Savage, Minnesota was the landing spot of the Scottish and Irish immigrants in the 1800s and was named after Marion Willis Savage, owner of the famous racehorse, Dan Patch. According to residents, Patch made the town famous after breaking the world pacing mile record in 1906. But the town of Savage is not just about horse racing. 

They are surrounded by water with the Credit River on the south side and Minnesota to the north, making watersports and transportation an important factor. Although savage is just a name, sometimes you may feel like the world is savage when things are not going well. You may just need someone to talk to such as a counselor, which they have plenty of in town.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 26 years experience providing Christian counseling services to individuals and couples helping with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship challenges and major life transitions. Additionally, my background also includes nursing, military life and teaching college level courses. My counseling style reflects a relationship focused approach utilizing Cognitive-Behavioral strategies. I have a holistic approach to help one move towards change that includes a focus on individual and relational awareness, taking responsibility and pursuing well-being in every area of life. As an individual client, you will be encouraged to explore and build a deeper understanding of yourself, your strengths and your responses to life’s challenges as well as develop a greater awareness of your relationship with God and others. As a couple, you will also be engaged in a holistic approach. But in addition, you will be encouraged to explore the unique dynamics of your relationship and God's design while developing greater insight into your needs, strengths and your responses to life’s challenges as a team. All help to create a lifelong commitment. While my Christian faith is the foundation for my services, I am respectful to understand your needs and to help you work toward your specific goals.

My relational life, as a therapist and otherwise, is guided by the principles of compassion and curiosity.
