Individuals find their way to therapy for many reasons. Perhaps you are suffering the stress of a relationship breakup, loss of a job, death of a loved one or parenting pressures. Or, maybe you've decided it's time to address a long-standing issue that is interfering with life satisfaction. It could be as specific as an unresolved childhood trauma or as general as nagging doubts about your self-worth or a feeling that you're not living your life in ways consistent with your core beliefs.

A mirror allows us to see ourselves; however, sometimes that mirror becomes distorted through chronic stress or repeated life experiences that overwhelm our ability to cope. Over time, this can shape how we see ourselves, how we handle stress, and how we show up in relationships. I believe therapy can help create a clearer, more accurate reflection—one that supports real, sustainable change and a healthier, more balanced life.

I use a culturally adaptive, evidence-based style that develops based on the strengths of the individual, the context for their struggles and their level of readiness for change. I feel adaptivity is an undervalued skill for therapists, because people are different in so many ways. I am known to be a therapist that helps patients develop tangible goals and build real skills. I believe it is critical for a therapist to help a patient develop techniques that help foster noticeable positive changes in their day to day life.

I am in-network with Blue Cross, Health Partners, Cigna, UCare, Optum plans, and First Health.
Welcome! I focus on treating anxiety-related concerns including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and OCD. I’m especially passionate about supporting young adults’ and college students’ mental health.
“Sticky”, ruminative thoughts— the kind that feel like gum stuck on the bottom of your shoe—do not respond to traditional approaches that aim to prove your anxious thoughts wrong. Instead, we will work on flexibility around these sticky thoughts, and build self-compassion. I do not consider thoughts as “good” or “bad”, but rather as “helpful” or “unhelpful.” You can expect a warm, compassionate approach to therapy with me.

As a therapist, I believe that authenticity and the therapeutic relationship are invaluable. I believe that therapy will not work if there is not a strong therapeutic alliance. I tend to be a laid back, compassionate clinician who values humor in session, but I am also not afraid to challenge you and be direct. I believe each individual is unique, therefore I do not believe there is one set way to do therapy. I value meeting individuals where they are at and learning about their strengths to help them in session. I work with adults ages 18+.
