Immediate availability. You've carried the weight of your struggles alone for far too long. The mere thought of reaching out for help, expressing your needs, and acknowledging your worth as a person feels like an insurmountable hurdle! Anxiety and depression seem to have a firm grip, distorting your perspective. Navigating through emotions has become a labyrinth, and anger simmers beneath the surface. The pressures of life have left you seeking effective stress management strategies. Self-esteem feels elusive, and issues related to masculinity and femininity weigh heavily on your shoulders. Perfectionism has crushed self-acceptance.

I am a dynamic clinician who specializes in personal growth and transformational therapy leading to a generative life . I draw from various approaches, including positive psychology, humanistic psychology, spiritual psychology, mindfulness-based research practices, psychodynamics, CBT, and attachment theories. My focus is on coaching clients shift their mindset to align with their priorities, dreams, goals, and living a purposeful life. I have a strong foundation and commitment to social justice and decolonizing practices. I collaborate with clients to make the best of their circumstances and facilitate transformation and growth.

I am honored to offer space to process and reflect and help clients connect to themselves and others in a deeper way. I believe we each have our own inner widsom and therapy is a place to discover that wisdom. Clients describe me as down to earth, creative, compassionate, funny, direct, warm and intuitive. I specialize in grief and loss, education, healthcare and mental health professionals, secondary and primary trauma and clients who have connection with adoption or foster care. I work from strength based and trauma informed models and draw from IFS, Attachment, Narrative and Somatic/Experiential/Sandtray modalities.

If you're looking for a place to deepen your healing while feeling heard, seen, and empowered, you're in the right place. Hello! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and have been providing therapy since 2015. I am also a Minnesota Board Approved Clinical Supervisor, intuitive therapeutic coach, and a matrescence educator. I currently specialize in maternal mental health, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders for the birthing person and partner, attachment and childhood trauma, intuitive alignment and reconnection to oneself, hormone cycles, sex and sexuality, ancestral patterns, trauma + many more areas.

As a couples therapist, I believe we all long for connection. It is primal and in our DNA. However, in order to feel a connection, we need to feel a sense of safety first. I am passionate about working with couples who are experiencing a lack of connection and are seeking help with hopes of increasing the effectiveness of their communication, boundaries, and connection. Another passion of mine is helping couples navigate family conflicts. Family conflicts are not easy and they tend to disrupt the whole family system. I am currently accepting new clients for couples or family therapy. I offer sliding scale fees for couples as well.

I truly believe that all human beings have the ability to be mentally well; however, I recognize there are life experiences that can affect the human spirit deeply, guiding you to believe you are damaged, unlovable, or mentally unwell. It is my passion to guide people back to seeing themselves and life through a more positive lens where hope can be awakened and where peace, security, contentment, and joy can be found. I believe all people are affected by life's hardships differently, however we all have one thing in common: the ability to be well.

My intention is to provide a safe, supportive environment within the therapeutic relationship. My philosophy is strengths-based and holistic: I believe people have the capacity for resilience, creativity and resourcefulness. My role is to help my clients get to that place of knowing this for themselves so they can move forward in their lives and thrive. I am trained in mindfulness-based-stress reduction, and I am a Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach who has worked with a wide range of people on stress release, weight, exercise and nutrition. I am also a Licensed Clinical Independent Social Worker.

Have you had a recent change in your life and want a safe person to talk with to better understand yourself? Perhaps your feelings have felt more intense: anxiety, depression, confusion, or desire to find purpose to your life. You look around - seeking answers, understanding, & deeper healing. Maybe a life situation unfolded and you were suddenly on a path you never imagined (job loss, divorce, etc) or one you wanted to be on but it’s more stressful or different than what you thought (attending college or a new job). If this is you, I can support you. I approach all my clients with the understanding that we are capable of change.
