Teletherapy for Summit Hill - Saint Paul, MN

Having challenges with mental health can be overwhelming, lonely, and distressing. My goal is to welcome you and/or your loved ones to a comfortable space where we can explore these difficulties. I come with an accepting trauma-informed mindset to encourage learning, growth, and perseverance. Let me join you in finding your strengths and resilience.

Are you sick of only talking about logistics in your relationship? Do you long for moments of fun and connection? I am an attachment-oriented therapist who sees couples who are ready to find each other again. We can work together to increase communication, look into your shared needs and dreams, and plan for how to meet them as a team. We can talk through value differences and how to make space for each other even when you don’t see eye to eye. As a student intern I am supported by my supervisor, allowing double the insight for your care!

Navigating interpersonal relationships to enhance wellbeing and a sense of tranquility need not be a solitary endeavor. The world can feel chaotic; our lives need not mirror this tumult. Feelings of irritation, sadness, fear, and emptiness are normal in times of change and uncertainty. When these feelings become overpowering or they are negatively impacting your life: change is critical. I believe exploring your ideal personal philosophy is critical to (re) establish life balance.

As a Licensed Psychologist, my professional approach encourages a person's strengths, inherent resilience, and individual differences that contribute to personal development and meaningfulness. My previous experiences include providing psychotherapy services to a diverse range of individuals, couples, families, and groups in a variety of settings, from college counseling and career assessment centers to community mental health and specialty clinics. I earned both a Master's and Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from the University of Minnesota, and I completed my Pre-doctoral Internship at the University of Michigan and Post-doctoral Fellowship at an eating disorder treatment center.

Do you spend too much time comparing yourself to others? Are you frustrated in trying to communicate with those you love? Does your career feel like a dead end? There is HOPE and a way forward. I see people change their lives on a daily basis. I will be with you on this journey, understanding you, helping you to identify patterns that are getting in your way and encouraging you on your path towards an internal revolution and becoming the best version of you.

Have you been wondering if you need to make a change to your drinking or substance use, but don’t feel like AA or rehab is a good fit? Have you been searching for alternatives, but keep running into programs that all sound the same? If so, I offer a fresh perspective on how to make lasting changes in these areas.

At times, dealing with emotional and relational challenges and other life stressors can feel frustrating and overwhelming. I will listen to you carefully and work with you to identify those issues clearly, then develop healthier approaches and coping skills to improve your sense of integration and wholeness. I will collaborate with you to create a life with a greater sense of authenticity and fulfillment. Trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, alcohol and chemical use, co-dependency, relationships, anger, and life transitions are all challenges with which I am able to help you.

Because I believe we grow and learn throughout our life, I delight in working with all people. I see therapy as a supportive environment created for the purpose of encouraging one another in times of need, as well as joy. I have specialized experience working with children and families, empowering each during tough transitions such as toddlerhood and adolescence, while collaborating during unexpected and challenging issues like ADHD, anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma and more. I utilize play, narrative, feminist, and mindfulness therapies to encourage hope and develop authentic connections with each person I see.

Are you looking for a way to feel better and to start taking steps toward the life you want to live? Perhaps you've been putting everyone else's needs above your own, or maybe you've been holding up everyone else while you're struggling to just hold onto yourself. If you've lost yourself along the way, I know how hard that can be, and you no longer need to suffer in silence. Whether you’re feeling stuck in depression, anxiety, overwhelm, emptiness, or loneliness, together we can start moving you toward relief from the pain you're experiencing and toward a life you feel excited to live.

I am passionate about supporting clients in improving the quality of their relationships. Building stronger connections with loved ones (those present with us and through grief work) can provide increased meaning and have a significant effect on our personal wellness and sense of community/social belonging.
