Licensed in Minnesota & Wisconsin! ​Queer and Trans folx in distress deserve skilled clinicians who understand their lived experiences and identities.

I decided to become a therapist because of my passion for helping others. My mission is to help others heal and grow. When people have a safe space to explore their concerns, the possibilities for healing and growth are endless. It is an honor for me to provide that space and empower others to identify the next steps in their journey. I facilitate a welcoming, safe, judgment-free zone. I promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. My approach is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive.

Our foundation, which includes our childhood and the dynamics of our family, directly impacts our thoughts about ourselves and others. It affects our behaviors and relationships. Most of my clients have some sort of childhood trauma that is affecting their ability to move in a peaceful, productive direction. Understanding how the brain is affected, and how to incorporate positive thoughts and behaviors, can change a person's life. It takes courage to share our inner thoughts and experiences. I appreciate the strength in my clients and build on these, showing them they have what it takes to make positive changes.

Whether you are in the beginning stages of questioning your gender &/or sexual identity or have been out for many years & looking for ways to celebrate your identity(ies), my hope is that therapy offers a place to process all the hurt, joy, and trauma - free from judgement.

As a teen or young adult, the constant change you face can make it hard to catch your breath—especially when you’re also trying to figure out aspects of your identity, navigate dating and relationships, and deal with anxiety or things from your past.

I identify as a trans man, have been through the journey of figuring out my own identity, and want to help you do the same—whether you’re (2S)LGBTQIA+ or not. I value humor in sessions when it’s appropriate because I think it helps us connect and process tough emotions.

My clinical focus addresses the needs of people of all ages experiencing eating disorders, depression, anxiety and self harm/NSSI representing diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. I work in tandem with my clients toward an enhanced understanding of the ways in which our constructions of experience impact the way we think and feel and our subsequent actions and behaviors.

Therapy provides time and opportunity for self-care. Intentional time taken to discover the deeper layers of one’s heart, mind, and soul. When working with clients, my approach is collaborative, honest, and compassionate. My goal is to help clients live fully and to help them achieve the understanding, desires, and dreams they wish to have. I look forward to getting to know each client and understanding how I can tailor treatment to best fit each persons’ needs.

Greetings! Sometimes we benefit from a non-biased, affirming source of support to open new pathways to pleasure and fulfillment - both of which we are all inherently deserving of. I invite clients to come as their authentic selves, explore the nuance of “what is,” and challenge narratives they may be ready to shed. As a systemic therapist, I believe all systems we exist within impact us. Clients can expect to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as experiences informed by family, partnership, community, work, and broader social systems.

I am a licensed professional counselor who provides psychotherapy to children, adolescents and adults. My specialty is working with individuals that have challenges with anxiety, depression; or grief. My experience is gained from both a clinical setting as well as providing services within schools.

My approach to therapy is based on cognitive behavioral therapy along with a very person-centered feel for what my clients need. I would be happy to talk with you about your therapy journey to better mental health and well-being.

Clients wanting to optimize their potential and willing to explore effective solutions from Western and Eastern wisdom traditions are my specialty.

I work with adolescents, adults, families and couples from every orientation. Of course, the LBGT community is welcome. Respectful of every religious orientation, I love working with anyone wanting to unite their physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual aspects of their being.

Entering into counseling takes both courage and vulnerability. I work with children, teens, adults, families, and couples, using an approach of trust and mutual respect, believing that every person is doing the best they can and has the ability to grow and learn.
