about me

Oftentimes our negative beliefs about ourselves can prevent personal growth and can lead to emotional suffering. People can get stuck in these patterns that disrupt their lives and relationships. My office is a welcoming space where we can work together to get un-stuck. You are the expert in your own life, but I can help you work toward your goals and emotional health.

I graduated from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and English. Following that, I completed my Master of Science in Counseling, focusing on Marriage and Family Therapy, at California State University-Long Beach. I am trained in EMDR and Prolonged Exposure, two specific therapies for trauma.

Originally from Minnesota, I have lived in California and traveled extensively around the world. I have two kids and two cats named Eevee and Sunny, who occasionally join my telehealth sessions as my HIPAA-compliant business associates. I identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and am actively involved in social justice issues because I believe that therapy extends beyond the therapy room and into the systems that surround us.

In my ample free time (hah!) I love to hike and paint and listen to music. I can’t wait to meet you!
