Are stress, trauma, or major life changes leaving you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself? I work with adults across Minnesota who are navigating PTSD, grief, identity shifts, and difficult transitions. Whether you’re carrying unresolved trauma or feeling stuck during a season of change, therapy can help you process what happened and move forward with greater clarity and steadiness.
As an Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I integrate creative expression with trauma-informed and humanistic approaches. Art can help access emotions that feel hard to put into words while building regulation and resilience.
You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. In a supportive, structured space, we’ll explore your experiences and strengthen practical tools for healing. If you’re ready to begin, I invite you to reach out.
