As a therapist, my goal is to empower others and utilize a strength-based, integrative approach to fit the needs of each individual client. One of my priorities in my practice is to provide a safe place for people to express themselves and be vulnerable in a non-judgmental environment. Previous experiences in my life have influenced my career path, which often gives me the ability to connect easily with others. I have an undergraduate degree in addiction studies from Minot State University and a master’s degree in counseling from the University of North Dakota.

There are many reasons why you may have decided to look for a therapist. Maybe you are hitting a tough spot in you life, your relationships are struggling, you have decided to address traumatic experiences, or you are just not sure where you want to be in life. In my practice, I work with individuals, couples and families facing these and many other concerns. I regard therapy as a collaboration; not a one-size-fits-all formula. I work to provide space for your unique experience and seek to find what works for you.

Hi! My life path to this point looks more like the scribbling of a 2-year-old than the "normal" pathway that one is supposed to take. If you are wanting a clinician to tell you how to do things the "normal" way and teach you to assimilate - you may want to check someone else's profile. If you want someone who understands brains that think differently and will try their best to figure out your strengths and a way to help you make the most of your neuro-spiciness, I am here for you (I am grateful for a spicy & smart client for that terminology!).

I work with clients ages 10+ in areas of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, communication/relationship issues, burnout management, women's health, and adjusting to life changes.
If you are feeling stuck, ever found yourself telling others you feel "stuck," feel like you have tried therapy before, and nothing helped. If you have gone through a major life event: moved, relocated, had a baby, got married, in and out of relationships, struggling to communicate at work, school, or home. If you are realizing that old stuff from your past has surfaced, is starting to surface, and it's harder and harder to keep it all inside and feel tense inside. If you have realized you don't want your children to experience or be raised the way you have been.

Welcome. Navigating the challenges of today's world can be hard to do alone. This journey can feel even more difficult when we are dealing with negative feelings and stressful events. I believe therapy is more than a place to talk about our feelings and experiences. Therapy should provide a warm and welcoming safe environment. It should be free of judgments and offer you the space to form a trusting and respectful therapeutic relationship on your own terms. As a therapist, I strive to provide transparency and compassion in a setting that is never rushed and always client lead, via Telehealth.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
