Hello! I’m an LICSW practicing in Minnesota! I received my MSW at the University of North Dakota. I have an extensive background with the treatment of serious mental illness including suicidality and chronic mental health diagnosis. I have worked in community mental health and clinic based settings and I’m looking forward to getting to know you and developing a tailored plan for treatment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will begin by introducing ourselves and I’ll learn more about what you plan to achieve during our time together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am client centered and motivated to help you develop a plan to feeling better!

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using CBT to treat individuals with a variety of difficulties for 10 years. This modality of treatment is straightforward, providing education and a skill to assist individuals in reducing problematic symptoms.
Motivational Interviewing
I have been using motivational interviewing for 12 years. This method is so wonderful as it works closely with the person to review areas for change and finds intrinsic motivations within the individual to make changes.
