My approach to therapy begins with genuine curiosity about who you are and where you hope to go. I believe therapy works best as a collaborative process, and I draw from humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, and somatic approaches to meet you where you are and honor both your lived experiences and the story you bring into the room. Meaningful change, in my view, grows from understanding not only our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, but the deeper patterns that shape them. A guiding value in my work is freedom through awareness—the idea that as we learn to better understand and relate to our minds and experience, we can develop greater clarity, self-compassion, and a sense of agency that supports lasting change.

My specialty areas include working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I particularly enjoy working with individuals moving through pressures of college life, early career changes, and athletic identity transitions. In our work together, we will explore what may be getting in the way of change, reflect on patterns that once served you but may no longer, and work toward creating something more intentional and supportive in their place.

As a former Division III and I baseball player, I have a deep personal connection to the mental demands of competitive sport. I have also worked as a hitting instructor with baseball and softball athletes, integrating mechanical and mental skill development to the training environment. I am passionate about working with clients in the fields of performance and sport psychology. With athletes I specialize in the areas of performance anxiety, mental skills development, injury recovery, and the complex identity shifts that come with the athlete experience. I also work with adolescents and young adults who are navigating questions of identity, confidence, and belonging within their families, peer groups, and athletic environments.

My clinical background spans outpatient therapy at Nystrom & Associates (now Sagent Behavioral Health) where I worked with individuals across the life span, navigating anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and life transitions, as well as psychological assessment for ADHD, depression, traumatic brain injuries, and dementia. I earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology at the University of St. Thomas and am currently pursuing my doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota Twin Cities.
