I believe it takes courage to begin the process of change. With that spirit, I try to embody the African Proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” I believe we can all heal, change and grow, particularly when we have support and love in the process. I feel deeply honored to walk arm in arm in therapy with the clients I see. In both my therapeutic work and personally, I value humor, compassion, and sincerity. The therapist you choose is someone whom you’ve entrusted to build a safe and healing relationship.

With compassion and an open heart and mind, I invite you on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Using a holistic approach to wellness, we will assess all areas of your life - mind, body, heart, spirit - and determine if these feel integrated and fulfilling and reflect your true nature. While exploring, honoring, and releasing patterns that no longer serve and treating unresolved trauma, you will naturally reconnect with your true self and life will begin to unfold in the most beautiful ways.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing issues related to sex, traditional gender roles, desire, grief, and self image to support you in building the life you want. Couples/partners may struggle with communication related to sex, desire discrepancy, or unhelpful relationship dynamics. Individuals may wish to explore their sexual identity, process grief and loss, unpack past traumas or family patterns that cause distress in present relationships, create new expressions of masculinity or femininity, or learn how to prioritize pleasure.

I specialize in treating symptoms of anxiety, OCD, and issues of adjustment. I particularly enjoy working with young adults and early-career professionals due to the many life changes that often occur in these life stages, which therapy could support them in navigating. I also enjoy working with clients from immigrant and BIPOC communities who are navigating issues of identity or adjustment that are interfering with their mental health.

I believe that therapy is not an easy process to begin or to say with over time. I have been a therapist for over 20 years and before that worked for 12 years as an alcohol and drug counselor. I work from a cognitive behavioral therapy perspective and believe that people come to therapy because they have tried every solution they know to make there life better. I believe therapy works best in an atmosphere of respect and trust, that people come to therapy because they want to make there life better in some way.

I am a licensed clinician in MN and OR. I provide a safe, respectful, nonjudgmental setting to explore and discover solutions to diverse challenges. A critical element of therapy is the development of a trusting relationship between the client and therapist and can impact the healing process. Healing is a unique and individual process, as such, I believe it is important to learn of the uniqueness of each client and their goals for therapy.

I work with adults facing a variety of challenges who desire to make meaningful changes in the ways they understand and work with emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. I draw from psychodynamic and existential perspectives and use an empathic, relationship-based approach to tailor our therapy process to your unique needs, circumstances, and goals. By looking together intensively at the historic roots of problems, insights can develop into ways that old solutions get perpetuated in the present and new possibilities for more satisfying ways of being can emerge.
