In Person in Monticello/Virtual Appointments

I’m passionate about helping people live happier, healthier lives filled with meaning and purpose. In our work together, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore your goals and discover the steps to move forward. I see counseling as a collaborative journey—one where you feel empowered, gain clarity, and build excitement for what’s ahead.

I bring years of experience as a former school counselor supporting children and teens and am well-trained in working with adults. I enjoy helping individuals of all ages navigate life’s challenges. I’m LGBTQ+-affirming, culturally aware and humble, and committed to creating an inclusive and caring environment for everyone.

I earned my MS in School Counseling from South Dakota State University in 1998 and my Doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision in 2006. Currently, I serve as a professor and director of the school counseling program at St. Cloud State University, where I continue to train future counselors. My dual experience as a practitioner and educator gives me a unique perspective that I bring to each counseling relationship—helping you feel supported, understood, and ready for your next chapter.
