I enjoy helping individuals with a variety of mental health concerns, including treatment resistant mental health disorders and treatment during pregnancy and the postpartum period. If you feel that you've tried everything, come see me and we can discuss this further!

I have accumulated over 33 years of experience in the healthcare field, starting in medical records and later transitioning into the insurance sector. Subsequently, I assumed the role of Violence Prevention Coordinator/Facilitator, where I educated healthcare professionals on assisting individuals facing sexual or physical assault. During this time, I also led the Ramsey County Sexual Assault Protocol Team, bringing together a multidisciplinary group in the Saint Paul area to create victim-sensitive protocols for survivors of sexual assault. Concurrently, I pursued and completed a master's degree in Counseling and Psychological Services. Opting for a different path than a PsyD, I entered the field of Nursing. For 14 years, I dedicated my efforts to working with individuals dealing with eating disorders, finding immense fulfillment in this area. In May 2022, I accomplished my PMHNP from the University of North Dakota and subsequently worked at a psychiatric clinic in the Fargo Moorhead area for about a year before deciding to establish my private practice.

You have your life together, but inside, you feel you are crumbling. On the outside, no one notices. All they see is someone who is responsible and is able to do the things that need to be done. You make it through the day, only to get home and have a wave of emotions drown you. It has not always been like this, the person that was on the outside was the way you felt on the inside. But things seemed to shift. You try to think, when did this happen? And then you realize, you know the answer. It was that one situation. The situation you have tried to bury because even just thinking about it brings you back into the moment. You are forced messages from friends and family you have told you are struggling. They don't seem to understand you can't just "move on". The feelings you are having are quicksand, no matter how much you try, you are stuck. You are still sinking. As your therapist, I am here to help you stop sinking. We will work together to understand your past experiences. You have the power to take control over all past difficult situations. The negative feelings or emotions do not have to rule your life. By understanding what is going on inside, you are able to decide how you feel. To get started, connect with me for a free 15-minute consultation. We will work together to help you live the life you want to live!
