Accepting new clients. Does life feel harder than it should? Do you feel like you've lost your own identity in the midst of your relationships or work? Are you struggling to adapt to the season of life? I can help. I work with adults and teens, individually and together. I enjoy helping people understand themselves better - who they are today and who they want to become. This often involves looking at our family, the one we were given and the one we have chosen. I believe relationships are our greatest resource for stability and support, and I love helping people find more grounding and belonging through healthy connections.
I am a licensed therapist in Minnesota, Arizona, and Florida and have worked with families, couples, and individuals for more than 15 years. If you want to improve communication, set better boundaries, or develop an intentional approach to your life, I can help you get there.
Whatever has prompted you to consider therapy, I commend you for your self-advocacy and bravery. It's never easy to ask for help, but your choice to do so is a sign of resilience and of the strength you'll need to move forward. I would love to hear your story.

I work with individuals and couples struggling with issues related to parenting, identity, communication, and family of origin issues. I want to hear your story and to identify together the main problem so we can set achievable goals. Most clients feel more hopeful when we set timeframes and identify the first steps to reach the larger goals. Therapy isn't forever, just until things are better.

A trusting and open therapeutic relationship is foundational to change, so the beginning of our time together will focus on your trust and comfort. Together, we will discuss what brought you here, where you'd like to see change, and then develop both a treatment plan and a tentative timeline. I use elements of CBT and Person-Centered therapy chiefly but each client is unique, as is my approach.
