only one. Logic tells you no, but it doesn't feel true.

I currently work with individuals, partners, and families. My area of passion and expertise is gender and sexuality. I also view therapy and self-care as an act of resistance and believe it can help individuals with marginalized identities cope with minority stress and systemic oppression. I am currently seeing clients in office and virtually if you live in MN. I work with almost all mental health diagnoses including anxiety, depression, panic disorders, PTSD/CPTSD, bipolar, personality disorders, DID, and schizophrenia/delusional disorders. I also have specialized experience in substance use and eating disorders.
