If you or your child has been through something painful, it can show up in ways that are hard to explain: anxiety that won't turn off, mood swings, shutting down, conflict at home, or feeling on edge even when life looks fine. I work with adolescents and adults who are tired of living in survival mode. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with more than 3 years of clinical experience, certified in both EMDR and DBT, and I grew up in the same Minnesota community I now serve. For clients who want it, I can bring faith into our work; for those who don't, it stays out of the room.

I use DBT to build real skills for intense emotions and hard relationships, and EMDR to help you process painful experiences without having to relive them in detail. When it fits, I add CBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work, and with younger clients I use play and family sessions, including parent coaching, so the whole household has tools. Therapy should ease what's happening now and make sense of what's underneath it. You set the pace.

Our first session is about getting to know you: what brought you here, what's been hardest, and what you hope will change. I see therapy as a partnership, so we'll set goals together and build a plan that fits your life, not a template. You don't need to have anything figured out before we start. If this sounds like a fit, reach out. I'd love to connect.
