Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I have been practicing as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker for over 11 years, practicing in clinical setting for nearly 15years. I am licensed in Minnesota and North Dakota. My experience during that time has been varied. I have practiced as a Employee Assistance therapist whereby my primary practice model was Solution Focused therapy and a fair amount of couples counseling. I’ve also worked in a community mental health capacity conducting primarily individual therapy but also running a groups. I utilized several approach’s including CBT, solution focused, narrative, and focus on chemical dependency issues (including co-dependency). Additional areas of focus included depression, anxiety, personality disorders, SPMI, chemical dependency, and criminal court concerns. I’ve also conducted therapy exclusively for military personnel, helping with the unique challengers presented to that population. I garnered significant experience helping folks overcome depression, anxiety, stress/trauma, and overall adjustment to life change.
I have a years experience (September 2021 to August 2022) conducting online therapy via primarily telephone, as well as via video.
I am currently working with military personnel in a non medical, solution focused (basically, EAP) capacity for military personnel as a primary practice
I approach therapy from the perspective of everyone can do better than their current circumstance. We cannot control life’s problems, we can however, garner the courage to seek help to overcome these problems and improve ourselves. I enjoy assisting people in doing so and finding their “ah-hah” moments in life’s journey. The therapeutic alliance is paramount in helping a patient achieve their overall goals and also to enhance the therapists overall ability to help the patient grow and develop.
I look forward to the opportunity of helping you determine and achieve your goals in your journey of achieving improved mental heath.

For many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adapting to life changes – online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person treatment. This makes virtual care a practical option for a wide range of challenges.
One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that best fits their needs and schedule – whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That variety helps therapy fit into busy lives.
Each therapist available through these services is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different match would be better. Online formats can make it easier to begin and continue therapy while maintaining the same professional standards as face-to-face care.
