About me
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Minnesota and have provided individual and group psychotherapy for nearly 13 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance abuse issues, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and trauma related difficulties including working with people who have suffered from various forms of abuse.
My therapy style interactive and reflective. I believe in treating people with respect and compassion. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and person centered therapy. Together we will work together to create a treatment plan that will help decrease negative mental symptoms and increase healthy coping strategies.
It takes courage to ask for help and put yourself in a vulnerable position that may be uncomfortable while working through your struggles. I am here to help you through the process of becoming a happier, healthier you.
I look forward to working with you!
