I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Minnesota (LPCC #4571) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC #1736771). I hold a master’s degree in counseling psychology from the University of Saint Thomas. My approach to psychotherapy draws primarily from contemporary psychoanalytic theory as well as existential and humanistic approaches. I use an empathic, relationship-based approach to tailor our therapy process to your unique needs, circumstances, and goals. My approach is to listen with you for the deeper underlying story of how your life and patterns of being have developed, both for what is said and what is left unsaid.

I work with adults from a diverse set of backgrounds who face a variety of life challenges. I find that my approach is well-suited for people who are struggling with repetitive patterns in their relationships, those struggling with longstanding depression and anxiety, and those who have a deep interest in knowing themselves better and understanding the circumstances in which they grew up. I particularly find it meaningful to work with men who are struggling with issues of intimacy in their relationships, people who are artists, writers, performers, and other creative types, and with members of the LGBTQ+ community.
