How are you showing up in your life? How present are you able to be – with family and friends, in your job, and in relation to the rest of the world? If something seems to be missing in your life, therapy can be helpful. You deserve to have joy in your life.
I enjoy working with adults who are experiencing low mood, excessive worry, challenges with substance use, difficulties with adjusting to new life circumstances, and who want to better connect with themselves, their friends and loved ones, and the natural world.
My role as your therapist is to listen with empathy, to ask questions, and to support your efforts toward better connection – to help you activate (or reactivate) your innate capacity for wonder, positivity, and healing. Your role is to be open to shifting your perspectives and potentially changing some behaviors. Let’s explore how your daily life can better meet your needs and line up with what you value.
I use a client-centered approach to therapy, informed by mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, positive psychology, existential therapy, and motivational interviewing.
I received my Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from Hamline University and my Master’s degree in Integrated Behavioral Health from the University of Minnesota. I am dually licensed as both an LADC (Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor) and LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor).
