I am originally from Minneapolis, MN and graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Master’s degree in Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a mission to create a safe, therapeutic, non-judgmental environment where individuals can feel empowered to self-reflect on their past and present, and to make changes towards a happy and meaningful life. I encourage all my clients to learn about themselves to foster change and improve their overall wellbeing. I am committed to making a positive impact on the lives of individuals that need support to overcome self-doubt and negative thinking.

I have experience working with individuals, groups, families, and couples navigating everyday life stressors and transitions. I specialize in treating mood disorders including depression and bipolar, anxiety, personality disorders, emotion dysregulation, relationship issues, anger, grief, low self-esteem, identity issues, and other stress-related disorders. I am skilled in a variety of evidence-based modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and mindfulness through a holistic approach. I enjoy working with individuals from diverse populations including members of the LGBTQIA+ community and have an interest working with those experiencing chronic and terminal illness.

Starting therapy can be intimidating and finding the right fit matters greatly. I believe healing begins in the relationship between a therapist and patient through mutual trust and the creation of a safe environment where one can open and honest. I am committed to meeting individuals wherever they are in their journey, and vow to treat everyone with care and respect. If I am your therapist, I will strive to connect with you on a personal level as we work together at a pace that feels comfortable. My goal for you is always to work through life’s challenges by leveraging your inner strengths and resilience.
