About me
I am licensed in Minnesota with 5 years of professional work experience and over 10 years of experience in various behavioral health settings including residential, outpatient services and crisis response. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, & coping with life changes. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
My vision in therapy is to create a sacred and safe space to meet you where you are at in your experiences and offer support as you navigate the challenges and obstacles you face. I learn about life through your experience and with your invitation, I can share what I notice or offer support. I am a student to learning about life through your experience and I am also a teacher through sharing my training, education and wisdom about your circumstance. My theoretical orientation is eclectic in that I am passionate about evidenced based practices and the integration of ancient wisdom such as mindfulness strategies, reiki and holistic healing modalities. I have received training in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness based self-compassion, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy and person centered approach.
You are the healer of your own life and I am your guide to finding the tools that encourage this. I am here to support your innate gifts and uniqueness as you find your path to achieving your wildest dreams. I admire the courage and strength that you are demonstrating by investing in yourself. Investing in yourself is the greatest gift you can receive. It is also a gift for your loved ones, when you are well resourced and supported. Thank you for considering me as a partner on your journey!

Very attentive and I feel like I’m heard clearly. She also works to understand my point of view and offers great perspectives for me to consider. She also gives great resources to help me understand concepts we talk about.

She is very helpful in recognizing my targeted areas that need work. Yet Flexible when I have something else that I would like to work on.
