As a licensed therapist in Minnesota, I bring two decades of compassionate mental health experience to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate transitions, emotional struggles, and personal growth—with specialized expertise in depression, self-esteem, career difficulties, and adapting to significant life changes.
I offer a warm, supportive approach for individuals experiencing diverse challenges, including women's issues, caregiver stress, chronic health conditions, young adult transitions, and relationship dynamics. My therapeutic style emphasizes self-love, effective communication, and healing from experiences of isolation, guilt, and shame.
My commitment is to create a nurturing environment where clients can explore their inner landscape, develop resilience, and rediscover their sense of purpose. Whether you're confronting midlife transitions, managing addiction, addressing family dynamics, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
