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.

I work with adult individuals with a variety of issues, however, I specialize in treating the effects of childhood neglect and/or abuse. The impact of trauma is often profound. Pervasive and complex effects can disrupt your sense of self, your life narrative, and your ability to engage with others and the world.

Work with adolescents and their families is where my passion lies. I understand and believe that the system a person is operating in can impact all parts of one's life experience. I believe it is important in therapy to meet you where you are at and explore where you want to go. Creating a path to becoming your most authentic self is one of the most rewarding and challenging acts you can do. I am honored to be a part of your process.

I use a laidback, curious, and collaborative approach to assist people in their journey towards healing. I love laughing and make my best attempt at using humor to lighten the load of some of the heavy topics you might be bringing to our work together. I truly value the real, authentic selves we get to show up as in the therapy room (or zoom screen).

The foundation of my work is to build a trusting and responsive relationships. In therapy work, I help people process the thoughts, behaviors, and emotions they are experiencing. We can look at how automatic thoughts impact the way people see themselves and the world around them. We can also look at strategies to change thoughts and behaviors, which can then impact emotional experiences. I incorporate mindfulness, positive psychology, and dialectical behavioral therapy approaches to customize treatment. I work with people to identify their goals and priorities, and I offer support to enact change that is meaningful and fulfilling.

Have you had repeated difficulties in relationships that leave you feeling as if you are forever stuck? Do you find yourself wanting to make changes but being unable to make these changes happen? Are you feeling confused or uncertain about yourself or the future and need someone to talk to? These are all excellent reasons to seek therapy. I work specifically with people who struggle in relationships, have histories of trauma or have issues with self-worth, anxiety or depression.

I enjoy helping people better understand themselves as they move toward change and solve their problems. I do this using therapeutic techniques that are evidenced-based which means these methods have consistently been shown effective through research. I balance kindness with a focus on getting you to where you want to be. My practice includes in-person services in Minnesota, along with the ability to conduct televideo sessions in 30 additional states.

Finding a therapist with whom you feel safe and comfortable is essential for a successful outcome. Clients have told me that I am easy to connect with and tend to put people at ease quickly. Creating a warm, respectful and non-judgmental atmosphere is my first priority. I also feel that laughter/humor can be very therapeutic when appropriate!

Having worked with people from various cultures and all walks of life, I have come to realize one commonality which is the fact that we all experience challenges. These challenges show up at work, with family, and even just within ourselves and it can be hard to face them. In collaborating with others to address mental health, chemical dependency struggles and even relational difficulties, I have met and sat with many clients in need of coping tools.

My approach aligns with the belief that folks are much more than their symptoms and that each individual has inherent dignity and worth. I provide a customized unique approach with each person to best help them reach their goals. I work with teens and adults who are struggling to find purpose, are working through a difficult transition, and those who feel like their emotions are controlling them. I have a published literature review on body positivity and the influence on self-image; I utilize self-compassion and somatic techniques to increase empathetic and validating inner self talk.

Usually, the thing that brings us to therapy has us feeling stuck. We might feel paralyzed with indecision as parts of our internal selves compete with one another for attention. We might experience recurring conflict with people we care about. We might feel that our identity - our internal self-knowing - is somehow being prevented from fully expressing itself because of messages we receive from family or society. Most often, the reason we seek therapy is some combination of the above, and as a result of our “stuckness” we may feel sadness, despair, anxiety, anger, or an unnerving lack of feeling altogether.

Someone who would best fit my practice is someone who is motivated to create change in their life, even if they aren't sure how to do that yet. Someone who is seeking help with improving their mental health, working toward a personal or professional goal, coping with stressors of daily life, and/or wanting a space to be seen and heard would do well in my practice.

I offer my clients a compassionate, creative, and collaborative approach in their healing work. I use psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and integrative therapies encouraging my clients to find meaning in their life's journey and struggles as well as find new ways to care for the self. Although I am a generalist when it comes to working with a variety of diverse clients and issues, I also believe strongly in the mind/body connection and help my clients find ways to reconnect and find balance in their lives. This is especially helpful when dealing with grief, relationship issues, life transitions, or trauma.

After experiencing a devastating series of personal, relational, occupational, family, social and spiritual obstacles in my life, my self-talk was often times self-defeating. I was discontent, lacking purposeful meaningful contact with others and felt empty inside. Instead of accepting my reality and the changing interaction between the environment, others and myself - I was caught between staying the same or recognizing and embracing change. Whether you are in a time of transition or a time of pain, I believe that we all have the tools we need to walk toward a loving and meaningful life.
