Life can sometimes be difficult and surprising. There are ebbs and flows. The seasons of our life hold challenges, new issues arise, and we are sometimes confused. Perhaps what we seek is a new question. That question might lead to new answers and strategies for navigating through the present challenge. I’m a counselor with over 20 years of experience and specialized trainings. I’ve become familiar with the variety and depth of our human circumstances and encounters. I hold a conviction and personal view that every person’s trials and perceptions are their truth and that they present an opportunity for growth. What is true for you, your reality, is our starting point toward achieving goals. Counseling is a tool that helps us get current with our life. In the partnering of counselor and client, I utilize a holistic focus that validates your experience, finds the wisdom that makes the most sense in your challenge, and gives you a place to be seen and accepted without a need to be other than your true self. With my ease of listening with empathy and intuition, and my ability to guide through the background noise and chaos of life events, your life story and the innate wisdom it holds will unfold so you can develop strategies that are in your highest and best interests.

I am licensed in Minnesota and Wisconsin with 17 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & parenting issues. In addition to working with generalized anxiety, stress, depression, etc, I specialize in working with neurodiversity (asd, adhd, gifted, 2e, etc), trauma, and recovery from narcissistic abuse. Within my practice I generally utilize an eclectic approach, rooted in acceptance and commitment therapy, to meet people where they are while also gently encouraging them toward continued growth and wellness. I am also trained as an EMDR therapist, which is an effective therapy to heal from traumatic experiences and shift unhelpful beliefs. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing & listening to music, podcasting, writing, hiking, traveling, and playing table-top games. My relational life, as a therapist and otherwise, is guided by the principles of compassion and curiosity. I know we all are doing the best we can and my goal is always to increase compassion, curiously discover what is keeping us from having the life we dream of, and build tools and mindsets to help us move closer to that life. I give you a lot of credit for reaching out and moving closer toward wellness! I look forward to meeting you and determining if we're a good fit to work together!

As a mental health counselor, I believe in the utmost dignity and worth of an individual. My primary responsibility is to continually increase my knowledge of human behavior with the intent of fully understanding my clients so that I can always serve in their best interests. I'm a Clinical Mental Health Counselor licensed in Georgia with over 7 years of working within Grief and Loss, Unhealthy Relationships, Depression, Trauma Based and Spirituality counseling. My previous career experience includes working within Suicide Prevention, Wellness Coaching and Family Readiness for Civilian and Government organizations. I worked in Mental Health with Military Families Overseas and Veterans via the Crisis Line. My practicum and internship were within community and individual emergency response planning for a local Non Profit Organization. In addition to this, I served on their domestic violence and sexual abuse response teams in 3 different state counties. My counseling sessions are intricately designed to assist one with positive behavioral change by developing one’s self within multiple levels; spiritual, emotional, intellectual, interpersonal, social, economic, and physical. As a mental health counselor, I do not condone or engage in any discrimination based on age, color, culture, disability, ethnic group, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, marital status or socioeconomic status. I will actively attempt to understand any diverse cultural backgrounds of the clients with whom I work. When there is a conflict between your goals, identity and/or values and those of the mine, a referral to another provider may be placed so that I can ensure that your best interests are being provided for. Change is hard and continuous, therefore if at any time you feel uncomfortable, or dissatisfied with the current treatment or technique, please readily and consistently confide within me. While pursuing ongoing mental health educational opportunities and services, I make every reasonable effort to protect the welfare of my clients. Counseling is a mutual effort, with both parties devotedly learning from one another. You have the freedom to choose whether to enter into this counseling relationship, decline treatment and treatment options or to withdraw from my counseling services at any time. I don't use just one therapeutic technique. It's my belief that there are 7.6 billion people in the world; To use one approach on multiple people would hinder a person's opportunity to foster growth. Therefore, some of my most common approaches include but are not limited to CBT, Schema therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Positive Psychology, Energy Psychology, Solutions Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, DBT and Reality Therapy, Existential Therapy and Gestalt Therapy. Counseling requires a very active effort on your part. For therapy to be more successful, it is important for you to work on things you and I talk about both during and between session. This session is about you, utterly and completely. As with such, we can’t be friends and must keep our relationship strictly professional. This is to offer you the best care, and so that I can provide judgment that is unselfish and purely focused on your needs. If at any time you feel I’m not performing in an ethical or professional manger, I ask that you please let me know immediately. Counseling sessions may entail assignments that include physical activity. If you have any medical conditions, or physical limitations, if you have any concerns about your ability to exercise, if you are currently pregnant or are over the age of 69, you should consult your medical healthcare provider before undergoing counseling services. Your role includes sharing accurate medical and contact information with me and letting me know if any information changes. I look forward to helping you on your path to positivity and wellness. Please call 24 hours in advance if you need to reschedule your appointment. Thank you. I look forward to working with your on your path to wellness.
