She/Her/Hers Life can be loud, chaotic, and overwhelming. Something powerful happens when we slow down enough to get quiet. My work is rooted in creating that stillness: a calm, grounding space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and unhurried. Within that quiet, you have room to look honestly at everything that has shaped you. The relationships we carry, the communities we belong to, the beliefs and experiences woven into who we are; all of it belongs here.

Together, we’ll explore the many layers of who you are and how you came to be. I’m drawn to looking closely at the forces that have influenced you, not to place blame or dwell in the past, but to understand how they live in you today and what might be ready to shift. I take a holistic and integrative approach grounded in humanistic and narrative principles, tailored to each person I work with. I focus on strengthening your relationship with yourself as the foundation of healing, reconnecting you with your inner wisdom and intuition, and challenging the narratives that may no longer be serving you.

I work with adults of all ages navigating depression, life transitions, anxiety, grief, and the everyday weight of a demanding world. I believe the part of you that is ready to grow brought you here. Something in you already knows the way forward, even if it doesn’t feel that way yet. The path often begins with feeling less alone in where you are right now. The goal isn’t to become someone new. It is to help you come home to who you already are.

I believe in a holistic approach to health and healing. Through an integration of several theories and ideologies, I work with individuals, couples and any constellation of family members, specializing in relational therapy.

The person we are today has much to do with the relationships we’ve experienced throughout the course of our lives. Each person has a unique story to tell and that story is a critical component of who we are and guides who we become. My goal is to create a safe space with the right conditions for change where each client or relationship is able to increase awareness and find a lasting impact.

There can be many underlying causes of mental, emotional, and psychological symptoms. Through the relationships built, my goal is to help you increase life satisfaction and overall wellness.

My clinical interests are currently within the realms of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance/Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I have experience in utilizing Dialectic Behavior Training (DBT) approaches and continue to study and implement DBT. I am interested in providing group therapy, couples’ therapy, and individual therapy.

I obtained my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Bemidji State University and have been working in the field of mental health and social work for almost a decade. I have experience in providing a variety of mental health services and overseeing various transitional housing and supported-living programs in St. Paul and Minneapolis. I have provided Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS), Vocational Rehabilitative Services (VRS), Individualized Living Skills (ILS), among others. I believe in the efficacy of holistic approaches to physical and mental well-being. This involves a therapist tailoring their approach to meet each individual’s needs and preferences, through integration of different types of therapeutic approaches.

Additionally, my interest and study of neuroscience has led me to emphasize the interaction between physical and mental health, in the work I do. I am passionate about providing therapy that is multiculturally-sensitive and am always seeking to broaden my knowledge and expertise in that. My experience has highlighted the importance of providing person-centered planning and support, which involves consideration of the wishes/needs of the client first, and that continues to be a theme in my work.

Shame is a skilled liar, and it can falsely convince us that we’re better off facing our struggles alone. But it’s everyone’s first time being a human, and no one has it all figured out!

I am passionate about working with folks whose voices are all too often silenced: justice-involved, adjusting to life after incarceration, navigating addictive or compulsive behavior patterns, feeling disconnected from their authentic selves, seeking personal meaning in life, or recovering after religious, domestic, or sexual abuse, harm, or trauma. You deserve to be affirmed and supported on the courageous path of healing and self-discovery.

Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded in compassion, empathy, and curiosity. I offer an inclusive environment in which clients experience me as warm, authentic, and humorous when appropriate. My approach is person-centered with elements of narrative, feminist, existential, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical-behavioral therapies.

Finding the right therapist can be an overwhelming and vulnerable process. You are the expert on yourself and your needs, and you deserve a therapist who honors that expertise. I invite you to reach out and schedule a 15-minute consultation to explore how we can work together to make the changes you desire. I look forward to hearing from you!

I believe that therapy offers an opportunity to discover and nurture the unique conditions that you need to grow. Feeling seen and heard without judgement is important, and taking time to courageously explore your inner world can be a powerful step towards building a richer life. In therapy, I hope to help you connect with your instincts, strengthen your relationship with yourself and others, discover what makes your life feel meaningful, and solidify your sense of self-acceptance and belonging in the world. Drawing primarily from psychodynamic and humanistic theories, I believe that an attuned and caring therapeutic relationship is foundational to the work of therapy. Together, we can explore how your past may be shaping your current experience of life and take time to sort out the perspectives that feel congruent with who you are today. I also appreciate the potency of the present moment and will help you explore reactions, emotions, and relational patterns as they arise in real time. I believe that growth can unfold naturally when we take time to understand who we are, engage our whole selves, and more fully inhabit the present moment. Values that I bring to my work include curiosity, empathy, creativity, and an open mind. Having studied literature as an undergrad, I enjoy working with stories, metaphors, dreams, and patterns. Making the choice to confront painful topics can be quite challenging at times, and more than anything I strive to create a space where you can feel accepted along the way.
