Are you a spouse or family member who is struggling with the grief of a Line of Duty Death or a Suicide of your loved one? Now more than ever the stress within these careers continues to grow, and not taking the time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I'm a trained EMDR therapist and I have over a decade of experience working with those who have endured trauma, substance use, depression, anxiety, compassion fatigue, and other mental health concerns.

An ideal client for me is anyone that wants to engage in therapy and better themselves, their situation, and their life. I love the variety of clients I see and am ready to meet them where they are at. Whether it's a life transition, daily life stressors, relationship challenges, or something more long term, I am here to help. I enjoy seeing teenagers and adults. I would be honored to support you through your mental health journey and improving your life.

This isn’t what you were expecting. You didn’t anticipate you would feel this way. You thought everything was going fine! Now here you are hitting snooze, cancelling plans, and feeling mentally drained. Imagine experiencing less anxiety, greater self-esteem, stronger relationships, stress relief, and resolution from emotional wounds! Working together, let's remove the obstacles that block you from living your ideal life. Some of the most significant, life-changing moments are jumpstarted in the course of a conversation. Feeling heard and respected opens the door to possibilities! You deserve to feel confident in your decisions.

I use a combination of wit, humor, and therapeutic techniques to help you navigate life's challenges. I would love to offer you a unique and effective therapeutic experience. With a dash of sarcasm and a sprinkle of humor, I try to bring a refreshing and engaging approach to therapy. I am passionate about helping my clients achieve lasting change and personal growth through Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and a collaborative approach to therapy.

I'm a licensed counselor and Registered Play Therapist, and I'm thrilled to connect with you. Whether you're a child, adolescent, or young adult, I'm here to support you on your journey. Using evidence-based therapies like CBT, TF-CBT, and Play Therapy, I tailor my approach to suit your specific needs. I'm a firm believer in the power of the person-centered approach, meaning I meet you where you're at in life, ready to provide the support, hope, and healing you deserve. At heart, I believe in creating a safe and trusting environment where you can freely share your unique story.

I take an inviting approach to counseling, and collaborate with my clients in their healing. I believe people to be resilient, and know that we all get “stuck” sometimes. I work with my clients to identify their strengths and resources to get “unstuck” and move toward thriving in their lives. I see individuals from all walks of life struggling with a variety of stressors from depression, traumatic experiences, life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, burnout/resilience, relationship strain, to any other issue that could be a road block to living a fulfilling life.

In any given year, 1 in 5 adults in the United States is impacted by depression or anxiety. Are you walking through life alone? I strive to see, hear, understand, and empower you to reach your desires and capacity while navigating the challenges and seasons of life. Are you wired and tired, albeit parenting, relationally, occupationally, or perhaps you are grieving the loss of health or a loved one, or life has taken a turn you aren't prepared for? Addictions can be seductive, cunning, and baffling and result in a gradual erosion of what matters. You are worthy of a gentler, softer way through life that I will guide you through.

Just because you carry it well doesn’t mean it’s not heavy. If you are strong for others all the time, chances are you don’t have time to care for yourself. Let me provide you with a space and time where you are the priority. Where there are no risks of disappointing or upsetting me. Think of me like a conflict-free crash test dummy for your emotions. I’m not scared to sit with you in whatever it is that makes up your perfect storm. My purpose is to have your back and help you gain new perspective as you move into the future, not to judge how you’ve chosen to survive in the past.

My life-long passion is to help children, adolescents, and families heal. I work with children with a range of presenting concerns including attachment, behavior, mood and anxiety. I provide evidence-based treatments within a caring, trusting therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with children that are considered "complex" including those who have had early developmental trauma and those who have behavioral difficulties that cause significant challenges. Helping parents to become more attuned and connected allows for healing across generations.

I believe genuine connection is an essential part of our wellness, healing, and growth. My hope is to create safe space for you to unapologetically be yourself through support, validation, and even a healthy dose of humor. I strive to help you feel heard and understood while you work toward your unique goals. I can help you navigate challenges and roadblocks that may be impacting you individually, such as difficult relationships or lack of purpose. I'll also help you consider how broader sources of stress impact you, such as systems of oppression and navigating our difficult world.

Part of our living experience are the challenges we face as we learn and grow as individuals, within our families, and communities. These challenges, and at times struggles, can be the precursors to new opportunities and personal growth. From our most difficult experiences emerges strength we did not know we possessed, talents, and abilities which we did not know we embodied. I know you have all within you which you need to change, acquire, and become that which you are seeking. The privilege of my professional work is to aid in the full discovery of your strengths, talents, and capabilities.

Does life feel like a chore? There is more to life than just going through the motions. You are worth investing time on yourself. Your story is important!

Do you constantly feel like you're trying to fit in? For creative thinkers it can be so hard to find our place in the world. We get lost in the daily shuffle and can often lose a sense of who we are and who we want to be. So often past trauma and harmful relationships completely change our views of ourselves. We feel disconnected, unmotivated, and lost. Change and healing CAN happen. Sometimes, it just takes a little bit of creativity.

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.

Is the joy you once felt is missing? Are you are going through the motions but not really living? If life isn't what you thought it would be and you feel like you are trudging through your days, you have come to the right place. You are not alone. A favorite quote of mine: "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style" - Maya Angelou- It is within you to get there!
