5 Words That Describe Me as a Therapist
Attuned, Reflective, Grounded, Authentic, Empowering

My Approach
Therapy doesn’t have to begin with answers—it can begin with curiosity. I see therapy as a place to slow down, get grounded, and better understand the experiences and patterns that have shaped you. Together, we can get curious about what feels stuck, what may be underneath it, and what different parts of you might be trying to communicate. My approach is collaborative, relational, and strengths-based, with your values, identity, and lived experience guiding the work.

I primarily work with queer and neurodivergent folks, tweens and teens, women and girls, and anyone navigating identity, relationships, body image, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, and societal expectations. I approach this work through a justice-centered, liberation-focused, and affirming lens, helping you make more room for self-compassion, authenticity, and the things that matter most to you.

About Me
I’m an advocate and activist, a plant lover, and an iced oatmilk latte connoisseur. I’m also a big fan of physical media—books, art, video games, and music—and I love the curiosity and creativity they bring into my life and work. These interests are part of what I bring into the therapy space: attentiveness, openness, curiosity, and a genuine appreciation for the things that make each person who they are. And as an added bonus, I’m always happy to talk about your geeky or nerdy interests, too!

Background
I’m a pre-licensed mental health professional working toward licensure as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota under the supervision of Dr. Maggie Meyers. I hold a Master of Arts in Educational Psychology with an emphasis in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Gender & Women’s Studies from St. Cloud State University.

My path into this work has been shaped by a commitment to direct support, social justice, and advocacy, including previous work in domestic violence shelter services and student support. These experiences continue to inform the way I understand mental health—not just as something happening within an individual, but within the relationships, communities, and systems they are part of.
