Your Trusted Psychotherapy Partner in Saint Paul
I am a licensed psychotherapist with over two decades of experience providing compassionate care to adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My practice focuses on addressing relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues, with specialized expertise in supporting adult survivors of childhood abuse. I collaborate with colleague Thomas Wales to offer integrated family therapy sessions, combining individual and parental counseling to enhance family dynamics. With a Master's Degree in Social Work from the College of St. Catherine and the University of St. Thomas, and advanced training from the Minnesota Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, I bring both academic rigor and practical experience to my work.My approach emphasizes creating safe, trusting environments where clients can explore their challenges without judgment. I have maintained a private practice since 2002 while also serving as a medical social worker for 18 years and providing school-based counseling for adolescents. I prioritize client autonomy by allowing individuals to set their own therapeutic agendas while offering expert guidance. Prospective clients can access free half-hour consultations to discuss their needs and determine if our therapeutic approach aligns with their goals. My commitment to ongoing professional development ensures that I remain current with evolving psychotherapeutic techniques and best practices.
