From a very young age, I was told what a good listener I am, and I’ve always been fascinated by human behavior. This combination naturally led to my majoring in communication as an undergraduate, and obtaining a Masters degree in counseling from Minnesota State University.

Now I am a Licensed Psychologist and Life Coach with over 30 years of experience in providing high-quality, integrative, person-centered individual, couples, group counseling, therapy, and personal coaching.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples, and adore group psychotherapy, as there’s a special synergy when a number of us come together in vulnerability and courage, supporting each other in experimenting with new behaviors, and inviting our best selves to emerge. I also offer consultation for helping professionals, assisting them navigate tricky client and patient situations and maintain balance between their personal and professional lives.

Virtually all populations intrigue me, but I have a special place in my heart for highly sensitive people (HSPs), minority groups, members of the LGBTQIAP2S+ communities, artists and other creatives, and those with active spiritual lives.
