Education & Experience

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I received my undergraduate degree in social work from North Central University in MN and my masters degree in social work from St. Catherine University/University of St. Thomas joint program. I have 9 years of experience working in both medical and mental health settings. My therapeutic approach integrates a variety of interventions dependent on where a Client is at and what their needs are. I believe that everyone encompasses the inner strength and resiliency that is needed for healing, and I am here as a guide to help you tap into those resources. I hold that the therapeutic relationship between myself and a Client is the most important part of effective therapy. I strive ensure a Client feels supported, accepted, and safe. I am passionate about the use of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and somatic experiencing techniques. I believe that the mind-body connection is highly important for holistic healing. I also incorporate aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused therapy, and crisis intervention.

Professional & Volunteer Affiliations

I am a board approved supervisor for those seeking clinical or non-clinical social work licensure in Minnesota. I also work as an on-call qualified mental health practitioner for a crisis center.
