Hello, I am a doctorate level licensed psychologist in Edina, MN. I've been in private practice for more than 20 years but have been working with children and families for over 30 years. I work primarily with teens and college students/young adults as well as adults, families, and provide parent support. I am holistic in my approach, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral, mindfulness, psychoeducation, and integrative health approaches to improving emotional health. I think the most important part of initiating therapy is finding a therapist that you connect with and is a 'good fit'.

When working with kids with big emotions I use a child-centered play therapy approach.
As a therapist, I am passionate about working with LGBTQ+ young adults and teens to heal trauma, reduce anxiety, and navigate difficult relationships. I also love working with kids who express anger and worry in big ways. I use play therapy to reduce anxiety and regulate big emotions. I do not think symptoms appear out of nowhere. We are products of our upbringing, relationships, and even the Netflix shows we binge. I check my ego at the door to bring insight, creativity, and humor. I am both a neurodivergent and gender affirming provider and have received advanced training in play therapy and complex trauma.
