I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Minnesota. I have a Master's Degree in Professional Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University. I am an Approved Supervisor by the MN Board of Marriage and Family Therapy as well as an Approved Supervisor for Registered Play Therapy and am also a Registered Play Therapist and a Certified PREPARE/ENRICH Counselor.  I am certified to use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

Aside from the letters behind my name, I am a therapist who believes in the connection between body, mind, and spirit, and these are things I explore with my clients to help them find balance. I am grounded in IFS (Internal Family Systems Theory) and EMDR, but take an eclectic approach to meet the individual needs of each of my clients based on where they are at on their own journey. I believe you are the expert in you - and that I am merely a guide to help you explore and uncover that expert within yourself. My training and professional experience is broad. My professional and personal experiences have given me perspective into the trauma we encounter in our world. These experiences have deepened my sense of empathy and my understanding that everyone’s journey is completely different - even if we experience seemingly the same trauma. Your story is your truth. My job is to help you tell your story, to find your truths, to heal wounds, and to create the most fulfilling, balanced life possible. I am honored to be on this journey with you.

I am passionate about developing new therapists to continue this important work, so often I have an intern who will join our sessions.
