I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD in Developmental Psychology. I bring over 7 years of experience as a therapist and more than 25 years of experience as a coach. My career has taken me into school-based mental health, addiction treatment, residential care for children and teens, and outpatient settings supporting individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. This wide range of experience has given me a deep understanding of the many ways people struggle—and the many ways they can heal. I have supported clients working through depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, addiction (including pornography), self-harm, anger management, and recovery from abuse. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and have extensive experience walking alongside people as they process and overcome painful life experiences. Therapy starts with your story. You are the expert on your life, and my role is to listen, understand, and help you move toward the goals that matter most to you. I provide a space grounded in respect, compassion, and dignity where you can feel safe to be yourself. I draw from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Bowenian theory, and Rational-Emotive Behavioral Therapy. I don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” therapy. Instead, we collaborate to create a plan that fits your needs, your values, and your pace. Life brings challenges that none of us are meant to face alone. Whether you’re working through anxiety, healing from trauma, managing stress, or wanting a clearer perspective on where you’re headed, I will be in your corner. Together, we’ll build practical strategies and lasting tools so you can move forward with confidence, resilience, and hope. I look forward to getting to know you, listening to your story, and supporting you as you work toward positive change.

I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Minnesota. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), a credential granted by the Minnesota Board of Social Work. With over 30 years of dedicated experience, I have specialized in working with individuals addressing a variety of challenges, including depression, the impact of divorce, adjustments to new environments, anxiety, and relationship issues. I also support families navigating the complexities of divorce. I understand that considering therapy can be a significant and often daunting step for many. To ease this transition, I offer a personable, empathetic approach that fosters a welcoming, supportive environment. My therapeutic practice is grounded in Reality Therapy, and I am certified in Choice Theory, a pioneering psychological model developed by Dr. William Glasser. Reality Therapy diverges from traditional mental health frameworks by focusing on individuals facing universal human challenges, rather than labeling these experiences as mental illnesses. This empowering approach emphasizes personal responsibility and provides individuals with the autonomy to choose how they wish to move forward, fostering a sense of control and self-determination in their journey towards mental well-being. My goal is to guide clients in discovering practical solutions that resonate with their unique life circumstances.
