About

Overwhelmed? Stuck? Struggling to trust? Failed attempts to connect on repeat and overwhelming you? Tired of fighting with no resolution? Dealing with past relational trauma you can't break free from? Or maybe you want to find peace within? I am here to help you better connect with others, with your own sense of self, and with your personal sense of spirituality if you desire. I provide 60-90 minute sessions and longer couples and marriage intensives. Find your authentic self and discover you can be that person, love that person...and that person IS worth being loved as is. I am here to walk with folks in that journey. I work side by side with my clients as an equal. They chose where they wish to go, I help them get there when they feel they can't get there on their own. Together we find out how much power and control they really do have when it comes to behaviors and outcomes in their life. I am Gottman trained in Level, 1, 2 and 3. If you're carrying more emotional pain then you can joy, I want to help. Our divine right/purpose as a human is to love and be loved. Yet, "relationshiping" is beautiful and MESSY. A two way inescapable magnifying mirror. So let's not try to escape; let's lean into it. Move THROUGH shame, guilt, and judgment. Land with stronger footing. I am here to help. Specialties: I meet you where you are, no expectations, no wrong or right to that. You will determine where you want to go, what is right for you... I do not. My job is to guide you on that journey with expertise and tools I have accumulated along my professional and personal journeys. My job is also to provide judgment free space for you to explore where you are, where you have been, and where you want to go. Credentials & Experience: Also Licensed in the state of Minnesota. See my bio for a more detailed list of additional study, certifications and qualifications. My sessions are billed per hour.

"I am trained through Gottman Level 3, along with Gottman Affairs and Trauma, 7 Principals of Marriage, Couples Addiction Recovery, and Emotion Coaching for Parenting. Besides couples, my specialty is in helping folks relationally. With self, higher power, or a loved one. I never stop learning, training, and reaching higher for the latest researched backed theories and tools that are proven to help"
