I encompass empathy, a spirit of collaboration and empowerment, and I have a skill set rooted in various therapeutic models and theory.

I help middle-age couples who are stuck in the same fight over and over again break their cycle. People who see me long for their best friend to come back and want to reconnect with their partner.

Ever increasing levels of stress and anxiety are commonplace in modern life. We have become so accustomed to living in this chronic state of hyper arousal that we now consider it to be a "normal" baseline of daily functioning. Unfortunately, for many this state of increased anxiety can begin to feel debilitating, demoralizing, and inescapable. It's hard to describe the feelings of hopelessness and isolation that those who suffer from severe anxiety face. It can wreak havoc on our most important relationships, limit our ability to grow, to be authentic, playful and creative, flexible, empathic and patient with ourselves and others.

I am a licensed psychologist in Minnesota, Kansas and Missouri, with over 20 years experience as a therapist. My approach to therapy is existential/humanistic with the relationship between the client and myself being of the highest importance. I believe that each client brings a unique set of strengths and difficulties, so therapy is tailored to the individual needs of each client. I have experience in treating a wide variety of problems especially mood, anxiety, impulse control and trauma. My therapy style is supportive yet challenging and direct as needed.

I enjoy working with children, adults, individuals, couples and families. I assist in helping others to explore deeper motivations and recognize their own special gifts and talents.

Things that have happened to us don't always feel like they're "over" ; past events may feel like they still impact or even control our lives. You feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, scared to do the things you want to do, stuck, or frustrated with your relationships. You're not living the kind of life you want to live, and you don't feel like your best self. Maybe you had some significant trauma in your life, or experienced abuse, or weren't nurtured by your family in the way you needed, or feel rejected by your family or your faith community. Or maybe you're grieving the loss of a dream, a person, or a relationship.

Do you ever feel anxious or overwhelmed? Are you struggling with sadness, emptiness, low self-esteem or depression? Is your significant relationship, marriage or family hurting and in need of help? Are you struggling on the job or in your social life? Have you experienced past trauma that still affects you today? Do you engage in behaviors that are confusing and troubling? Are you facing a difficult life transition? You do not need to walk this path alone. We can help.

I work with an amazing team at ALL IN Therapy that approaches treatment from a holistic mindset. Working nine-to-five doesn't mean there isn't time to prioritize your mental health. I'm a "night-owl therapist" and am available from 11 AM through 9 PM on weekdays. I want to ensure that therapy can integrate seamlessly into your life without disrupting it, whether you work daytime hours, are a student, or just feel more comfortable talking with someone after a long day rather than during it. We'll work together to find ways to manage your concerns so you can find more stability, passion, meaning, and peace in your life.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with 20 years of experience working with adults throughout the lifespan.
