About my practice

I offer a nonjudgmental space where I will walk beside you every step of the way as you find a path forward. I believe our past experiences live in our bodies, and I’m interested in how those experiences continue to show up in our lives and our relationships, and how we can interrupt patterns that no longer serve us. I work with people who want to explore new ways of relating to themselves and the people they care about. I especially love working with women, non-binary, and gender expansive folks who are self-identified over-thinkers. I often work with people who are creative, curious, and self-reflective, who care about justice and equity in the world, and who want to live a meaningful life. I often help people get back into alignment with what matters to them to create a more enjoyable and fulfilling life.

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and I also have advanced training in Compassionate Communication (NVC). Before becoming a therapist I worked in the arts for fifteen years. I’ve had a personal mindfulness practice for over a decade, which informs how I show up as a therapist, and I often integrate trauma-informed mindfulness practices into my work with clients. I hold an M.S. from the University of Wisconsin, Stout, and a B.A. from Reed College in Portland, OR.

I am a licensed therapist (LMFT) in the state of Minnesota.
