I am an LICSW with 15+ years experience providing counseling in the Brainerd Lakes Area. I like to help people who are experiencing Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, Trauma or Traumatic Brain Injury. My primary practice is equine-assisted therapy located in Little Falls, MN and I am certified in Gestalt Equine Psychotherapy. My equine therapy partners include my horses Ghost and Rooster. Currently I provide equine-assisted therapy April through November. I also provide counseling at my Brainerd office two days a week for those interested in more traditional face-to-face therapy.

I do my best work with clients who are experiencing trauma, anxiety or depression. I like to first provide a sense of safety, then help people identify how their brain and body reacts to stress and trauma, and learn techniques to overcome those reactions and to move on to a more calm and comfortable life.

My go-to treatment types are Gestalt (a therapy that includes how you experience the world, the environment around you, your body, and other beings), and insight-oriented therapy (how you perceive yourself and your thoughts). I also practice Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
