Walking through life in an increasingly challenging world can leave us feeling out of touch with ourselves, bending to who we think we “should” be, and unsure of who we want to be. I work with my clients to help them embrace their natural curiosity, explore the patterns/behaviors that feel incongruous with their values, challenge the negative self-talk that holds them back, and help them to engage more fully in the joy that life can hold.

I aim to help my clients develop a deeper and more compassionate relationship with themselves, to have a more fulfilling relationships with those around them, and to live in authentic alignment with their core personal values. Together, we will collaborate in a therapeutic relationship that is built on empathy, curiosity, trust, honesty, and respect. I will bring my influences of existential, attachment and humanistic theories while flexing to your holistic needs (mind, body, spirit). Together, we will foster your inner wisdom, which will empower you to find meaning in your experiences, create goals, and confront the barriers to change that have been holding you back.

I believe that you are the expert of you and place importance on learning your story and how things like gender, race, faith, health, and sexual orientation have shaped your world. Taking the step to be willing to share your story is one of the most courageous and self-loving decisions you can make, and one that I hold in deep admiration. Daily life stressors can take a toll on all of us – and I’m here to collaborate with you and hold space for what you need most in the moment. Whether it is for practical solutions for daily living frustrations, or deeper soul work, I bring my curiosity, compassion, and humor to our time together.  

When not at work, I enjoy spending time outside in my garden, exercising, traveling, concerts, binge-watching HBO shows, and maintaining a complicated relationship with being a passionate Minnesota sports fan. My happy place is being on the lake or near water and spending time with my husband and fur-baby, Mina, our hilariously adorable rescue dog.
