My style is relational and collaborative, with a focus on empowering you to express the most genuine, actualized version of yourself. Integrating cognitive, emotional, somatic (brainspotting, sensorimotor) strategies maximizes your ability to heal your wounds and live a fully engaged life. At times, we have the option of taking therapy outdoors, using movement and connection with nature to support your healing goals.

With 20 years of clinical experience working with diverse individuals in Minnesota, California, and Oregon, I have found that your experience in therapy will be most helpful when you connect with the right therapist for you. In our first session, we will work together to assess fit and maximize the likelihood of getting you the support and results you need.

Issues addressed may include: depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, climate distress, gender identity, relationship concerns, sexuality, identity development, chronic illness, and life transitions.  I have extensive experience working with transgender and LGBQ+ communities and appreciate working with people of color, immigrants, refugees, people with disabilities, people of all sizes, and others marginalized by the mainstream.

As engaging in therapy is a powerful and vulnerable endeavor, it may be helpful to know a bit about me. I am both a therapist and a human and in my free time enjoy spending time outdoors, often chasing my tireless dogs and chattering child through a local park; mountain biking, hiking, and swimming. I love the rich Minnesota arts scene and connect well with artists working on their mental health. On my own journey, I have benefited from working with many healers and look forward to supporting you with your journey.
