A little about me, to hopefully ease any anxiety or uncertainty you may feel about starting therapy — I’m human, too. My background began in social work - graduating in 2014 from NDSU/Minot State University. I received my masters degree from Colorado State University in 2018 and have been working in the therapy world ever since.
I have experience working in foster care, Sanford Health/medical settings, crisis centers and substance use facilities. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong focus on trauma, medical needs/chronic pain, and addiction. I also have a passion working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, OCD, stress, life transitions, and FARMERS - yes, I said it, farmers.
I was raised on a farm in rural ND. I saw the meaning of hard work and will always value the experiences I received growing up in a farming community, but I also witnessed a barrier to rural communities accessing the mental health services they needed. I support the local rural communities of ND and MN through telehealth services and in office visits.
Therapy, to me, is about connection, compassion, and growth — meeting you where you are and walking alongside you as you create the life you want and deserve!
