I obtained my Masters of Social Work from the University of Minnesota Duluth and have over ten years of master's experience. Still, I have been working with people for many more. I have three kids and three dogs. I also have two cats and many chickens. I enjoy running, hiking, snowshoeing, snowboarding and glamping. I am also an avid reader.
I adopt a non-judgmental and exploratory approach, focusing on the complexities of human nature rather than labels. My wellness methods include cognitive behavioral techniques, empowerment, DBT-informed strategies, EMDR, and solution-focused therapy. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, SPMI, crisis, post-natal transition, and problematic sexual concerns. I have training in EMDR, sexuality, and supervision/conflict management.
As a therapist, I’m dedicated to helping individuals achieve their wellness goals and navigate past challenges. Therapy is a valuable support, much like visiting a doctor when needed. I love helping people recognize their worth and rediscover the joy of being human.
