About
Renovation is hard work. It’s impossible to appreciate true transformation unless you identify and remove the damaged and unhealthy thoughts and habits first. My integrative approach draws from various approaches, allowing me to tailor a plan that supports your needs. Together, we will work towards building a foundation that will contribute to lasting emotional growth and well-being.
I am a Master’s level psychologist (MA, LP) in Minnesota with over 30 years of experience helping individuals of all ages navigate challenges and improve their emotional well-being. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, and I design my therapeutic techniques to suit each client's unique needs.

I am well-versed in integrating Christian principles into therapy for those seeking a faith-based approach. I have supported individuals and families in aligning their spiritual beliefs with their mental and emotional well-being while fostering a holistic sense of healing and purpose. Whether you're looking to explore your faith in the context of therapy or integrate your spiritual values into our sessions, I am here to provide guidance and support every step of the way.
