About me

I'm a licensed professional clinical counselor and art therapist here in Minnesota. I have four years of experience in a variety of settings, including outpatient clinics, art therapy studios, schools, shelters, and community drop in spaces. I've had the privileged of working with a variety of concerns which include anxiety, depression, phase of life/transition stressors, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, persistent mental illnesses, and more . I'm experienced in working with clients ages 7-70. I'm an LGBTQIA+ ally. I have experience supporting those who are marginalized and have witnessed how it can contribute to overall stress.
Research shows that therapy is more effective within a strong therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create authentic connections with every person I have the chance to support. When working with me, you can expect a warm, down to earth, judgement free environment-in addition to a good dose of humor every once in awhile. I have specific training in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, grounding techniques, expressive art therapy techniques. I believe in tailoring my approach to the unique needs of each individual.
I'm passionate about reducing the stigma associated with mental health, and increasing accessible mental heath care.
I look forward to hearing from you, and supporting your goals toward mental wellness.
