Great to meet you!

With over 20 years of experience working in mental health and community programs/schools, I bring a local and eclectic point of view to address the emotional experience we have had as Minnesotans. I am a licensed clinical therapist to parents, children and adolescents, and young to middle age adults navigating today's societal demands.


I like helping people manage anxiety, depression and ADHD symptoms. Let's figure out how to not let these symptoms interfere with your optimal everyday functioning and long-term goals. I also enjoy helping people process family of origin related topics, as well as dealing with unexpected changes in life or planned transitions/changes.

My approach to therapy

I meet clients and families where they are at. I know it has taken thought, energy, and planning to be here looking for help. I like to think of my approach to therapy as a way to help you achieve your dreams by identifying the barriers and challenges along the way. You don't have to go it alone.

What you can expect from me

The first session with me will be gathering important background information that is relevant to our work together as well as answering any questions you have about therapy. Therapy can be focused or exploratory depending on what you are needing to get out of it.
