We are all on a journey of some sort, whether it is one of healing, new beginnings, pleasure, or life transition. Sometimes we encounter storms and obstacles that shake us and may make us feel as if we are lost or maybe incapable of overcoming the storm. These storms may be recognized as anxiety, depression, loss of a loved one, job or home. Creating therapeutic trust and emotional safety are two of my greatest strengths in my practice. We will work with you to create an environment in which you can discover your own truth and authentic self, and increase your capacity to make healthy life choices and find fulfilling relationships.

Have you been struggling with anxiety or depression from unresolved incidents that have happened in your life? I believe that the way to healing is through connection; to yourself, others, nature, and a higher power (if this is important to you), and building skills to deepen these connections. If you would like to feel more at peace within yourself, and be an active participant in your healing journey, I can help you find the peace that you are longing to have and your ability to move your dreams forward.

Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Patterns that fuel anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional exhaustion? You may be carrying the weight of depression, past trauma, or stress that’s become too heavy to manage alone. Maybe you’ve been trying to keep everything together while wondering if real change is even possible.
I provide a compassionate, affirming space where you can explore what’s holding you back and begin reconnecting with your inner strength. My approach is grounded in warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for your lived experience.

Through my 20 years of being a foster/adopt parent, I have experienced how trauma, attachment, anxiety, learning disorders, Autism, ADHD, and mood disorders, affect daily functioning and the ability to enjoy life. I have come to appreciate how important it is to feel a sense of safety and belonging. We are biologically wired to need connections/relationships for optimal growth and development. However, negative life experiences, the inability to self-regulate our emotions, or other mental health concerns, can negatively affect the way we interact with others, causing difficulties in building those positive relationships we need.

I am licensed to practice in Arizona, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Do you suffer from lack of sleep, worry, anxiety, sadness, recurring thoughts, nightmares or negative thoughts? Are you a front line worker, firefighter, police officer or teacher? Trauma and stress is hard to manage and even harder to talk about. Your load is heavy, and you are required to be resilient; but everyone deserves to feel relief and to become unstuck, even you.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
