I am a cisgender multi-racial queer female, and my pronouns are she/her. I graduated with my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Minnesota State University, Mankato. I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in Alcohol and Drug Counseling. 


I bring a systemic, relational, harm-reduction, trauma informed, and somatic approach to every session. Whether working with individuals or relationships, I focus on the interconnectedness of clients’ experiences and identities and collaborate with folx to highlight and broaden their existing strengths. 


I work on concerns related to significant life transitions, trauma, chronic pain, mood and anxiety disorders, self-esteem, neurodivergence, boundaries and relational concerns, gender dysphoria, gender and sexuality exploration and substance abuse. I value showing up authentically and recognize it is an integral part of the therapeutic alliance. I hope to cocreate a welcoming and affirming space where you also feel encouraged and empowered to bring your authentic self. 


In my free time I enjoy taking my two golden retrievers for long walks with my wife, reading, binge watching Netflix and eating pasta.

I received my master’s degree in art therapy from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I have clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in hospitals, in-clinic, and outpatient settings. I support clients in a holistic approach, encompassing the entire individual with a practice including an elective approach, to meet the client where they are at. I also have a range of trauma interventions and encourage clients to utilize coping skills that can change their lives in a positive way. 


I take great effort in guiding clients in discovering their strengths to modify their thinking and behaviors in order to live more satisfying and productive lives.


I am a jewelry designer, who enjoys the water and doing activities on a lake or ocean. I also like assisting others in their creative endeavors and talents.
