ABOUT ME:
I am an LPCC candidate in the counseling psychology program at the University of St. Mary’s in Minneapolis. I view psychotherapy as a partnership where together we explore your unique thoughts, feelings, habits and struggles; finding solutions together that work for you.
My approach focuses on understanding the deeper patterns and experiences that influence how you see yourself and move through the world. We will examine closely the situation into which you were born. And consider what you had to adapt yourself to in order to survive. With this thorough understanding of the past, we can then find ways to make changes in the present. Only by having empathy for what shaped us are we able to make lasting changes in those parts of ourselves that are no longer helping us.
As a Queer therapist, I care deeply about helping other Queer folks thrive, including providing gender-affirming care -- but I also work with people from all walks of life. No matter who you are, if you’ve ever felt like an outsider, I’m here to create a space where you feel seen and supported.
I also have experience with those encountering grief/loss, self-esteem issues, and relationship difficulties. In a world that is growing increasingly complex and uncertain, I aim to provide a space outside of the noise where your concerns are treated with respect, attention and care.
BACKGROUND:
I earned my undergraduate degree in music therapy from Augsburg University in 2021. My background in music therapy informs my work, emphasizing creativity, self-expression, and connection.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in community mental health, supporting individuals with complex needs, as well as the developmentally disabled community—experiences that shaped my values and approach to therapy.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, playing guitar, collecting vinyl, hiking, and reading. I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered on their journey.
