My goal is to create a comfortable, trusting space in which you feel safe and validated. I strive to educate, equip, and empower my clients.

My approach to therapy is gentle and compassion driven. Trauma based therapy requires trust and safety to address the sensitive topics ahead. Likewise, couples or marital therapy must focus on empathy, listening, and learning in order to grow.

Often clients are stuck in similar patterns that replay over and over again, despite the desire for change. We will address the wounds, traumas, or disconnections that have created these patterns, creating a chance for legitimate, long term change.

With a background in inpatient mental health, crisis intervention, addiction treatment centers, and outpatient therapy, I've become comfortable with intense situations. I want to work with people who desire change but need some help getting there.

The brokenness in individuals and families is evident in our world. My mission in life is to heal some of that pain and prevent it passing along.

I offer a calm environment that is within easy access to the southwest suburbs of the Twin Cities. Telehealth appointments are an easy alternative.

My primary specialties include trauma treatment with EMDR and Gottman therapy for couples, both evidence based practices that have demonstrated efficacy in their respective categories.
