Welcome! I am a Minnesota transplant with Southern roots. I have been working in the mental health field since 2009, specializing in addiction issues and mood disorders like bipolar disorder. I love using Dialectical Behavior Therapy because it addresses how to manage emotions when we feel out of control.
I am a direct and genuine therapist. This means we can joke around and afterwards I will ask you where that dark humor is coming from. Therapy can be fun AND productive. It's most important to me that you feel that you are making progress. If something isn't working, let's make some changes! I look forward to hearing from you!
You can leave our sessions feeling supported and challenged. I may encourage you to push yourself and think about things from a different perspective. Ultimately, I want clients to feel empowered and believe in themselves.
