I am a dual Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Alcohol and Drug Counselor in Minnesota with 11 years of counseling experience and 41 years of working with those experiencing a co-occurring mental health and chemical health disorder simultaneously. I have worked with groups and individuals experiencing a vast range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, psychosis, impulsivity, substance use and trauma. My clinical and volunteer work has been in residential, home-based and intensive outpatient settings.

My approach combines a person-centered, trauma-informed framework, embracing one size does not fit all. I incorporate the modalities of mindfulness based stress reduction, meditation, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy.

I am a 3rd generation Minnesotan (Ya you bet). Having been born, raised and continuing to work in our great, unique Northern culture has afforded me an unparalleled connection and access to community resources.
Our first appointment is more of a meet and greet, so no need to be nervous. I will provide a couple skills that have been shown to provide immediate improvement when practiced. We will also need to complete an initial assessment along with processing a couple goals you would like to work on going forward, creating a treatment plan to help us get started.
Even with my year's of experience and education, I believe you are the expert on yourself. I view my role as helping empower you to process the past and thrive in spite of it in a safe, non-judgmental space. I've been told and feel I have a genuine passion for helping and witnessing people heal and grow, meeting them where they are, and going as far as they're capable of at the time. Though I'm new to this platform, I have 5 years of telehealth experience on a different platform. Out of 1120 responses I received and maintained a 4.9 - 5.0 rating from those I worked with based on our individual sessions.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Having done extensive research and training with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I have found DBT skills to be some of the most simple, effective skills a person can utilize to change the one thing we have control over, our response to life's circumstances. I have witnessed it have an immediate impact on overall well-being and relationships from the very first use of the skills. Regular use of DBT skills have been clinically proven to help with anxiety, depression, addiction when practiced on a regular basis. Many of those I work with express wishing they had learned the skills a long time ago.

Bobby is the kind of person that unintentionally keeps you feeling warm with a smile on your face throughout the whole session.

Bobby always has a great way of turning my negative feeling about something into a positive conversation about reflection and true self learning. I feel comfortable opening up about topics I’m too shy to really share with my closest of loved ones and Bobby never makes me feel ashamed of myself. He truly is a great fit, especially for someone struggling with self doubt, and esteem.

We’re only done with meeting 1, but Bobby was fantastic. He helped calm my nerves, and set me up for our next meeting with tips to stay calmed down. Would absolutely recommend Bobby to a friend.
