About My Clients
I am open to working with adults, individuals and couples, 18 years and older, but I have a special interest in working with: People in their 20s and 30s who are figuring out what it means to be an adult in today’s world and wanting to build a life that brings them joy. Couples looking to build relationships that work for them and not what societal expectations tell us a relationship should look like. Men looking to explore what healthy masculinity and emotional awareness means for them.
My Background and Approach
The most important factor in my therapeutic approach is the relationship we will build together. Our sessions will be collaborative and together we will shape each session to fit what you need that day. Whether it’s laughing, swearing, crying or sitting in silence, therapy is a space for you to find support during your hardest moments and celebration during your biggest joys. I will also pull from narrative therapy, parts work and feminist family therapy approaches during our work together. I am currently completing my Masters in Marriage & Family Therapy at University of Wisconsin-Stout and practice under the supervision of Tanya Brown, LMFT.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
The impact of cultural influences, social dynamics, and our political landscape isn't something we can leave at the door during therapy; these forces inform how we move through the world each day. As a white, cisgender woman, I understand the power I hold in this world. I am always open to conversations around power, privilege and identity and how those are showing up in our space in order for you to feel safe being your whole self. My love of people, relationships and stories is what drew me to this work after a career in marketing. Outside of work, I love reading all types of books, from fantasy to fan fiction, spending time with my dog, friends and family (the order changes, but my dog is always first), and exploring new restaurants, coffee shops and bookstores throughout the Twin Cities.
