For over five years, I've worked extensively with individuals experiencing OCD and anxiety in a variety of care settings. I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD.

If you or your child has been through something painful, it can show up in ways that are hard to explain: anxiety that won't turn off, mood swings, shutting down, conflict at home, or feeling on edge even when life looks fine.

I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with more than 3 years of clinical experience, certified in both EMDR and DBT, and I grew up in the same Minnesota community I now serve.

I am a marriage and family therapist, trained in child psychology at the University of Minnesota and in marriage and family therapy at Argosy University, and I have spent years in that chair. Here is what that might mean on a Tuesday night: You lie awake running the same conversation for the fourth time. You are the one your family calls when something breaks, and nobody calls to ask how you are. You carry your parents' silence about what they survived, and you carry the version of yourself you show at Sunday dinner. There are so many ways our mental health and upbringing can influence the comfort you feel navigating the day to day world, and my role is to help you move through barriers that prevent you from finding that peace you deserve.
