I am a trauma-informed therapist, meaning I pay attention to ways that traumatic experiences big and small may impact your brain, body, emotions, and thoughts. I am trained in Brainspotting, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), three effective and evidence-based trauma treatments. I may suggest and incorporate these in our work together, as needed.

I love working with people who are in school, contemplating a career change, or otherwise figuring out their professional path. I have several years of experience working in university mental health and enjoy working with students, especially those preparing for graduate and professional fields.

I also offer psychological testing/evaluation for academic and career concerns, including ADHD, learning and mental health disorders, and giftedness. Testing can help uncover the root of academic/career struggles and provide concrete strategies for improving performance and satisfaction in daily life.

I am a former faculty member at the University of Minnesota and have trained and supervised counselors and psychologists for the bulk of my career. Currently, I am a board-approved individual supervisor for therapists seeking LPCC or LP licensure in Minnesota. I also provide group supervision for pre-licensed clinicians at a reduced fee.
