Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Saint Paul, MN

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.

We are all given a deck of cards that are not of our choosing. When it comes to therapy, I believe we can all play our cards to the best of our ability, when taught the skills needed to succeed. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I have been providing therapy for over 5 years. My specialties in the last 2 years have focused on individuals of all ages with OCD, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and BFRB's. I also have experience with time management, substance abuse, grief, career choices, and identity development.

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 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.
