About My Clients

Many people I work with are wanting a place to process challenges in their life. I typically work with people who are experiencing difficult thoughts, feelings, and circumstances. My Clients tend to appreciate having a safe space to better understand what is causing them to think, feel and act in unwanted ways, as well as open to learning coping skills to help them navigate life stressors.

My Background and Approach

I strive to be supportive and nonjudgmental in working with people on the challenges they are facing. My approach to therapy is to work collaboratively with people, and explore both insights into the topics they discuss, and coping skills that may be helpful for them. While I like to be eclectic in theoretical approaches, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment therapy often. I enjoy helping people find ways to increase awareness and mindfulness in their life, and to take action steps based on what is important to them. My goal is to have a therapy style that is kind, comfortable, and personable. I want the people I work with to have a safe space, and to feel free to talk about anything they would like. I invite you to reach out to me if you would like to schedule an appointment or have any questions. Take care.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

When I am not working with people in therapy sessions, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, laughing, playing pick up basketball, and doing my very best to be a positive MN sports fan.
