Therapist

Virtual • Minnesota


As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC), I bring over 15 years of experience supporting individuals through significant life challenges and personal transformation. My background includes working in crisis mental health, emergency department settings, substance use treatment, and behavioral health, giving me a deep understanding of how mental health impacts every aspect of wellness.

My practice specializes in supporting individuals who are on a transformation journey, whether that involves weight loss surgery, GLP-1 medications, recovery from emotional eating patterns, improving self-esteem, managing anxiety or depression, or creating sustainable lifestyle changes. Major physical changes often bring unexpected emotional challenges, and many people find they need support adjusting to their “new normal.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! Book a FREE 15-minute consult today! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) & Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) with over 17 years of experience in mental health. My work is rooted in compassion, practicality, and a belief that therapy should be an empowering journey—not a lifelong commitment. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and seniors who experience ADHD, chronic illness & mind-body disconnect. I also integrate mental health and nutrition into my approach and provide grief-informed care.

I want you to know that therapy is a safe space where you can be yourself. There’s no judgment here—just a commitment to helping you feel more in control of your life and well-being.

I want clients to know that I bring both clinical training and lived experience to the work we do together. As a therapist and a new mother, I understand how deeply transformative—and at times overwhelming—pregnancy and motherhood can be. My approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based practice. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and free to explore your thoughts, emotions, and needs without judgment.

I value collaboration, honesty, and meeting you exactly where you are. I believe growth happens when we feel safe, heard, and guided with intention. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, clarify what truly matters, and build a life that feels aligned with your values—both as a mother and as an individual.
