Do you ever feel stuck in your relationships or find yourself repeating patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward? You may understand what you want to change but still find yourself responding in familiar ways. I believe these patterns often make sense when we take time to understand where they come from.

My work is grounded in attachment and relational approaches. I enjoy helping clients explore how past experiences, relationships, and beliefs about themselves influence the way they connect with others. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, stronger boundaries, healthier communication, and more meaningful relationships.

I bring Master’s degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Special Education, along with over 10 years of experience in trauma and addiction counseling. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating concerns such as trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, identity, and life transitions. My style is warm, collaborative, and compassionate, and I draw from attachment-based, psychodynamic, strengths-based, mindfulness, somatic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches.

As a biracial therapist with African American and Norwegian heritage, I value the ways culture, identity, and lived experiences shape our relationships and sense of self. I strive to create a space where you can feel seen, understood, and accepted as you are. I also offer therapy in both English and Norwegian.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate developmental and attachment trauma, relationship challenges, and long-standing patterns shaped by family dynamics and intergenerational experiences.

I also enjoy supporting overwhelmed parents, adults facing life transitions, and those experiencing pregnancy, postpartum, and maternal mental health concerns.

My goal is to provide a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can better understand their experiences, strengthen their relationships, and develop the tools needed to create lasting healing and meaningful change.

You can expect to show up exactly as you are. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood and comfortable sharing your story. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded, offering gentle challenge when it supports your growth.

In our first session, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy, your experiences, relationships, and patterns that may be impacting your life. Together, we’ll look beneath the surface to better understand what you are carrying and work toward greater awareness, connection, and lasting change.
