I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Minnesota and have provided individual and group psychotherapy for nearly 13 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance abuse issues, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and trauma related difficulties including working with people who have suffered from various forms of abuse.
My therapy style interactive and reflective. I believe in treating people with respect and compassion. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and person centered therapy. Together we will work together to create a treatment plan that will help decrease negative mental symptoms and increase healthy coping strategies.
It takes courage to ask for help and put yourself in a vulnerable position that may be uncomfortable while working through your struggles. I am here to help you through the process of becoming a happier, healthier you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
