Individual Psychotherapy | CBT & Integrative Therapy

My work centers on helping you come back into conversation with yourself—the parts you know well, the parts you avoid, and the parts that are still finding their voice. People do not change by “fixing” themselves. They change by understanding why their inner world is organized the way it is. Together, we’ll look at what’s been getting in your way, trace the patterns that keep resurfacing, and build a sense of agency that feels earned rather than forced.

In the room, you can expect me to be engaged and genuinely curious. I listen closely—not just to what you say, but how you say it—so you feel understood, supported, and not alone in whatever you’re carrying. I work with compassion and steadiness, while also making space for the occasional well-timed laugh. Therapy can be challenging and meaningful; it can also have moments of lightness that help us breathe again.

As a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) and licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LADC) in Minneapolis, my approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative, person-centered, solution-focused, and strengths-based perspectives. I'm attentive to how emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns intersect—and how the stories we've lived through shape the stories we tell about ourselves now.

Our work is about making those stories more coherent, more humane, and more aligned with the life you're trying to build.
