Grief counselors and therapists in Duluth, MN

I have been providing therapy to adults experiencing a wide range of symptoms and life challenges since 2015.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is a very important part of this journey and that finding the right fit for a therapist is necessary. Please feel free to shoot me an email or give me a call so we can talk and see if I might be the best fit for you.

My professional background includes community mental health, university counseling, private practice, and working in multicultural settings.

I specialize in advanced medication management for complex, treatment-resistant conditions. I utilize a neurobiological approach that focuses on frontal lobe/executive functioning, nervous system dysregulation, and neurotransmitter systems to diagnose and treat various concerns - ADHD/executive dysfunction, anxiety, OCD, trauma/C-PTSD, high-masking autism, personality structures, and cases where standard medication treatments have failed. While I specialize in clinical complexity, I bring that same deep, careful attention to treating anxiety, depression, and clients starting medication for the first time.

I am a warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental clinician who cares about those who show up for therapy. I am inquisitive, curious and direct in challenging thoughts and behavior that get in the way of living a happy, fulfilling life. I encourage individuals, couples and families to lean into/draw strength from their spiritual and/or religious beliefs. I enjoy and encourage utilizing the gift of humor to enrich one’s life.

I enjoy working with college students. I am also an AAMFT Approved Supervisor for college students seeking supervision. (I would not be able to provide therapy and AAMFT Supervision to a client - as that would be a "dual" relationship).

We are all given a deck of cards that are not of our choosing. When it comes to therapy, I believe we can all play our cards to the best of our ability, when taught the skills needed to succeed. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I have been providing therapy for over 5 years. My specialties in the last 2 years have focused on individuals of all ages with OCD, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and BFRB's. I also have experience with time management, substance abuse, grief, career choices, and identity development.
