Bio

I approach therapy as a team effort. I want to walk beside you to help you process challenging situations.  I use humor, a laid-back perspective, and honesty, knowing that we all have areas of struggle and we are in this together. 

 

I love working with teenagers, young adults, couples, women, and children over the age of 8. I am a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator and love helping couples prepare for marriage. 

I approach therapy as a team effort. I want to walk beside you to help you process challenging situations.  I use humor, a laid back perspective, and honesty, knowing that we all have areas of struggle and we are in this together. 

Areas of interest include adolescent formation and young adult growth and development, spiritual issues, religious trauma, spiritual growth, anxiety, depression, family systems, parenting, communication, life transitions, emotional regulation, and infertility and postpartum struggles. I want to address not only the issue at hand but also the underlying root of the challenge. I would love to work with you to help you embrace life’s challenges and process through them, rather than fight them.

I am a mom of 4 so I understand the balancing act that life can be and love to talk about boundaries and maintaining a happy marriage in the midst of stress and chaos! Some things I enjoy include watching my kids play sports, being on the lake, summer in Minnesota, fall in Minnesota, and even winter in Minnesota, great coffee, anything outside, and the State Fair!
