I’m so glad you found your way here. Life and relationships can be complicated, and you don’t have to navigate them alone. My office is a place to show up just as you are—no judgment, no pressure—so we can work together on finding more balance, connection, and peace.

About Me

I believe that healing happens in the context of relationships—both the relationship we have with ourselves and the ones we share with others. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I take a relationship-focused approach to help individuals and couples explore how their connections shape their sense of self, their well-being, and their capacity for growth.

I draw on training in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Circle of Security, blending these approaches to create a supportive, practical, and deeply relational therapy experience. I am also certified in Prepare/Enrich for pre-marital and relationship counseling, offering tools that foster stronger, healthier partnerships.

My style is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. Together, we’ll look at the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, identify the strengths you already have, and work toward building more authentic, connected relationships. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, body image struggles, or relationship conflict, my goal is to help you move beyond survival into resilience, compassion, and a secure sense of self.

I am committed to creating an inclusive and safe space for all. I strive to be an ally to BIPoC and LGBTQIA+ communities and continue doing my own personal work around dismantling biases related to race, body image, sex, gender, and spirituality. I want every client who walks through my door to feel seen, valued, and supported.

Life can be messy, overwhelming, and sometimes incredibly heavy. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to do it alone. My role isn't to "fix" you—because you aren't broken. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and reconnect with the life you want to live. Think of me as a guide with a flashlight—and maybe a well-timed sarcastic comment when it's therapeutically appropriate.

I believe healing happens through connection. Using an attachment-based, relational approach, we'll explore how your experiences have shaped the way you see yourself and others while building new patterns that support growth and healing. Therapy isn't about having all the answers—it's about creating a space where you feel safe enough to ask the questions, be fully yourself, and occasionally laugh through the tears.

When life feels too dark to find your way, let me hold a light until you're ready to carry it yourself. Nothing is too far gone, too overwhelming, or too broken to begin moving forward. Even the smallest step counts—and yes, sometimes simply showing up is the victory.

My style is compassionate, intuitive, and direct. I'll celebrate your wins, gently call you out when you're getting in your own way, and probably laugh with you along the journey. Humor has a way of helping us breathe when life feels heavy, and I firmly believe therapy can be both meaningful and enjoyable. You might cry during a session—but there's a good chance you'll laugh too.

I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Exposure Therapy, Attachment-Based and Relational Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), always tailoring treatment to your unique goals and needs.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Minnesota State University, Mankato and am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward." Wherever you are today, we'll keep moving forward—together.

As a therapist my approach to practice is client-centered, focusing on empowering others to make positive changes in their lives. I employ a variety of therapeutic techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, warm acceptance, and active listening. I treat individual adults and children with a variety of mental health needs including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, adjustments, stress, and social/communication struggles.

My experience in mental health includes providing individual and group psychotherapy, Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services, Children’s Therapeutic Services and Supports, and volunteering/interning with substance abuse and mental health treatment courts. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree at the University of Minnesota-Duluth with a double major in sociology and criminology along with a minor in psychology. I hold a Master of Social Work Degree from the University of St. Thomas/St. Catherine University and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker.

As a therapist, I am here to walk with you as you work towards achieving your goals and living your best life. I utilize a humanistic/client centered and empowerment approach in my practice. I value the therapeutic relationship; trust and comfort are very important for that, which is why my style involves being authentic, genuine, accepting, utilizing humor, and being non-judgmental towards you and/or your family. I feel these all can assist in connection, trust, and the overall healing and change process. I believe that you know yourself best and you also have the strengths inside to get towards your goals; I want to join with you and assist with bringing those out and making them stronger.

I use a trauma informed and domestic violence informed lens in my practice. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in psychology from Winona State University and a Master’s degree in Social Work from Augsburg College in Minneapolis, MN. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) from Behavioral Tech, a Linehan Institute Training Company. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Interpersonal Violence from the University of Cincinnati Corrections Institute. My experience involves working with ages 6 years old - older adults, providing individual, family, and group psychotherapy, and Children’s Therapeutic Services and Supports (CTSS). I use a wide variety of interventions throughout services in order to distinguish what will fit your needs best. I am passionate about working with all ages (6 years old - older adults), individuals and families, survivors of domestic or interpersonal violence, and those experiencing anxiety, depression, or adjustment to changes in life.

As a therapist, my goal is to build a strong therapeutic relationship with children and their families in order to be able to work together to create change, acquire stabilization, and gain new coping skills. I use an eclectic therapeutic approach and diverse lens when treating and evaluating individuals and their family systems. My training and skill set draws from psycho-dynamic theory, attachment-based work, relationship-based approaches, play therapy techniques, developmental perspective, and trauma informed. I am trained in Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) which is a specialized trauma focused therapeutic approach for helping young children ages 0 through 6 years old process traumatic experiences. I am also certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a treatment to help individuals process distressing memories and emotions using bilateral stimulation. EMDR is a treatment that can be used with children, adolescents, and adults.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Family Life Child Development and a master’s degree in Social Work both obtained from Minnesota State University, Mankato. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW). I have worked in the mental health field since 2010. My mental health experiences vary between developing an early childhood day treatment program, providing individual and family therapy, working with foster care providers, and supervising clinical staff. I have worked with individuals who have experienced symptoms of anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, autism, and depression. I specialize in working with the early childhood population (birth through the age of 6 years old) and their caregivers.

I am passionate about supporting individuals and families of all ages, from early childhood to adulthood. With specialized training in working with young children (birth to age 6) and their caregivers, I address the unique challenges that arise during these formative years. My experience includes collaborating with clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and significant life changes. My goal is to help you uncover your strengths and achieve your personal objectives.

I hold a master's degree in social work from Winona State University and am a licensed clinical social worker. Utilizing a diverse range of therapeutic interventions, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs.  My training and skill set draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, evidence-based approach, attachment-based work, play therapy techniques, and trauma-informed care.   I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you in your journey.

As a dedicated clinical social worker, I have had the privilege of working at the intersection of compassion and expertise in the field of mental health and social well-being. With 5+ years of experience in the mental health field, my journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges, find resilience in adversity, and embark on a path towards healing and personal growth.

Throughout my career, I have witnessed the transformative power of therapy and support for children, adults, students, and families, through several positions. These positions included being a Mental Health Practitioner, a School-Linked Mental Health Therapist, and also being a Clinical Director for a community-based mental health organization. I am excited to share my experiences and insights and to serve the community in this role as a therapist at Full Circle Counseling and Wellness.

I’m excited to begin working in outpatient therapy after 16 years of working in public education. Throughout my career, I’ve developed a deep passion for helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges and build healthier, more connected relationships.

My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion and honest communication, always offered with grace and understanding. I believe in creating a trusting relationship first, where you feel safe, seen, and supported. I’ll work with you to identify stressors, explore available supports, and develop practical tools to help you manage life’s ups and downs.

I work with individuals across the lifespan—children, adolescents, and adults—while also engaging with the family system to support deeper healing, connection, and growth. Whether you’re facing a specific life event or feeling overwhelmed by everyday stress, my goal is to walk alongside you and offer direct, empathetic guidance tailored to your needs.

I also bring a Christian faith background into my practice and am happy to incorporate faith into our work together if that’s something you’re looking for. It’s always optional and will only be included if it aligns with your beliefs and values.

I truly look forward to working together and supporting you on your journey. Healing, growth, and a stronger sense of well-being are all possible—one step at a time.

The best whitewater rafting guides won't spend a lot of time wondering how you fell out of the boat while you're in the water. Instead, they will help you assess the situation and work with you to guide you toward the place you want to be. That's how I see my work as a therapist. 

It can be challenging to recognize available assets when you're experiencing crisis, stressed, struggling in a relationship, or feeling stuck. My approach is relationship-oriented, humor-infused, and solution-focused as we team up to figure out what will be helpful for you to get where you want to be. If you're not sure where that is, we can figure that out together, too. 

I hold a Bachelor Degree in Religious Studies from Wittenberg University, a Master of Divinity from Luther Seminary, and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Bethel Seminary. I work with individuals (adults and teenagers), families, and couples. I am also a certified Prepare-Enrich counselor for folks who would like to pursue pre-marital counseling. 

I'm a Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Winona State University. I believe that our past experiences shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world, but they don't have to define our future. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, relationship challenges, codependency, and generational patterns. My goal is to help clients understand where these patterns come from, regulate emotions with greater confidence, and make changes that feel authentic and lasting. I strive to create a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where every part of your story is welcome.

At the heart of my work is the belief in radical hope - the idea that healing and transformation are possible even in the face of deep pain, generational wounds, or circumstances that may feel impossible to change. I hold hope for my clients when they struggle to hold it for themselves, trusting in their capacity to heal, grow, and move toward a life that feels more connected and authentic.

My experience includes community-based programs, residential care, and outpatient mental health, where I've worked with individuals facing mental health concerns, disabilities, neurodivergence, housing instability, and other systemic barriers. No matter the setting, my approach remains the same: to meet people with curiosity, compassion, and the belief that meaningful change is possible.

As a clinical social work intern and neurofeedback provider, my goal is to partner with you to create meaningful change. I aim to provide a safe, healing, and empowering environment where you can work through your struggles, understand yourself on a deeper level, and learn new coping strategies. My approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and non-judgmental, and I lead with empathy and humor. Along with talk therapy, I specialize in neurofeedback therapy.

I understand most people haven't heard of neurofeedback, or they have misconceptions about what it is. I am here to clear up the confusion and make sure you understand how it works, how it can help you, and how we partner together to make sure you are receiving the best care.

I have a strong passion for mental health, and I understand what may work for one person, may not work for another. The brain is complex and wonderful and it's even able to heal itself! We create new pathways in our brain and different ways of thinking all the time. Neurofeedback training also encourages this to happen, but in a way that helps the brain work more efficiently and helps alleviate negative symptoms that are getting in the way of you being your best self.

I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in psychology with additional training from the Stens Academy in Neurofeedback Therapy. I also hold a Master's in Social Work degree from Walden University.
