Personal

I was raised in Chippewa Falls, WI and moved here to Minnesota in 2006. I am happily married and have two children under the age of three. Activities that I enjoy are spending quality time with family and friends, remaining active through sports or even hiking outdoors as well as taking up new hobbies (even though they maybe challenging). Recently, I decided to learn how to play guitar, but still struggle with carrying a tune.

Professional

“The happiness of your life, depends on the quality of your thoughts” -  Marcus Aurelius. Everyone faces challenges on a variety of levels, it is reassuring to know that it is possible to overcome those challenges by having a space to process the situation and develop a plan for personal growth. With compassion and understanding, my role as a therapist is to bring new insights, identify strengths, clarify goals as well as teach new skills for relationships.
