College can be exciting, but also really stressful. Between classes, deadlines, friendships, and figuring out what's next, it's easy to feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself. Therapy offers a safe place to talk openly about what you're going through, whether that's stress, relationships, identity or just the pressure of trying to balance it all. My approach is supportive, approachable, and geared toward helping you find clarity, build coping skills, and feel more grounded as you navigate college life.

I specialize in ADHD and Autism, as well as enjoy helping people navigate issues related to anxiety and depression. I believe that Resilience is a skill we can learn, and it is what is going to help us make it through whatever challenges life may throw our way. In my previous career I was a medic in the US Army, so if your experiences involve the military, emergency medicine, or moving around a lot, I get it. I have 7 kids and went to college at 40, so if you are a non traditional student, I get it. Lets talk about it!

I know that balancing school, work, and a social life is a lot to handle, and sometimes "powering through" just isn't enough. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota, I help college students and adults (16+) navigate these high-stress years. Since I work exclusively via telehealth, you can skip the commute and meet with me from the privacy of your own space. How I Help I specialize in working with people managing Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, ADHD, and Autism, as well as Personality Disorders. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I use a mix of tools to help you find what actually works for your life: CBT: To help you catch and change the negative thought loops that keep you stuck. DBT: To give you "in-the-moment" skills for handling big emotions and stressful situations. ACT: To help you stay present and make choices based on what actually matters to you. What to Expect In our sessions, you can expect a real, down-to-earth conversation. There’s no need to "perform" or have all the answers. Whether you are struggling to get things done, healing from past experiences, or just trying to keep your head above water, we’ll work as a team. My goal is to help you feel more in control and give you practical tools so that daily life feels a lot more manageable.

I bring rawness, curiosity, and a touch of angst to our sessions. I specialize in short-term, high-impact trauma treatments (like CPT, ART, and WET) because I believe therapy should give you concrete, life-changing skills in weeks or months, not keep you sitting on a couch for years. I also specialize in teens and adults seeking neurodivergent-affirming ADHD and Autism assessments. My ideal clients are those who learn best by doing, appreciate structure, and want a therapist who truly understands the intersection of trauma and neurodivergence.

Our approach is informed primarily by psychodynamic principles. The emphasis is on creating a safe, supportive environment in which to explore and develop insights into underlying feelings and thoughts. Together we will uncover deeply held assumptions that, although may have been useful at one time, today reinforce ways of coping in the world that are no longer effective or relevant. Through guidance in therapy, a person learns that there are a range of options for solving problems that previously were unknown, felt out of reach, or were avoided due to an internal conflict.

Are you in emotional pain? Do you feel stuck? Has it been awhile since you felt like yourself? Do you feel disconnected from others and perhaps even yourself? Are you in need of support as you navigate a challenging life circumstance? If so, we should talk. I specialize in helping young adults figure out why they feel the way they do and what needs to change to live a more authentic, connected, and meaningful life. For 14 years I have worked alongside diverse undergraduate and graduate students at university mental health clinics, and I would be honored to work with you. I will help you to slow down and lean into your full range of emotions, especially the uncomfortable ones you are so good at avoiding. Together we will examine ways your past is connected to your present, identify problematic relationship patterns, and figure out how you want to start applying these insights to your life. This style of therapy goes beyond symptom reduction and heals underlying problems in a way that leads to long-lasting change. It is often an intense and challenging process, but I will be there to support and guide you as we explore the terrain of your inner life. And rest assured, there will be plenty of moments of lightness and laughter along the way! I work especially well with clients who are motivated to improve their relationships with themselves and others. In addition to providing individual psychotherapy I have a passion for offering interpersonal process groups. In these groups 6-8 people come together on a weekly basis to support and challenge one another. I am a Certified Group Psychotherapist and over my career I have led over 60 of these groups. Many clients have found that group therapy was able to accelerate their healing and growth in a way that individual therapy alone did not. Clients of all identities and backgrounds are welcome in my practice. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Think I might be a good fit?

To people looking in from the outside, your life looks pretty great. On the inside, though? You’re replaying a conversation from last week on repeat, wondering what they thought of you and whether you should or shouldn’t have said this or that. You often overthink or overanalyze decisions to the point where you feel paralyzed in making a choice at all. Imagine a life where you… - No longer feel controlled by your thoughts - Can celebrate your imperfections - Feel confident making decisions & expressing your point of view - Are driven by your true passions & values I specialize in working with clients who are craving a sense of freedom in their lives. They’re tired of feeling defined by their anxiety or like no one in their life can really understand what they’re going through. My clients are willing to get vulnerable and embrace their imperfections (even when it’s uncomfortable) in order to make a difference in their life and their world. My approach to therapy is direct, honest, and driven by methods that actually work. I want to help you identify what’s truly important to you, confront your fears, and create change in your life.

I have a track record of helping people address a wide array of concerns, helping to create the satisfaction and meaning in life that you yearn for. The clients I work best with are those that struggle with confidence, anxiety, depression or adapting to new expectations in the college setting. I also work successfully with those with less than ideal upbringings. For example, as a first generation college student myself, I have worked successfully with those making this journey. Additionally, I have helped people identify and recover from traumatic experiences, bullying and similar. I have assisted those working with ADHD create the plans and routines that drive greater success. I also help the people I work with to develop confident, clear and assertive communication that aids their relationships and overall quality of life.

Trauma, chronic illness(es), and eating disorders are intense, unique experiences that can change the way we think, respond, and prepare for day-to-day activities. It can also change the way our body functions on a basic level. I strive to provide a comfortable environment where everyone can explore traumas, create coping skills, and gain self-confidence. It is within a safe, comforting environment that people have the potential to create meaningful change in their lives.
