I am a 2005 graduate of The University of South Dakota with a Masters in Counseling, and I have honed my skills towards healing the nervous system. As an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I am trained to address trauma and the nervous system with EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy as well as The Safe and Sound Protocol based in The Polyvagal Theory.

I am a client centered therapist who helps address past and present experiences with compassion and accurate information to unlock behavior from set patterns. In addition to the interventions mentioned, I use parts language and resourcing strategies to calm the nervous system and allow space for change.
I accept Cigna, United, and Aetna Insurance.
Through creating a safe place together to do our work, clients will feel seen and understood. Upon completion of our therapeutic relationship, my goal for clients is to feel empowered to show up authentically and with the freedom that we all truly desire.
