I have been employed in behavioral health for 16 years and a counselor & therapist working in the addiction and mental health field since 2009. I approach all my clients with compassion and validation, since we are all a result of our environment, developmental experiences and genetic dynamics. For most people, current problematic behaviors were adaptive at one point and may now cause problems or fail to serve a useful purpose. With this premise, I am able to help people have compassion for themselves, improve their relationships, regulate emotions and alter behavior patterns.
I received my Masters degree at the University of St. Thomas & College of St. Catherine joint program. I completed my undergraduate degree in psychology at Augsburg College and additional undergraduate training in addiction at the University of Minnesota. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety and women's mental health issues.
I utilize EMDR and primarily operate from a psychodynamic perspective identifying underlying behavioral patterns that impact development, thinking and emotional states. I am also a member of the Society for Psychoanalytic Studies.
