Welcome to your journey in healing! I am a Marriage & Family Therapist based in Minnesota. I have over a decade of experience working in community mental health. I have experience working in outpatient mental health programs, dual diagnosis recovery centers, hospital based programs, private practice, and the mental health court system.
I believe therapy works best when it engages the whole person - body, mind, emotions and spirit. As a therapist I provide a supportive, honest and compassionate space for the unfolding of your healing journey. My goal is to help you address the issues that keep you from living more fully, deeply and an authentic life. I firmly believe in the power of relationships to bring about change and healing. I am passionate about partnering with people in their journey of discovering connections that lead to more authentic relationships with one's self and others. My approach is relational in nature, with a systemic, narrative, LGBTQ+ affirmative and experiential approach using mindfulness and creative processes as tools to help clients achieve their desired goals and focus in therapy.
