I am a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, practicing in the St. Cloud area for over thirty-five years. I work with a variety issues and mental health concerns, with patients of both genders, ethnic backgrounds, and sexual orientations.. My focus is on helping patients to understand their life experiences and how those experiences impact their present day life and relationships.

Being a woman today can mean living with a lot of insecurity and anxiety. You want to appear successful and put together, but deep down you are struggling to figure out who you are, cope with the chaos in your life, and work through a difficult past. The pressures of everyday life fill you with constant overwhelm, relationships feel distant and stressful, and your energy reserves have been depleted. You can hold it together and make it through the day, but by the time you get home you are exhausted. Cooking, dinner, socialization, and parenting seem like impossible tasks.

For many clients, my approach results in resolution of their challenges in 3-4 months. I believe you can improve your mental health by tackling your problems head-on and looking at your situation from new angles. Life transitions (divorce, medical challenges, retirement, parenthood, emerging adulthood) are many times highly stressful. I can help you find balance and happiness in these trying times, by examining your choices and values. Clients often tell me, “I’ve never thought about it that way before." I named my practice “Refreshing Perspectives” because that’s what you’ll find when you come to me.

As a therapist and trauma-informed provider, I enjoy joining forces with those in MN/WI who are motivated for change and identifying the root causes that may be contributing to what someone is experiencing, so enhanced healing can occur. I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of mental health concerns over the span of my career, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, peri/maternal mental health, relationship concerns, life changes/transitions and those with medical condition concerns. I have special interests in working with women’s health, integrative health, and the college student population.

Many of us have feelings of not being good enough, or that we are bad, not lovable, not smart enough, not worthy, etc. These feelings can come from past trauma and/or from living with a narcissist. Because we have feelings like these, we think we have to do things for others so they will like us. It's exhausting. These feelings can create self doubt, confusion, anxiety, depression, fear, anger, etc. Your life doesn't have to be like this. Therapy can help you rid yourself of these beliefs and give you clarity and happiness. I've been successfully helping people with these issues thru online, EMDR based therapy, for many years.

Everyone has experienced pain and disappointment in their life. For some of us that pain is keeping us from the life we want. You may have learned to cope in ways that are no longer helpful and have become "stuck." I consider it an honor to hear your story and help you navigate what is keeping you from moving forward.

I have found my passion in helping Millennial and Gen Z women who are dealing with symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life stressors. I create a non-judgmental space for my clients to show up just as they are. I believe in working collaboratively with clients using humor, validation, and empathy to build a solid connection which then allows for clients to feel safe enough to try explore societal norms and expectations that have prevented them from living their idealized life.
