"To see with the eyes of another, to hear with the ears of another, to feel with the heart of another."


Alfred Adler

Welcome

Life is challenging, and sometimes we need a little extra support to overcome our obstacles. I help you navigate through life's ups and downs. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and work toward your goals. Treatment is for individuals, couples, and families.


Your Entire Journey is Supported

No matter what you're going through, your journey here is supported with respect, your goals are honored with careful guidance, and your counseling is a collaborative experience that celebrates you and your uniqueness, every step of the way.

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do."


Eleanor Roosevelt

I graduated from Augsburg College with a BA in Psychology and Studio Art Double Majors, and from Adler Graduate School with a MA in Adlerian Counseling and Psychotherapy, Clinical Counseling and Art Therapy. I am working toward LPCC in clinical counseling and ATR-BC in art therapy. My experience includes working with children and adults as individuals, couples, and families who have issues with stress, anxiety, depression, identity, relationships, trauma, grief and loss, developmental disabilities, and serious and persistent mental illness.


I have a passion for art and helping people get to know themselves better through the creative process which allows clarity, empowerment, and the authentic self to emerge. We all have a unique creative process that evolves. When we experience and realize our creative process, we are empowered, and experience fulfillment and joy that can be shared with others. Art therapy in session is a choice for clients, not a requirement.


Through an accepting and collaborative therapist-client relationship, I use a holistic approach to encourage and guide clients to find joy and hope while focusing on mind, body, and spirit to achieve wellness goals. Clients concentrate on self with authenticity that enables personal growth. I help clients focus on solutions and personal narratives, explore creative self-expression, and find peace and fulfillment. Clients learn ways to co-exist with others and community for an enriching, positive, and purposeful life.

"The feeling of being valuable is a cornerstone of self-discipline, because when you consider yourself valuable, you will take care of yourself-including things like using your time well. In this way, self-discipline is self-caring."


M. Scott Peck

"I am convinced that art can greatly enhance the analytic experience of insight. This is probably because art is both concrete and visual."
