I utilize my background in family work, attachment and trauma to understand each client and their needs. My past work with children and families gives me an understanding of relationships and our need for connection.
Trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Child Parent Psychotherapy, Attachment Biobehavioral Catch-up and Circle of Security.
Experienced in working with all ages from birth through adulthood. Additional training and experience in mindfulness techniques, sand tray therapy and clinical supervision.
Masters degree in Social Work from Florida Gulf Coast University (2009), Bachelors degree in Social Work from UW-Superior (2001). Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, MN #23034.
The work we do together focuses on the goals that you have for personal growth. My goal for each client is social and emotional well-being, strengthening relationships and increasing your ability to be in the present moment.
My 6 years of experience and training in early childhood interventions allow me to help support children and their caregivers.
Dr.'s Julie & John Gottman’s books and trainings guide my work with couples. I enjoy the journey of supporting couples see each other and their relationship in a new light. Relationships are so crucial in our lives and they can be hard to navigate on our own.
I was trained in EMDR through the EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs in 2018 and utilize this intervention to support healing around past traumas. I have found EMDR to be an amazing tool to facilitate integration of memories that can get stuck in our subconscious.
I am trained in sand-tray therapy techniques and love to use this modality with both children and adults. My training began in Florida with the Institute of Playful Healing and continued at the Sand Tray Training Institute of New Mexico.
I see therapy as a partnership between the client(s) and the therapist. Through the building of trust and understanding there can be new insights for growth and healing.
It can be an overwhelming step to begin therapy or find a new therapist! I would like to help you feel as comfortable as possible and know a little about what to expect.
Our first appointment is a time to get to know more about what brings you to therapy and to review the paperwork you completed prior to the session. Over the next few sessions we will complete a plan for goals and course of treatment.
I accept the following insurance: Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Health Partners, Medica, MN Medicaid & Medicare, Tricare West, UCare, UMR. Co-pays are due at the time of service.
