Everyone deserves quality mental health care. Mental health IS health. Whether you are seeking support to get out of a stuck place, to process the past, or work through a tough life transition, I am honored to walk alongside you on your path of healing and growth. After a long first career as an artist, I came to realize I wasn’t satisfied with my contribution to the world. I returned to school for a master’s in social work so that my sense of purpose and meaning can better align with my life’s work. Having made this mid-life shift, I know that change is possible.
I draw from multiple evidence-based treatment modalities, always with a client-centered, compassionate, and trauma-informed approach. I will work with you to identify and use your strengths to navigate the changes you wish for yourself.
I grew up in a family of educators, and I believe we are all lifelong learners. In my personal life, I am both a traveler and a homebody. I value quiet and solitude as well as my relationships with my husband, two grown daughters, and dear friends. When Minnesota is thawed, I love to garden - weeding and digging my hands in the dirt is very therapeutic!

EMDR can be particularly beneficial in the work of healing from trauma, chronic depression and anxiety, and negative self-concepts. I utilize a combination of mind/body awareness, psychoeducation on our nervous system and the fight/flight/freeze/fawn response, and targeted EMDR sessions.
