I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I received a Bachelor of Science from the University of Minnesota, a Masters of Arts degree in Counseling and Psychological Services and a Post-Masters Certificate in Marriage and Family from Saint Mary’s University. I am a member of the EMDR International Association.

I have experience working in inpatient and outpatient counseling situations as well as providing in-home therapy. I draw from a wide range of resources to assist my clients in the healing process. Some of these are: psychodynamic therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), family systems theories, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and mindfulness. I am an EMDR (Emotional Desensitization and Reprocessing) Certified therapist. I utilize EMDR therapy with clients who request this or for whom I feel may benefit from it. I have a passion for the expressive arts and incorporate various art forms into my work. I enjoy integrating faith and spirituality into my work with clients who desire this.

In my leisure time, I enjoy spending time with my two boys and husband as well as my family and friends. I enjoy walking, reading, biking, and yoga, as well as a variety of creative activities, such as drawing and painting.

My desire is to work with you to help you create a life that works for you. Every person and situation is unique. I feel fortunate to be a witness to the stories of clients. No experience is wasted. Each experience holds possibilities.

• Abuse (Physical, Sexual, Emotional, Spiritual),

• Body Image
• Co-Dependency
