Family therapy and counseling in Rochester, MN

I like to meet my clients “where they’re at”, meaning I’ll start wherever you need to. It is sacred to me that I provide a therapeutic setting where it is safe for you to be vulnerable and real- with no judgement or criticism. Within this safe space, we'll work together to find some clarity with your struggles or brokeness. "Courage is not having the strength to go on, it is going on when you don't have the strength". -Eleanor Roosevelt

You don't have to do this alone. Start your healing journey now. Unless you try to do things differently, nothing will change.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I received my Master’s degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from St. Mary’s University in Minneapolis and my Bachelor of Arts from California Lutheran College. I was also honored to receive departmental distinction in my class at California Lutheran University.

I have extensive experience in the mental health field, particularly in relationship healing. I work with adults, couples, and families as they deal with challenges and struggles in life. I work with individuals in the areas of depression, grief/loss, anxiety, spectrum disorders, relationship challenges, betrayal, and more. My work and experience with couples centers around communication, conflict management, affair repair, sex/intimacy issues, loss of connection, and relationship healing. I believe 90% of life is not what happens to us but how we react to situations. I am here to navigate through difficult situations and life stressors, and to help you find hope, healing, fulfillment, and personal growth.

I am passionate about providing a safe, respectful, and warm environment to work through a variety of concerns and begin the healing process in a person-centered way. I believe spirituality is an essential component of mental health and practice from a Christian worldview. I use an eclectic approach in therapy, including psychoeducation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I would be honored to journey with you through your therapeutic process.
