I am taking new clients!
Therapy is a safe space to air out all of your hopes, dreams, frustrations, and fears. It's a space to express the hard emotions we feel as humans every day, especially in our current world. It's also a space to learn how to manage these hard emotions so that we can find peace, love, and happiness. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Minnesota who enjoys working with teens, adults, couples, and LGBTQ+ individuals. I have helped clients with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, relational issues, and gender identity.

You might feel stuck in old emotional patterns, overwhelmed by anxiety, or unsure how to navigate your relationships. Maybe you’re carrying the weight of past trauma or sensing that something in your life feels off. You want more than just relief, you’re ready to embrace yourself fully, in all your different versions, and open to viewing yourself with compassion. You’re seeking clarity, connection, and a way forward that feels more like you.

Your go-to answer when people ask you how you're doing is 'tired'. Or maybe you say you're 'fine' when deep down you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and can't get a damn thing done! Everything has gotten a lot harder and you're not sure why. You can't keep it together the way you used to, and all the calendars, to do lists, apps, reminders, and alarms do absolutely nothing to help. Everyone on Tik Tok and Instagram is talking about ADHD, could it be?
Nah, you're just anxious, right? You're not hyper, and you can focus really, REALLY well...when you're interested. You wonder, "WTF is wrong with me?"

I hold an M.D. from the University of Minnesota, and my career has spanned roles as a medical researcher, writer, integrative provider, and now an integrative health and wellness coach. My professional path—and my own personal journey through the healthcare system—have deepened my conviction that health and wellness coaching is the missing link in today’s approach to care. I’ve experienced firsthand the power of looking at health holistically and have seen how combining integrative coaching with lifestyle medicine and behavior change can help people find the physical and emotional wellbeing they long for.
