I've worked with a myriad of clients and patients over the 28-year course of my social work career. I went back to grad school in 2015 to pursue my MSW and completed that in 2018 and my journey to become a therapist continues. I love working in a small private practice setting and the environment has nurtured my creativity and curiosity as a therapist which has allowed me to bring my own flare to the scope of my practice. I have an affinity for BIPOC communities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma throughout their lifetime. I'm poly-and-other-relationship-types friendly.

I'm a Licensed Graduate Social Worker who brings a blend of warmth and directness into the therapy space. My approach is grounded in a deep respect for the complexity of being human. I value creating a space where all parts of someone—messy, vulnerable, and everything in between—are welcome and worthy of care.
I work with children (ages 6+) and individuals across the lifespan, supporting clients through trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My work draws from somatic-based practices and integrates polyvagal theory, nervous system regulation, play therapy techniques, and mindfulness.

I'm an Indigenous (Sugpiat and Anishinaabe), nonbinary, queer, currently non-disabled, covid conscious, justice-oriented provider. I believe therapy is not meant to "fix" or "solve," rather a place to be curious, explore, learn/unlearn patterns, and invite flow, grace and compassion. I primarily use a present-centered, relational, somatic-based approach, as well as center collaboration and consent, and acknowledge various ways intersecting oppressive societal structures shape us.

When unbalanced, these patterns can contribute to anxiety, sadness, isolation, and dissatisfaction. I work collaboratively with clients to explore behaviors, values, and self-understanding while navigating the internal and external pressures of our modern, technology-driven world, with compassion and curiosity at the center of the work.

Native American Therapists
What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process. Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.
How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance. If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
