Are you or a loved one thinking about making a change to your drinking or substance use? I can help. Some of my clients have been in and out of rehab many times and were looking for an alternative-someone with deep expertise who can provide a new way of looking at their problem and identify a pathway out of their suffering. Still other clients came to me because they did not feel that they needed something as intensive as rehab and wanted to work on their substance use while still taking care of their career, family, home and other obligations. I would be honored to be of assistance.

I help my clients by helping them to understand themselves better. In the process, they are able to find ways to be happier, more effective, and better able to solve their problems. I am comfortable with a number of approaches to therapy. Regardless of the specific approach, I help by providing keys to self-knowledge, warmth, respect, and honesty. I'm able to listen to things that are hard to talk about, tell you things that are hard to hear, and build hope in the process.

You've probably been told to "think positive". You've heard you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. You've heard you should smile more and stop dwelling on the past, or calm down and stop worrying about the future. You've tried your best, but it seems like no one can tell you how to actually do these things. You yearn to live a full, rich, and meaningful life, to feel good at what you do, to belong in community, to love and be loved— but all of this seems like it has to wait until you've solved your current problems. Here's my radical suggestion: you already have what you need to thrive. And I'd like to help you discover it.

I offer an open ear that has gone through many of the same things my client's have.
I have experience working with a very diverse set of individuals over the course of my career in the mental health field. Most individuals I work with struggle with issues that are considered dual diagnosis, or individuals that struggle with both mental health and substance use issues. I have experience working with all different ages, ethnicities, sexual orientation, mental health issues, and substance use preferences. I also come from a lens of years of lived experiences and being able to offer a lens of "coming out the other side." I provide an empathetic atmosphere that is goal orientated, and comes from an unbiased lens.

I work from an emotion regulation framework, that many of the difficulties people face stem from ineffective regulation of their emotions.
If you have struggled to find effective therapy and regulate your emotions I may be the therapist for you. I have a strong passion for intersectionality, trauma, minority experience, and people underserved or poorly served by our mental health systems. I am most interested working with folks at one of the intersections of LGBTQIA+ identity, neurodivergence, and trauma providing respectful, culturally humble and non-judgmental care.

I've worked with a myriad of clients and patients over the 27-year course of my social work career. I went back to grad school in 2015 to pursue my MSW and completed that in 2018 and my journey to become a therapist continues. I love working in a small private practice setting and the environment has nurtured my creativity and curiosity as a therapist which has allowed me to bring my own flare to the scope of my practice. I have an affinity for BIPOC communities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma throughout their lifetime. I'm poly-and-other-relationship-types friendly.

In addition to CBT, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful approach for those struggling with trauma and trauma-related disorders through daily functional disruptions manifesting depression, anxiety, insomnia, and interpersonal relationships.
My passion lies in understanding how trauma shapes our lives and using evidence-based techniques to help individuals heal and thrive. With a foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I offer a specialized focus on how trauma impacts our mental and emotional well-being. Through CBT, I work collaboratively with clients to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that stem from past experiences. I am licensed in Minnesota and can practice in various U.S. states through the PSYPACT mobility.

Family members of people with problematic relationships to substances - Men navigating their relationships to masculinity - Men’s counseling - Sex/Intimacy Related Issues - White folks unlearning racist ideas and behaviors - Survivors of Childhood trauma - Parenthood/Caregiver stress - Career/Work Related Issues - Conflict Avoidance/Conflict Management.
I believe that knowing and naming the ways our identities and lived experiences impact the ways we are or are not getting our needs met is essential. Three of my most important values are justice, kindness, and creativity. A focus on justice tells me that we can and should close gaps that hurt us and the people we care about. A focus on kindness guides me in holding onto the truth without using shame as a driver for change. And creativity is how I remember that there are always multiple ways to move towards goals.

Ever felt that it’s overwhelming to try and fit the pieces of your life together? Maybe you’ve been working on the puzzle for a while but the picture isn’t matching the one on the box, or life knocked the puzzle off the table and left you to pick up the pieces, or you’ve used all the pieces but the picture isn’t complete. When this happens, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or ill-prepared for the ups and downs of daily life. Wherever you are wanting to feel more put together, it can be frustrating and exhausting to keep trying when your efforts aren’t having the impact you would want.
