Have you had a recent change in your life and want a safe person to talk with to better understand yourself? Perhaps your feelings have felt more intense: anxiety, depression, confusion, or desire to find purpose to your life. You look around - seeking answers, understanding, & deeper healing. Maybe a life situation unfolded and you were suddenly on a path you never imagined (job loss, divorce, etc) or one you wanted to be on but it’s more stressful or different than what you thought (attending college or a new job). If this is you, I can support you. I approach all my clients with the understanding that we are capable of change.

With more than a decade of experience in hospitals, clinics, and private practice, I am guided by the belief that there is more that’s right with people, than is wrong with people. There is much about the way we live that contributes to the feeling of disconnection and destabilization that so many of us feel. And yet, few of us were ever taught the skills to navigate the seemingly simple (but actually pretty complex) worlds that we live in.

I work with children of all ages and am in the process of becoming a Registered Play Therapist. I'm certified in AutPlay. I care deeply about individualizing therapy for each unique child, based on their neurological needs. I enjoy working with parents and families as well, to help strengthen and repair relationships.
I also work with teens and adults within the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities who are looking to get to know themselves and their relationships better. I also work with a lot of nerdy gamers and crafters- much like myself!

I believe that everyone deserves to feel supported through challenges in one's life and should have a collaborative say in how that support looks through communication and fostering connections. I look forward to working with individuals to learn how to best support them and explore new ways to serve them and the community. Support and goals look different based on the individual, and I hope to foster motivation and encouragement for those to work towards their goals and make life more manageable and support their values and ideas on what is important to them in their experience.

I have the awesome privilege of getting to work with teens, families, adults and therapists all day long. I often meet teens who are uncomfortable with the idea of going to therapy. If your teen works with me, I will work closely with them to ensure that therapy with me isn't uncomfortable. I read teens well & will work hard to help your teen have a positive therapy experience. Teens are accepted in my practice for who they are in the world & they have told me that this acceptance is helpful to them during a time of intense growth & change.

As a biracial woman born and raised in St. Paul, MN, I bring a deep commitment to authenticity, vulnerability, and cultural humility to my work as a therapist-in-training. I am currently getting a dual master's degree in Social Work and Holistic Health. My passion for social work is rooted in a long legacy of strong women in the healing professions and a lifelong calling to hold space for others. Therapy has profoundly shaped my own life, teaching me how to live more fully, let go of attachment, and practice compassion for myself and others. I believe in the power of curiosity, and listening deeply to the stories that shape us.

I support children experiencing anxiety, behavioral challenges, trauma, attachment disruptions, and school-related difficulties.

Have you been struggling with depression, anxiety or PTSD? Do you find it hard to heal with so many things going on in the world? Maybe you're not even sure what you need, but you know you haven't been feeling yourself lately. You're not alone. It's hard to focus on your own needs with so much going on around you. I believe that healing from trauma is more than just a therapy modality. It takes time and it's scary. I want you to walk into my office, feel safe and learn culturally specific rooted coping skills. I want you to learn to love yourself, accept your body, and learn to nurture your needs in order to fully bloom.

As a therapist I see how powerful the mind-body connection can be, not only in how we live our lives, but also how we respond to challenges and interact with others. We are not always able to choose the obstacles in life but I do believe we can work towards responding to them in ways that help us feel empowered and confident. By listening to and understanding our thoughts, feelings and physical sensations we are more effectively able to navigate life and choose paths that better suit our values.

Hi, I'm a clinical psychologist and have spent the last 23 years providing DBT in the Twin Cities community; first during my doctoral internship, then for 15 years at the University of Minnesota Psychiatry Department, and now in my private practice. I have been trained in multiple variations of DBT by recognized experts in DBT. I specialize in working with individuals who have a history of trauma and offer prolonged exposure as a treatment for PTSD. My training and experience has prepared me for helping individuals with a history of and/or actively struggling with suicidal thoughts and ideation.
