Hi! I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) (Professional Mental Health Therapist) based in Minnesota. I received my Masters from Walden University, a psychology degree from Brandman University and have been practicing in mental health for almost 8 years. I am passionate about wellness & offering a holistic, strengths-based approach to therapy and to customize sessions to meet each individuals needs. My goal is to provide a safe, relaxing space for clients to help them reach their goals. My approach is compassionate and solution focused unless a client needs to address past issues or past core beliefs we need to address before moving on to solution, strength-based goals. I previously worked as an in-home skills & therapy practitioner for adults and kids, a clinical supervisor/assessor at an autism center, a clinical supervisor for in-home programs, and as a case manager for the counties.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is a diagnostic assessment, and this is to get to know you better, and for you to get to know me. It is a time to ask questions and let me know what your goals and needs are.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Since I have been through mental health issues and trauma myself, as well as some close family and friends of mine, I feel I can really relate to clients on a deeper level and provide a safe, warm, calming space for clients to process and figure out what is going to help them best to heal, recover, or get through hard times. I really want to help clients find their inner strength, build up their toolbox of healthy coping strategies that work for them and everyone is unique in that and learn to turn their mess into messages or their hardships into stepping stones for the future.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Christian Counseling
I am a practicing Christian, and open to seeing people of all faiths and backgrounds, but I am open to using scripture or a Christian perspective in counseling/therapy as desired by the client.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Sometimes part of our role as therapists is to help clients accept what cannot be changed, or accept parts of themselves or their situations and acceptance can help bring healing and change or transformation. I have worksheets also.
Mind-body approach
The mind-body is a holistic approach where we can talk about the connection between mind and body, different strategies to release tension from the body and mind, and worksheets on this topic or activities depending on the client's needs and desires for this approach. Diet and exercise.
Child Parent Psychotherapy
I use it daily in practice and for myself. My practice centers around a mind, body and spirit approach, but I meet the client where they are at and go from there. I want you to fee comfortable.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I have taken many trainings on this topic of trauma and always learning. I have experienced trauma personally and feel I have insight into some types of trauma. I have worksheets on it and use CBT in my practice daily.
