About
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’ve “tried everything” and nothing is quite working, you’re not alone. Many of the clients I work with are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or chronic stress—and are ready for something to feel different. I provide therapy for adults and young adults in Fargo, ND who are looking for a space that feels calm, supportive, and genuine. My approach is collaborative, grounded, and practical. Together, we’ll work to better understand patterns, process difficult experiences, and build tools that help everyday life feel more manageable and meaningful. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. Whether you’re experiencing constant overthinking, emotional overwhelm, difficulty coping, or feeling stuck after painful experiences, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and feel more in control. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and nonjudgmental. I use evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, including ACT, mindfulness, relational, and person-centered therapy, and I’m trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for trauma work. My goal is to help you feel more like yourself again. Specialties: Our work together will increase your awareness about what is important to you as well as how to create goals that mesh with your values and beliefs. In the first session, you can expect that we will get to know each other, identify what is impacting you and making sure we are a good fit. Gathering this information allows for you and I to create a focused plan moving forward to best help you. Credentials & Experience: I am licensed in both Minnesota and North Dakota and have experience working with individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life due to my work at a clinic, community mental health center and college.
"Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) increases awareness of what matters most as well as helps gain control of how you react to thoughts, feelings and situations. We can use this therapy to identify your values, what you are working toward and what brings you meaning and a sense of purpose. This approach also helps to move away from black and white thinking and be more adaptive."
