Licensed in MN, WI and OR. Hey there, let’s talk about therapy. It’s all about relationships; it’s problems with relationships that bring people into therapy.

But here's the truth: confronting our pain, guided with compassion, can lead us to a life grounded in authenticity and purpose.

I currently have a waitlist for new clients. Whether you're new to therapy or a pro at it, diving into it can be a bit much.

My areas of expertise include various psychological challenges, including Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Aging, and Life Transitions.

I work with clients who live with intense emotions. Deep depression, constant anxiety, intense anger, and other clients—who want to avoid feeling all together. Emotions often drive my client's choices—how they choose to behave or speak (or bow out of engaging/speaking) depends on how they are feeling. This tends to create chaos and damage relationships. My clients become aware of their thoughts and emotions without being ruled by them. My style is warm, highly curious, non-judgmental, and collaborative. It is important to me that you feel comfortable, with me, and in my space.
