Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Child Parent Psychotherapist in Minnesota and Washington with 10 years of clinical practice in a variety of settings. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, PTSD, PPD/A, traumatic births and disability, trouble adjusting after a big life change, and helping to process and shape impactful experiences. I've been able to facilitate healing from trauma, support navigating parenthood, inspire self expression, light motivation to make change, and witness clients embody renewed confidence. Adjusting to a huge change, need a confidential way to navigate a crisis, confusing breakup, overwhelming childhood trauma, depressed and need an overhaul?

My approach to therapy

To best understand and support you, I will stay curious about your thoughts, feelings and experiences. I use attunement, humor, intuition and clinical techniques to guide you through a reflective and therapeutic experience.

Parent Child Psychotherapy is an evidence based way to look into our past through a compassionate and developmental lens. There we can see our needs for healing and our areas of growth. Sessions foster healing, build coping, and set and manage goals for a healthy and hopeful future.

I believe that knowledge is power, so I use honest and bite sized ways to teach you about thoughts and feelings, and guide you towards mental wellness.

What you can expect from me

Clients express to me at the end of sessions- that they have a clearer, less confusing thought process, that they feel lighter and more creative about their problems, that they feel seen and heard and more hopeful for the future.

Many of us, walk alone on a confusing and dark path, or try and excavate deeply buried things that are too heavy to lift. If doing it all alone works- it would've worked by now. Let's light a new path together, let's excavate together because that's where the gems are.
