About me
I’m really glad you’re here. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, and you’re wanting something to shift. Therapy can help you find steadier ground and move forward. I support adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also provide support to those navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, pregnancy loss, and emotional demands of parenting. I offer in-person sessions in Fargo and telehealth across ND and MN. You don’t have to figure this out alone. If you’re ready to move forward, I’d be glad to connect.
I’m a doctoral-level licensed professional counselor with over 14 years of experience. I believe that no two people need the same thing. Some need practical tools, some need space to process what happened, and some just need genuine, empathic support. I’ll meet you where you are using EMDR, CBT, DBT, or whatever approach best fits you.
Seeking support takes strength, and together we’ll build on it. Taking that first step doesn’t require having it all figured out. It just requires being willing. Whether you’re ready to begin or simply exploring whether therapy might help, I’d be glad to connect.
