I help people make courageous choices so they can live life to the fullest.
We all "should" on ourselves all of the time. I "should" be happy, I "should" be grateful, I "should" be fulfilled. Now I'm not saying you shouldn't, but if you are trying to convince yourself of a certain feeling, that's obviously not how you feel - at least not all of you. What else is in there? Is there a small voice inside you wanting more or different? How about an idea you keep coming back to but you continue to talk yourself out of it?
I get it. Change is hard. It's risky. But isn't it worth a shot at a great reward?
Who do you REALLY want to be? What do you REALLY want to do?
I am passionate about helping others recognize their strengths and values, stand up for themselves and what they believe in, and live as authentically as possible.

Personal Information
I am a Minnesota native, and I love this state. I enjoy being outdoors exploring new natural areas. I also find nature good for my soul. I love animals and recongize the value they can bring to our life! I went in to counseling psychology due to seeing family members struggle in getting adequate care as I was growing up. I strive to make a difference, even if it's only in the lives of my clients.
Qualifications
I obtained my PhD in Counseling Psychology and I have been seeing clients for over 10 years.

Specialties & Issues

- relationship wellness and boundaries
- LGBTQ concerns
- career satisfaction and proper work-life balance
Other topics are not off the table, though. Please schedule a free phone consult with me if you would like to see if we are a good fit.

Approach
I am active in session, demonstrating directness and transparency in my work. I will push you to feel, challenge you to think, and give you honest feedback because I believe that people come to therapy to get a different experience than what they get in their outside life. People who have worked with me describe me as conversational, energetic, and accepting.
