I am passionate about empowering clients to find their strengths that they may simply have forgotten they have. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Minnesota Board Approved Supervisor , I have been fortunate to work with many different adults and couples over the last 12 years. I pride myself on showing up in session the same as I would if you ran into me in the community-authentic and true to who I am!
I understand that although the challenges we face in our everyday lives may be similar to one another, our uniqueness is what makes us exciting and sometimes we need a little help in understanding ourselves and each other. I provide a nonjudgemental atmosphere for all to experience and feel secure in. I believe that my clients have the most valuable insight into their own lives and with my help they may be able to effectively navigate the struggles they are facing.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, empathetic, attentive, and understanding. And of course we need humor too! I am eclectic in the modalities I utilize and am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy. I work with those experiencing many different things including but not limited to life transitions, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, career transitions, divorce, work stress just to name a few.
When I am not seeing clients you can find me talking hockey, relaxing on a patio, foraging for mushrooms-just taking photos of them, and taking my 3.9 pound Yorkie, Winston, on as many hikes as possible-just because he is extra tiny doesn’t mean he can’t hike with the big guys!!
