Currently accepting new clients
I believe therapy works best when it meets you where you are. Sometimes you want to dive into the deeper stuff, and sometimes you just need help figuring out what to do next. Both are welcome here. My approach is flexible, collaborative, and rooted in curiosity. I want our sessions to feel insightful and useful, but most importantly, safe. And when it feels appropriate, I’m not afraid to bring a little humor into the room, too. Therapy can be hard work, but it doesn’t always have to feel so heavy.
I work with adults and couples and enjoy working with people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. I strive to create a culturally responsive and affirming space where you can bring your whole self to therapy. With individuals, I have a particular interest in helping professionals navigate burnout, workplace dynamics, boundaries, and the unique challenges that can come with caring for others while trying to care for yourself. I also enjoy working with clients with ADHD, anxiety, OCD, and those navigating life transitions or relationship challenges. With couples, I focus on creating a space where both partners can feel heard and understood while working toward better communication, connection, and understanding.
I incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) when it feels like a good fit. I love the curiosity and compassion IFS brings to understanding the different parts of ourselves and why we respond to things the way we do.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, watching sports, reading, and trying new foods and restaurants. I also love styling and decorating homes and am always on the lookout for a great vintage or antique find.
I earned my master’s degree in Counseling and Psychological Services from St. Mary’s University of Minnesota and am currently working toward LPCC licensure under the licensed supervision of Krista Jorgenson, MA, LPCC.
