Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Champlin, MN

About My Clients

I help women healing from sexual assault, domestic violence, and interpersonal trauma rebuild safety, boundaries, and self-trust. Trauma can leave you anxious, disconnected, or questioning your faith. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and paced to feel steady—not overwhelming. For those who desire it, I integrate faith in a way that honors your story and autonomy. Licensed in MN, WI, and FL for virtual therapy.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) serving women in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida. I specialize in sexual assault, domestic violence, and interpersonal trauma, with advanced training in trauma-informed care. I integrate EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based work, and somatic/nervous-system-focused approaches to help reduce anxiety, process traumatic memories safely, and rebuild self-trust. My work focuses on helping you understand how trauma lives in both the mind and body so healing feels steady—not overwhelming. I prioritize pacing, consent, and collaboration so you feel safe and empowered throughout the process. For those who desire it, I also offer faith-sensitive integration. My goal is to help you strengthen boundaries, reconnect with your voice, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My work is rooted in the belief that every person carries inherent dignity, worth, and the capacity for healing. As a Christian, my faith shapes how I view people — with compassion, humility, and deep respect for their story. I believe God is near to the brokenhearted, and that healing often begins in spaces where safety, truth, and grace coexist. I am passionate about supporting women who have experienced sexual assault, domestic violence, and relational trauma. I believe abuse thrives in silence, and I am committed to creating spaces where survivors are heard, believed, and empowered. While my faith informs my values, I never impose it. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, and for those who desire it, I offer faith-sensitive integration that honors autonomy and personal beliefs. I value justice, healthy boundaries, and helping women reclaim their voice and agency after trauma.
