Are you navigating life's challenges and seeking a therapist who truly understands? Whether you're dealing with anxiety, burdened by trauma, or simply trying to find your place in the world, I'm here to help. I specialize in working with teens and young adults, offering a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings. My approach is relaxed, empathetic, and adaptable to your unique needs.

I specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma or verbal, emotional, physical or sexual abuse in their families or close relationships. Particularly when abuse happens earlier in life or over a long period, those suffering may develop various symptoms including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, self harm, substance use, and anger issues. I view symptoms as ways of coping that have helped you survive so far. We collaborate in therapy to help you find new ways to relate to yourself and others, and create a more meaningful and satisfying life, however that might look for you.

I am an experienced Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in ND. I have been a licensed counselor since 2015 with inpatient, community agency, and college campus clinical experiences. I have worked with individuals and families across the lifespan with a variety of presenting concerns. I specialize in relational growth, self-concept, identity development, and life transitions.

Part of our living experience are the challenges we face as we learn and grow as individuals, within our families, and communities. These challenges, and at times struggles, can be the precursors to new opportunities and personal growth. From our most difficult experiences emerges strength we did not know we possessed, talents, and abilities which we did not know we embodied. I know you have all within you which you need to change, acquire, and become that which you are seeking. The privilege of my professional work is to aid in the full discovery of your strengths, talents, and capabilities.

Congratulations on taking that first step towards building the life you want! Whether it is depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction or any number of the countless things that keep us from living our best lives, searching for someone to help partner with you on that journey towards healing is an important first step. I know it can be overwhelming to find a provider; there are so many choices, and if you have never been in counseling before, you don't know what to expect, what to ask, or even what to look for to help you find that person that can help you become "you" again. Relax...you're here...and that's an awesome start!

An ideal client would be someone who has possibly done some therapy work in the past, and still feels stuck in the area of relationships, addictions, trauma, grief or loss or someone who has never been to therapy previously. There are many places to get stuck in life, I find it interesting to find ways out of that place.

Life Improvement with Hypnosis for release of excess anxiety, anger, sleep problems, unwanted behaviors, and addictions such as smoking and drinking.

This Mind Work can be done in conjunction with your doctor to assist body healing. Holistic approach.

Welcome to my profile! I am honored to take this moment to share a bit about my counseling approach and philosophy of helping. I believe that individuals have within themselves the power and tools to improve the quality of their lives. I am passionate about providing a welcoming place to assist individuals in becoming more aware of what they want and need, the choices they have in life, and their own potential to heal. I view counseling as a collaborative process of building on the strengths and assets of clients and promote these to maximize life satisfaction and healthy living.

Today is your day! This is your time to make the changes you've been putting off! You've been fighting...wrestling. It's time to take control. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma-related anxiety or grief, low self-esteem, or domestic violence/abuse or relationship issues, now is the time to apply pressure to those areas of your life that are keeping you from achieving success and fulfillment.

I help couples in conflict and those who want to develop their relationship into a stronger alliance. Conflict affects us all in many ways. Mostly, I work with individuals, couples and groups to understand the impact of confusion, upset and misunderstanding on our relationships. Sometimes depression and anxiety are overwhelming and that causes lots of problems in our ability to make our life work. I hear from clients that they felt better after our session because they were able to talk through a problem and understand the situation better.

I have over twenty years of experience working with children, adolescents, college students, families, and couples to find ways to deal with the issues life throws at them. If you are reading this, you have taken the first step towards an improved lifestyle. Each person has her/his own perspective and is treated as an individually and unique person. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, behavior issues, PTSD, and problems related to adjusting to specific life issues. I will treat you with respect and dignity in a confidential setting. The relationship you have with your therapist is of utmost importance.

I have 25 years of experience seeing individuals and couples. I love my work as it allows me to follow my passion of helping people find meaning and master whatever challenges they face with care and compassion. I have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, relationship issues, emotional eating, and self-worth. I offer groups for mindfulness, emotional overeating, and anxiety/depression. I have found mindfulness to be an important life skill for people. It is particularly helpful in dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression. With this skill we can all learn to quiet our busy minds and handle emotions more effectively.

Are you feeling stuck in your relationship & unsure of what to do? Have you been hurt by infidelity, or feel like you and your partner are growing apart? Are you feeling overwhelmed, alone, lost or broken? Are worries constantly running through your head & you just can’t “turn it off”? Life is full of difficult transitions. Relationships end, children leave the nest, jobs are lost, important people in our lives pass away. It can leave you with just enough energy to put on a brave face and “fake” it through the day. But what if life could be different?

Increased life satisfaction and healthier relationships are the most common goals for the people that reach out for counseling with me. I've been a counselor for 15 years seeing adults for a variety of concerns that accompany anxiety, life stress, painful life experiences, loss, depression, transition, trauma, communication challenges, and relationship concerns. I'm a Certified EMDR Therapist and I frequently use EMDR therapy with my clients.

Dealing with overwhelming stress is terrible. How many times have you “not made the smart choice” to cope with anxiety, stress or sadness? How often do you say to yourself “I hate feelings”? Do you often think “what is wrong with me, I know that was a terrible idea. I don’t even know what I was thinking?”. Maybe you even wonder if you are beyond helping, or that you have no idea where to start. Well, you might not be able to change things happening in your life, but you can change how you adapt and view those stressors.

I have extensive experience working with early developmental trauma, difficulties with parent-child attachment, anxiety, significant life changes, and mood disorders. I am a Registered Play Therapist and trained in Family Attachment Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR with a focus on children. My goal is that you feel listened to and we find the most effective way to help your family. Whether that's by developing new parenting strategies, improving the parent-child relationship, or individual sessions where I meet with your child, we will figure out what's best for you.

I believe each individual has their own story to embrace, and that by having the right therapeutic support and understanding, an empowered and fulfilled lifestyle can be achieved. I view change and personal growth as an ever-evolving process, and believe that when we begin to understand ourselves and our emotional experiences, true wellness and meaningful change can emerge. I greatly value connecting with each of my clients, and strive to elicit strength, compassion, and healing in our work together.
