Pronouns: She/Her
Everyone is welcome in my space. I am focused on various mental health issues such as Anxiety, Depression, Life Issues, parenting, relationships, communication, Stress Management/Relaxation, and, Self-Esteem.
As a therapist, it is my job to see the whole of you. To listen, observe, and notice without judgment. I am a strong believer that people thrive when they are understood, accepted, and cared for. I will work hard to see you for who you really are. I am committed to helping you improve the quality of your life and relationships with others. I will treat you with the same time, dedication, commitment, and respect I would those closest to me. I will put your best interests first. I strive to provide an atmosphere of empathy, support, respect, safety, and acceptance without judgment. I work to build a rapport with my clients and educate them on skills that are useful in their lives. My style of therapy is very client-centered, strength-based, integrative/multifaceted, and uses multiple theoretical approaches; I will do my best to provide you with what you need as an individual. I concentrate on adapting my approaches to fit your unique needs by drawing on a variety of methods to help me determine the best combination of therapeutic tools to fit you. I utilize CBT, Mindfulness-focused therapy, DBT, and Solution-focused techniques. One of my many goals as a therapist is to inform my clients on their treatment options, refer clients to appropriate sources, and help them to understand what they can expect from therapy.
I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in Minnesota, and hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, and my Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from Capella University in Minneapolis, MN. I have additional experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I have worked in the mental health field for a number of years in a variety of settings with clients who have SPMI.
I am a mom of 3 girls, 2 dogs, and 2 birds. I am also a wife to an amazing husband. In my free time I enjoy spending as much time with my family as I can, gaming, traveling, camping, riding my ATV, and building Legos.
