Great to meet you!

I received a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Minnesota, and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from St. Mary's University. I have over two decades of experience in working with individuals in a variety of settings including outpatient clinics, hospitals, domestic abuse and homeless shelters, county contracted services, as well as private practice settings. I make every effort to bring compassion, thoughtfulness, and sometimes even a little humor to my practice.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I offer an integrative and holistic approach to therapy. I draw upon the most current evidenced based practices, nutrition, physical activity, as well as professional and personal experiences.

What you can expect from our first session

You can expect respectful, confidential, quality best practices.

Commitment to ongoing education and increasing awareness.

Collaboration to gain a deeper understanding, consider new perspectives, behaviors and feelings towards challenging life situations.
