About

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Minnesota and have a Masters degree from the MN School of Professional Psychology. I have worked with individuals, couples, families, and groups for nearly 15 years providing therapy, in-home skills work, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My varied experience coupled with my own as a mom has particularly drawn me towards working with pregnant people and parents of children of all ages. I am trained in Positive Discipline and have a passion for providing parenting support for those looking to expand their toolbox of skills. I strongly believe that each parent is doing their very best with the skills they have and I am honored to come alongside you to make your parent-child relationship the most mutually-fulfilling it can be.

I also love working with young adults experiencing a variety of stressors or life changes such as college, relationships, processing family of origin, and life direction.

Finally, I have experience and comfort working with individuals and couples with unique opportunities such as blended or polyamorous families. My approach is often solution-focused and I am skilled in identifying and nurturing the inherent strengths of each person and family. I am gentle but direct in my approach and believe that a good sense of humor is a necessity in therapy and life, in general.

Please note that my availability is generally daytime hours Monday through Friday. I have very limited evening hours so would be most appropriate for clients who have daytime flexibility.
