(Update 1/11/22- I'm not accepting new clients at this time.) I treat clients for depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, work stressors, women's issues , prenatal and postnatal depression/anxiety. I have worked with adoptees who are exploring their identity and sense of belonging. I see clients with complex trauma and dissociation. I validate those who experienced racism, sexism, microaggressions and recognize how that has impacted their lives. Goal is help clients live with dignity and in alignment with their values.

For over a decade, I have helped individuals, parents and children of all ages work through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, behavior challenges, and attachment issues. I easily connect with clients because of my caring, approachable, and authentic demeanor.

As therapist, I hope to help families explore and grow to cope with life’s struggles. I strive to create a partnership with children, families, and couples to find a healing experience. I believe the counseling environment is a place to meet a client where they’re at to listen to their personal story and experiences. The first brush strokes may be rough. But, as one creates, meaning can be discovered through color, the tools used and the content. I hope to make the space to discuss and process the experience and struggles. Counseling is the opportunity to build, connect, and find meaning.

I have experience working with a culturally diverse population of individuals. My clients range from age 6 to age 65. Most of my experience is working with children, teens, young adults, adults, and families. I believe the greatest success is to accompany the client on their journey and to be the guide to navigate through the challenges of life. I regard the client to be the expert in their lives and it is important for them to discuss their goals and their expectations. My clients who experience the greatest success are motivated and ready to work, open-minded, flexible, introspective, honest, and trusting.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) trained in psychotherapy & focus on the interlocking relationships between families & individuals. My focus is assisting individuals & couples in exploring & finding a sense of well-being, movement, & self-identity through the Adlerian, Internal Family Systems, & Experiential Therapy approaches.

I work with adult survivors of childhood trauma who are noticing or are curious to explore the ways in which their trauma are impacting their experiences in the present day. I find that many of the things we struggle with can be related to traumas, difficulties, or other experiences in childhood that were less than ideal. I help my clients recognize the ways in which they are feeling "stuck" or are unhappy with how their life circumstances are. From there, I help my clients determine how they want to live their life and we collaboratively figure out what it takes to get there.

"What lies behind us, and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us (Ralph Waldo Emerson)." This quote has always been one of the guiding forces in my therapeutic practice. I believe we are all capable of becoming the best version of ourselves, which includes living a life that is healthy, happy, and fulfilling!

My work at Innovative Psychological Consultants has taught me that life is full of twists and turns. Sometimes no amount of training can prepare you for what comes. When you find yourself overwhelmed and confused, it can be useful to talk things through with a neutral person who can help organize your thoughts, explore your feelings, and work collaboratively to create solutions and next steps.

Throughout life, people face various obstacles. These obstacles may feel overwhelming and sometimes, insurmountable. Working with a therapist who is a good fit is a magnificent strength to help during these times. I work to create a safe environment to foster development of healthy communication skills and emphasize how to utilize support systems and healthy coping skills. I have experience working with adolescents in a school setting, in day treatment, in group therapy, and in an outpatient individual treatment setting. I have also worked with adults in a day treatment setting in addition to outpatient therapy.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families, children and adolescents. I have extensive experience working with children and families that have been affected by trauma, domestic violence and immigration issues. I consider myself bicultural and bilingual as I have had several years of experience working with the Latino community in various capacities in Minnesota and in other Latin American countries. In therapy I utilize holistic and strengths-based approach to therapy,

As a therapist, my goal is to allow you to be who you are right now, using a lot of empathy (and well-meaning humor) as well as structure and direction, when necessary. My approach is one of curiosity about you and your ideal self and future. I am typically pretty direct in my approach, which people tend to really appreciate and enjoy! Working together, we will identify and collaborate on goals and how to move you towards them. I would be honored to assist you on your health and wellness journey.

I seek to help people find hope and light in dark times. I love working within youth, young adults, and families to help mend concerns and disconnects within important relationships because relationships are a foundation of life. In addition to relationships I love working one-on-one to help clients find new ways to heal and cope with whatever their life situations may be: mental illness, life changes, grief, loss, transitions, and any other obstacle that is ever present in life today. Each person has their own story and I am humbled to help clients navigate theirs.

Having lived in West Africa 13 years, I worked primarily oral traditions and stories. Naturally I was drawn to Narrative Therapy which looks at your story in a unique way. Do you long for connection? You will find that I am Hope Based, Person Centered and I am described as non-judgemental, and compassionate. I provide a place of safety for you to find hope that life has been, can be and is better than you believed. Personality Disordered clients appreciate the acceptance and the gentle challenges with support. Caregiving Professional Providers say that I help with resiliency and compassion fatigue.

I work with couples, families, and individuals to find their strength, helping to guide them towards healing and a better tomorrow. My work with couples and families is designed to strengthen their relationships.

My passion is to help others grow relationships and become stronger individuals.
