If you’re feeling worn down by work stress, stuck in perfectionism, or navigating complicated family dynamics, you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Are you seeking a new life PATH? Something CALLING, but you're uncertain where to start? Perhaps you’ve gotten started but find yourself stuck, overwhelmed or disenchanted by the whole process; feeling perched on the edge of CHANGE, uncertain what comes next. Commonly experienced as anxiety or depression (and everything in between), these feelings of DEEP yearning for TRUE connection can be heavy as a ’dark night of the soul,’ or simply part of the unique path YOU are navigating in this world.
Moving through these spaces is my specialty and my JOY. If you're highly sensitive, weird, wonderful or woo, you FOUND the right place.

As a psychologist, I work collaboratively with individuals ages 18+ to help them explore what has led to current life difficulties and to work toward the changes they desire. I am a generalist in that I work with many different presenting issues from relationship difficulties to anxiety and depression. However, I have developed particular interest in working with trauma, adult survivors of childhood abuse, cancer issues, spiritual concerns, and with people with intuitive and empathic gifts. I take an integrative approach to my work drawing on interpersonal, psychodynamic, IFS and mindfulness -based cognitive therapy models.

We all have a need to feel seen and understood. Different experiences sometimes leave us feeling misunderstood by ourselves and others. During our work together we will identify these misunderstandings and work towards alleviating the pain and suffering they have caused. I am consistently inspired by the strength and vulnerability of those seeking change. I have deep respect for how difficult and gruesome the process can be and consider it an honor to walk alongside an individuals' path towards healing.

Many neurodivergent adolescents feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or exhausted by expectations that don’t fit how their brains and bodies work. Teens with ADHD or autism may struggle with emotional regulation, sensory overload, communication, school demands, or social pressure—often leading to frustration, shutdown, or conflict at home and school.

Offer mobile, St Paul office, or a location you pick!
