Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counsellor (LPCC) based in Minnesota. I've been practicing as a Trauma Therapist for the last 6 years and am the owner of Abundant Light Counseling. I graduated with a Masters of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice, and an Associates Degree. I also have 14+ years of experience in the mental health realm outside of counseling. I've done crisis work both professionally and voluntarily.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start by introducing ourselves, then discuss specific challenges you would like to work through or improve. I always tell clients you are welcomed to share as much (or as little) detail as you feel most comfortable sharing at that time. As a trauma therapist, I understand some subjects may be more difficult than others and I invite clients to share as much as they want WHEN they want. We will always go at a pace that feels most comfortable for you as your physical and emotional safety is top priority. Of course, the more information I have the more helpful I can be when making recommendations and providing appropriate resources. The information you choose to share will help me create a customized care plan for following sessions to help us reach and maximize your desired results.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I'm trained in advanced trauma healing modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART(Accelerated Resolution Therapy) and integrate holistic and somatic based practices. I'm also trained in Energy Healing and identify as a Spiritual Therapist. I implement intuitive modalities during session and share channeled guidance when deemed therapeutically appropriate and necessary. I'm a therapist that believes in staying up to date with the latest research and also think outside the box.
