Accepting New Clients. Understanding ourselves requires courage. Each of us have shame, pain, and broken relationships. At times it can feel overwhelming to face these places in our lives alone. Counseling offers a safe, confidential, and relational space for you to come and understand what has/is happening in your life. My hope is that you may understand yourself better and come to trust yourself. As you care for yourself, you will find that forging safer, healthier, and more satisfying relationships with others is possible. I am a trained relational psychotherapist; I work with adolescents and adults in the Fargo/Moorhead area.

I specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma or verbal, emotional, physical or sexual abuse in their families or close relationships. Particularly when abuse happens earlier in life or over a long period, those suffering may develop various symptoms including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, self harm, substance use, and anger issues. I view symptoms as ways of coping that have helped you survive so far. We collaborate in therapy to help you find new ways to relate to yourself and others, and create a more meaningful and satisfying life, however that might look for you.

I provide couples therapy. The relationship is my client. I work hard to understand each partners perspectives and map out negative cycles that are interfering with connection.

I'm passionate about helping people create a more fulfilling life within each partner and their relationships. I have been helping couples, families, and individuals since 2007. My focus is to help you enrich your life and the lives around you in a judgment free setting at 360 Therapy Associates.

Do you feel like you have burned bridges or have been cut out of the lives of those you love the most? Maybe you are feeling lost, confused, and lonely. Living with addiction puts us under unusual stress. We take on role of caregiving, the addict, the person who is blamed, and the other who is working to be the hero. These roles are results of a loss of control and hurt all because you care. That you are here.

I love talking to everyone who walks through my door. I find particular joy in empowering individuals who struggle with their self-esteem and confidence and validating individuals who feel shame or that their issue is too taboo.
