I bring a wealth of life experience and a compassionate heart to my work as a marriage and family therapy graduate student at Capella University. I believe that everyone deserves a supportive guide during challenging times, and I am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life's transitions with grace and resilience.
At the heart of my practice is a collaborative spirit. I meet you where you are, honor your story, and work with you to identify your goals for therapy. By thoughtfully integrating approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS) to understand inner dynamics, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to foster psychological flexibility, and Solution-Focused techniques to build on your strengths, I help create a tailored path forward.
I welcome a wide range of clients, from children and teens to adults and couples. It is my privilege to offer a safe and nurturing space for those healing from trauma, supporting you as you reclaim your sense of safety and self.
