I am a strengths based, trauma informed therapist who believes in building an authentic and trusting therapeutic relationship. I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel their story matters. I recognize that therapy is a collaborative process and each individual has a unique set of needs and goals. I am authentic in session and welcome all the feels and cuss words!

I believe that our struggles do not define us, but our ability to overcome them does. At Omni Mental Health, our clinicians enjoy helping others find their inner strength to make lasting changes that bring them closer to the life they yearn for. We have a lot of compassion for others and try to make therapy a safe place to work through fears, self-doubt, hopelessness and anger, so that our clients can develop the skills and confidence they need.

I enjoy working with individuals across the lifespan, families, and couples and believe in empowering clients to access their own strengths and perspectives to overcome life's challenges. I aspire to create a warm and non-judgmental environment for clients to create peace and healing.

Whatever experiences life has brought our way, we continue towards wholeness and healing. Our inner drive is towards wholeness. Within a trusting therapeutic relationship we can nurture the part of us that allows us to heal, make better decisions and achieve the goals we desire. I really believe in the power that we all have to heal, make sense of our lives, and move towards the kind of life we would like.

My goals as a therapist include helping you to achieve relief from emotional distress, develop optimal ways of coping, and gain insight about the issues you are facing. I work closely with clients to create positive solutions to emotional health and healing, and to make sense of thoughts, feelings and actions with the greater goal of building inner strength and peace. Therapy can help you unravel the source of your distress, make decisions about your present situation that lead you to feeling better, and provide a context to understand yourself and your reactions on a deeper level.

The therapy process is personal in nature, therefore, I believe that it is very important for anyone who is seeking therapy find the right therapist for them. In my practice I rely on several theoretical approaches such as: interpersonal psychology, psychodynamics, cognitive-behavioral, and family systems. My eclectic approach develops a comprehensive and personal approach built on my premise: how we feel, think, and act is because of genetics, upbringing, and life experiences.

My clients can change anxiety, ADHD, autism, or pain with live heart and brain feedback called biofeedback or neurofeedback in online visits. Clients control music volume on their phones with their calm attention levels with free biofeedback equipment I provide. It is easy mindfulness therapy for kids and adults. It is proven to work as well as medication for anxiety, ADHD, and pain. I have years of experience as a therapist, and have taught clinicians at The University of MN Medical Center and elsewhere. Counseling with biofeedback is covered by insurance, and supported by The Minnesota Dept. of Health and Human Services.

Do you feel stuck and unsure how to move forward? We all have the ability to change our situations or the way we handle them, we just need a little hope. I love coming alongside people who are struggling and helping them to see the light at the end of the tunnel. From coloring and play therapy to exploring the past, challenging beliefs, or sitting with you in your pain--I have a passion for hurting people. I'd love to walk with you through shame and conflict in your life and help you find meaning and hope.

I believe people carry within them the ability to heal. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and facilitate changes that enhance their lives. I provide individual therapy to adults seeking help with anxiety, blended family, career, codependency, depression, family of origin, grief/loss, health, life transitions, postpartum depression, relationships, self-esteem, spirituality, stress and women's issues.

I believe each individual person is unique and therefore the therapy approach should be tailored to that individuality.
