Seeking therapy is a brave choice, and one that many people find useful at some point in their lives. Having an opportunity to explore and reflect in a safe and non-judgmental environment can prove to be an experience that facilitates change and growth. I see therapy as a process that therapist and client engage in together, creating a safe, trusting relationship in which you feel heard and can explore the issues that are most central to you at this time.

As a therapist, I will show up with intentionality, compassion and authenticity. I will listen to your story knowing that you are the expert on your life, seeking to understand and encourage empowerment. I believe in the innate wisdom of the body and will facilitate a process of discovering your individual way to reach healing and grounded-ness.

I work primarily with adults and young adults experiencing life transitions, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, and LGBTQ+ identities and concerns. I draw from mindfulness based, psychodynamic, and sensorimotor approaches. I am a certified EMDR therapist and a Reiki practitioner.

I completed my graduate work in social work at the University of Minnesota and have focused much of my post graduate work and training in the areas of trauma, anxiety, LGBTQ+ identities and concerns, supervision, and mindfulness & whole-body integrative therapies. Prior to my full-time clinical practice, I was a full-time faculty member in the School of Social Work at St. Catherine University-University of St. Thomas and am currently an Adjunct Faculty at Augsburg University.

I welcome hearing from you so that we can explore the things you care about and wish to address.
