Although I call Minnesota my home state, I lived in southern California for just over ten years while completing my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of California Santa Barbara and later, my doctoral degree from California Lutheran University. Nature and outdoor activities have kept me grounded along my journey, and I’ve been lucky enough to live on the beach and now the mountains. As a recent Colorado transplant, I continue to be in awe of the stunning backdrop that comes with living in Boulder.
I believe the relationship between a therapist and client is built on a foundation of safety and trust in a nonjudgmental space. While my theoretical background includes Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered therapy, I strive to work collaboratively with you to determine your individual needs. I am trained in and enjoy providing EMDR when appropriate. Ultimately, I aim to guide and support you along your personal journey.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with adults and transitional-aged youth struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, adjustment issues, bipolar disorder, and psychotic disorders. My experience thus far has strengthened my drive to increase a person’s sense of stability, while also allowing for personal growth.
