Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Duluth, MN

I've worked as a therapist for over 20 years. It is such an honor to be invited into people's vulnerable and hopeless places in their story. Through our work together I get to watch them learn, grow and overcome their obstacles to living well. It is such beautiful work!

I love working with clients who want to integrate their faith into the therapy process.

As a board certified and licensed clinical professional counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to stability in life. Seeking help can be a hard initial step and I am glad you are here. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, grief and relationship problems.

I am a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor, perpetually curious about your stories and perspectives. I specialize in treating individuals who are experiencing depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, and have a history of relational trauma. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, body positive, trauma sensitive, culturally sensitive, sex-positive, and mindful of neurodivergencies and abilities.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

I am a therapist who believes healing happens through clarity, compassion, and action. My approach is grounded in neuroscience, which means we do not just talk about your patterns. We learn how your brain created them and how to rewire them in real time.

You can expect a nonjudgmental space where your experience is truly seen and understood. I am warm, straightforward, and collaborative. We move at a pace that feels safe but also meaningful, with practical tools you can use outside of session to create real change in your daily life.

I work with teens, young adults, individuals, couples, and families who feel stuck in old loops such as anxiety, overthinking, people pleasing, emotional overwhelm, and relationship patterns and are ready for something different. I help you understand your nervous system, build emotional regulation, and learn how to respond instead of react.

Most importantly, I am here to help you get unstuck and move toward a life that feels more aligned, grounded, and genuinely yours.

I am a licensed professional counselor in multiple states, with experience working with both juvenile and adult mental health populations. I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, dual diagnosis concerns, and challenges related to the criminal justice system.

Most recently, I worked as a therapist in a rural community mental health program, providing counseling to individuals with diverse needs. Before that, I served as the Clinical Supervisor of an addiction medicine program, where I led a team of clinicians and certified peer and recovery specialists while supporting an onsite clinic that provided medications for substance use disorders. Alongside these roles, I have also operated my own independent private counseling practice since 2016, offering personalized support to clients in my hometown and across the states where I am licensed.

Beyond my work as a therapist, I have enjoyed engaging with the community through training, outreach, and education. I have provided presentations and workshops to various organizations on topics such as substance use disorder, integrating peer services into community programs, mental health awareness, and reducing stigma.

I earned my Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and my Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Forensic Psychology from Mercyhurst College. I am licensed in both Minnesota and Pennsylvania and am credentialed with the National Board for Certified Counselors. Additionally, I have completed specialized training in the treatment of anxiety disorders.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and our family. We enjoy traveling—especially when it means discovering hidden gems off the beaten path. I also like cooking, attending local festivals, tackling home improvement projects, and cheering on my kids in their extracurricular activities.
