Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. As a psychology post-doctoral candidate, I believe in compassionately holding space for your life story—past, present, and future. Whether you're facing depression, anxiety, grief, identity concerns, life transitions, or something else entirely, my goal is to honor your whole self and support your journey of healing and growth.
I do this through a relational, collaborative approach rooted in insight-oriented work and evidence-based practices like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I believe in creating space to explore your needs while building practical skills to help navigate life’s twists and turns. Life is messy—and I’d be honored to walk alongside you in it.

My approach to therapy is person-centered, strengths-focused, flexible, and rooted in evidence-based practices. Each person’s experience with mental health is unique to them, with no two people experiencing events in the exact same way. This is why there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to therapy. I strive to work with clients to help them identify the goals that are important to them by co-creating a plan for how we can work together in therapy to help them accomplish those goals. Some areas of interest in my work include challenges associated with ADHD, women’s health, navigating changes in life stressors, chronic pain, and the impact each of these individual areas can have on each other.
I have spent the last ten years connecting people with information and resources to meet their needs. My education includes a special focus on adolescent development and community building. My previous experience includes working with Washington County’s Community Services’ prevention team diversion program and family resource center project. I also completed my clinical licensure requirements with Minnesota Community Care’s Health Start school-based clinic providing individual therapy to adolescent clients experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, and general phase of life stressors. I am a licensed graduate social worker in the state of Minnesota working under the supervision of a licensed independent clinical social worker.
Clients who may find me a good fit:
· Adolescents [over age 11]
· Young/new adults
· Experiencing change in life stage
· Women
· Parents

Therapeutic services include an individual personalized treatment plan with specific goals to help the client improve their daily functioning and interpersonal relationships.

By taking a neurocognitive and developmental approach to my work, I am able to help clients who have been diagnosed with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, OCD, Social Anxiety, and other mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders. Other concerns include major life events, self-esteem, automatic negative thoughts, parent coaching, emotional/behavioral regulation strategies, personal growth, executive function challenges, and processing trauma and other major stressors.
