Being human is complicated, and sometimes life lands us in a season we definitely didn't feel prepared for. I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, relationships, and major transitions. I'm especially drawn to the moments that shake up how we see ourselves: becoming a parent, getting a diagnosis that suddenly explains a lot, losing someone, questioning long-held beliefs, or realizing the old ways of getting through life aren't working anymore. We can start wherever you are.
I'm trained in Perinatal Mental Health and love supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood, including those discovering ADHD in adulthood. I also welcome clients untangling rigid or harmful religious beliefs while honoring wherever they are in their faith journey. We'll notice patterns, make connections, and find what fits.
You don't need the right words or a polished version of yourself. Bring the messy parts. Cry. Laugh. Swear. Grab a snack. Fidget. Doodle. Fold laundry while we talk. Therapy isn't a performance. Come as you are. I'll bring warmth, humor, a lot of curiosity, and the occasional reminder to have a little more grace for yourself. Let's figure it out together.

I accept most Minnesota insurance plans, as well as private pay. Insurance can be confusing (because apparently life needed more paperwork), so please reach out with questions about coverage or cost. We'll help you sort through the details!

I work with anxiety, depression, perinatal mental health, and the transitions that can leave you wondering, "Wait, who am I now?" We'll make sense of what you're feeling, notice patterns, and find ways forward that actually fit your life. The goal isn't a perfectly put-together version of you. It's feeling more grounded, understood, and able to meet yourself with a little more grace.

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. We'll get curious about what's happening now, notice patterns and where they may have come from, and figure out what actually works for you. Sometimes we'll dig deep, sometimes we'll build practical tools, and sometimes we just need to sit with the hard stuff. Expect compassion, curiosity, humor, and plenty of room to be human.
