I specialize in counseling gifted adults, therapists, health care workers, and anyone who feels as if they don’t fit in, including those dealing with trauma and seeking DBT after-care. My practice, located in Hamline Midway, Saint Paul, Minnesota, is trauma-informed. In our therapy sessions, we will use mindfulness and DBT skills to create stability. Together, we will process trauma, free up creative blocks, and develop self-love through techniques like Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and hypnosis. We will explore your values so that you can align your behaviors with them. I am passionate about supporting trans and non-binary individuals, as well as LGBTQIA+ folx. Each session is tailored to your current needs and ongoing goals. My main goal is to help you learn to love yourself, enabling you to feel resilient no matter what life brings your way and experience joy. You deserve it.
I also provide LPCC clinical supervision using the therapist as self model.
I believe that by reconnecting with your sense of self, people can heal. I provide counseling for adults who are dealing with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and major life changes. I enjoy working with artists and creative individuals in Saint Paul, helping them navigate the challenges that come with a creative life. I have extensive experience supporting people and families navigating psychosis. My approach is straightforward: You already have strengths worth building on. Rather than focusing on what's 'wrong,' we'll work together in therapy to help you regulate emotions, express yourself authentically, and feel more grounded in your daily life.
I draw from several approaches, but I'll always explain what we're doing and why. My style is structured yet approachable—trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and culturally responsive to diverse backgrounds and identities. I am trained in EMDR, evidence-based Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, and incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients access their core Self and heal wounded parts. I also integrate mindfulness and DBT skills to enhance emotion regulation and self-expression. My person-centered approach emphasizes your inherent strengths, fostering empowerment and authentic healing at your own pace.
I believe that healing is a gradual process that often unfolds when you can access your inner strengths. My goal in providing counseling is to create a supportive and collaborative therapeutic space where you feel safe and empowered to reconnect with yourself and heal.
I specialize in therapy for adult survivors of trauma and individuals navigating substance use challenges. Many of the clients I support are also dealing with PTSD, depression, anxiety, shame, attachment wounds, self-esteem, and interpersonal issues. I approach this important work with curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for your unique story.
My therapeutic style is flexible and tailored to meet your needs. I draw from Narrative Therapy to empower you to reshape your life story, Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you heal core wounds through self-compassion and self-love, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist you in examining and challenging beliefs that may be holding you back. Our work may include somatic practices to help you feel grounded and relaxed, aiding in the release of stored trauma. Together, we’ll discover what helps you feel more understood and more like yourself.
I welcome adults from all backgrounds and value creating an inclusive and affirming space, particularly for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent individuals.
Life can feel overwhelming when you are carrying the weight of past experiences, relationship challenges, anxiety, grief, or the pressure to keep everything together. Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, your relationship, or your family, you do not have to navigate these challenges alone.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, and relationship challenges. I am especially passionate about helping individuals heal from painful experiences, understand how family patterns and past relationships continue to shape the present, and create healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. I also enjoy helping couples strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection.
My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment Theory, Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness-based practices, and person-centered therapy. Together, we will explore the patterns and experiences that have shaped your life while building practical tools to help you move toward your goals.
I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel safe to explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change. I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and am committed to providing culturally responsive, inclusive, and affirming care.
