About me

I believe healing is not a destination — it's a direction.

Many of the people I work with have felt stuck—unable to move forward the way they'd hoped, or unsure how to pursue the life they want. I'm here to help with that pursuit, whether you're looking for the why or the how. I work with clients across all ages and stages of life. I came to this work because hope matters, even when it feels out of reach. Together, we'll uncover the hope you may have lost along the way. Your worldview shapes every session, every tool, and every space we create together.

Using evidence-based methods, I help you notice the patterns that keep you stuck, and we challenge them with compassion, not judgment. Through mindfulness, I guide you back to the present moment, where real healing happens. If trauma is part of your story, we move at your pace, always in a way that feels empowering.

Reaching out for help is one of the most courageous things a person can do. I don't take that lightly. Whatever brings you here — trauma, grief, anxiety, family conflict, or simply the feeling that something needs to change — you deserve support that meets you exactly where you are. I am honored that you would consider trusting me with that.

How I'll Help You

You already have more strength than you know. My role is to walk alongside you as you uncover the resilience, insight, and capacity for change that already live within you.

Using evidence-based methods, I help you recognize the patterns of thoughts and gently challenge them with compassion and curiosity, not judgment. Through mindfulness practices, I help you come home to the present moment, where real healing becomes possible. When trauma is part of your story, I move at your pace. Trauma-informed therapy means I will never push you into territory you aren't ready for. Safety comes first — always. We build trust before we build anything else.

For families and teens, I offer a space where every voice is heard. I believe that when families heal together, individuals heal more deeply — and that young people deserve a therapist who speaks to them honestly and with respect.

I am licensed to practice clinical social work in Minnesota (#16592), North Dakota (#5798), and Texas (#60361 - supervisor designation). I practice via telehealth only. I have been using video sessions since 2014. I have an online "play room" and also vitual therapy rooms that mimic the in person experience and are live 24/7. 

I am a brainspotting practitioner. This is a processing intervention that works with your brain and body together. I have seen this specific intervention work well at opening doors for great personal and professional growth in the people I work with and continue to learn more about the neurobiological aspects of wellness. 

I am a clinical supervisor for those seeking to take the clinical exam in social work. My philosophy of supervision is one where reflective practices drive the learning process while grounded in evidence within our field. I work with supervisees to not only look at their practice but strive to be the best clinical social worker they can. This often includes reviewing theoretical basis for interventions, case studies, and a development of a the supervisees practice philosophy with an emphasis in cultural competence.
