I am a goal-oriented clinician who is collaborative with clients to ensure their needs and hopes for therapy are met. I have training in trauma-informed therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR), should clients need to address difficult events impacting their quality of life. I am also a proud ally and affirmative therapist for LGBTQQIA persons and their families. I earned a Master of Science degree from North Dakota State University in 2013, and began my career at The Village, division of The Village Family Service Center, in Fargo. I have worked in the St. Cloud, MN office since 2014, providing diagnostic assessments and therapy services to individuals, couples, and families. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist; this training gives me the perspective that an individual's life struggles may influence and be influenced by the larger systems they are a part of (e.g., a couple, family, group, culture).
