About My Clients
I work with adolescents, adults, and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, and complex relationship issues. Whether you are facing challenging life transitions, communication problems, or the fog of depression, I offer a collaborative, strengths-based approach. I build on the knowledge and skills you already possess. I am kind yet direct, challenging unhealthy patterns to help you become your happiest, healthiest self.
My Background and Approach
I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Minnesota since 2011, with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. My background is diverse, having worked in community clinics, school systems, correctional facilities, and hospitalization programs. This breadth of experience allows me to effectively help clients through PTSD, family conflict, relationship challenges, and many other struggles. I primarily utilize aspects of Bowen Family Systems, attachment theory, and narrative therapy to tailor treatment to your needs. I am also trained in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and am an approved clinical supervisor. My own non-traditional career path taught me that experience gained through trial and error is invaluable. I bring this perspective to our sessions, using my expertise not to dictate your path, but to collaborate with you. My goal is to use my training to help you build confidence, creativity, and resilience in your own life.
