I have had the honor of guiding and holding space for clients for over 5 years. I am often described as having a warm, compassionate, and grounded presence. As a clinician, my priority is to create a space where clients feel seen, heard, understood, and supported. I believe a strong therapeutic alliance is the foundation for vulnerability and authentic self-expression—leading to therapeutic change and growth.

I enjoy working with adult individuals through life transitions, stress, grief, trauma, and religious harm. I am passionate about helping clients create an authentic sense of self through exploring the big questions of life, finding meaning, finding an authentic belief system or spirituality, and learning to trust one’s inner guidance.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and hold a Master of Arts in Counseling. I have worked previously in private practice and as a Clinical Program Therapist at the Department of Corrections. Though I utilize an integrated therapeutic approach by drawing from an array of therapeutic modalities, my practice is grounded in a person-centered, psychodynamic, depth-oriented, body-based approach. I am trained in Brainspotting - a therapy model used to support holistic trauma processing and resolution on the physiological, emotional, and cognitive levels.

As a professional counselor, I value practicing regular mind, body, spirit self-care that allows me to serve from the overflow. I further place high value on doing my own work through a lifetime commitment to personal and professional growth and evolution. I grew up in North Dakota, though I have resided in the Twin Cities for the last several years. I describe myself as a true introvert who enjoys deep conversation, time spent by the ocean, beautiful hiking trails, reading, writing, and introspection. I would be honored to support you at this time in your journey!
