Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Minnesota with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I am currently pursuing my Doctorate of Social Work at Capella University, having earned my master’s degree from the University of North Dakota. Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of clients and have addressed various life concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, PTSD, phobias, OCD, and ADHD. I also have extensive experience in supporting individuals struggling with self-injury and suicidal thoughts.
I am particularly passionate about assisting introverts and those seeking to better understand their introverted friends or partners. Additionally, I provide support to caregivers of children—whether biological, adoptive, or foster—who face mental health or behavioral challenges.
My counseling style is warm, calm, and interactive. I firmly believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, avoiding stigmatizing labels. My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and client-centered techniques, tailoring each treatment plan to the unique needs of the client.
Taking the first step towards becoming the best version of yourself is crucial. We all experience moments when we feel misunderstood, directionless, or overwhelmed by stress. I am here to support you on this journey.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, research and practice indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can meet with their therapist in the format that fits their life, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or other commitments.
Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients are free to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many people, the convenience and accessibility of online therapy make it a practical option for obtaining consistent, professional mental health support.
