We are in unprecedented times in our lives. We might feel stuck and that traditional ways we have used to relieve stress are no longer working. You might feel you need a place you feel like you are understood. My approach to therapy is in developing true connection as well as holding a non-judgmental space for all I work with. I aim to help those who feel stuck or lost begin the process of healing and self-discovery. I know that sometimes life is messy and can make us feel crazy, abnormal or damaged. I want everyone I work with to realize their true worth and that they are beautiful and resilient humans. I hold a masters degree in Social Work from the University of North Dakota. I have spent my career providing therapy services in homes, school settings as well as traditional office therapy. I have also worked in the child welfare system. I have many years of experience working with individuals and their families. I work well with people who seek relationships, connection and a touch of humor in therapy. I very much believe that the client and therapist relationship is important and value a client centered and relational approach. I enjoy working with those in the LGBTQ+ communities, those who have been adopted, highly sensitive individuals and really anyone who is working on issues of identity and finding oneself. I consider myself sex positive and welcome anyone into therapy with me. I also enjoy working with anyone experiencing anxiety or depression. I use a trauma informed approach in my work. I use somatic approaches to treat trauma and truly believe in a mind and body connection. I refer often to AIR Network. I also use approaches of polyvagal theory, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in treatment. I provide clients with a safe environment to engage, process and work to explore concerns and find their true authentic self. In my free time, I enjoys spending time with my family as well as cooking, taking walks and I have a small obsession with podcasts and coloring my hair.
