I provide individual therapy and psychological assessment services across the lifespan. I appreciate anyone who is willing to work on themselves, whether it be through therapy or the assessment process. Psychological assessment can be a daunting idea for some. I strive to cultivate a space where we can explore difficulties in your life while celebrating strengths. With psychological assessment, I hope to provide insight and increase your understanding of yourself to take on the trials of life.
I believe therapy is more than people talking in a room together. It is an opportunity for growth, to be truly understood, and to work towards reaching one’s goals in a nonjudgmental environment. It’s full of difficulties and hardships, laughter and joy, struggles and accomplishments. Therapy is for all, no matter how big or small the perceived problem may be. While I work with you, I will do my best to celebrate the uniqueness of you and create a therapeutic environment that is supportive yet challenging. I have a passion for helping others reach their full potential and would love to help you during your process of achieving that.
My therapeutic style consists of collaboration between myself and my client. I believe I can learn as much from you as you can from me. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as well as aspects from Humanism, Relational, Positive Psychology, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also have quite a tendency to use humor. I have experience providing therapy across the lifespan, primarily with adults and children ages 14+. I enjoy working with individuals of all backgrounds, orientations, abilities, and struggles. I have experience working with those who are experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, those who are struggling to find their purpose, and neurodivergent individuals. I also have experience working with athletes and individuals with substance issues as well.
I received my B.A. in Psychology from Augsburg College, my M.S. in the Science of Psychology from Purdue Global University, and my PsyD in Counseling Psychology at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. I am under the supervision of Dr. Elise Frickey, PhD, LP.
