About

I received my Master’s degree from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota in Marriage & Family Therapy in 2010. Additionally, I hold a Bachelor’s degree from St. Cloud State University in Applied Psychology. Since that time, I have worked in multiple roles within the mental health field, including schools, agencies, residential services, in-home services, and outpatient clinic settings. My primary areas of professional interest include providing therapy to those struggling with issues including anxiety, depression, and post- trauma stress . I am a certified DBT therapist, and am passionate about cultivating my knowledge and skills to tailor treatment around personal motivation and change.

My personal style in therapy is a combination of mindfulness, person-centered, strength-based, trauma- informed approach, creating a safe space from which to explore themes and patterns in my clients’ lives. I gently and enthusiastically hold your hand, so you feel fully supported on your journey of self- discovery and living with authenticity. I believe that emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being are intrinsically connected, and essential for life balance. When people are empowered with the tools necessary for personal growth and healing, change happens. You deserve good health, happiness, and peace. It is your right and privilege!

My personal interests include yoga, meditation, spending time with my kids, animals, nature, hiking, canoeing, bird watching, kayaking, singing and listening to music and the performing arts. I am passionate about supporting social justice efforts and world peace.

I look forward to working with you, and am excited to guide you as you move through challenges and get unstuck. Let’s do this together!
