In Person in Edina/Virtual Appointments

Life transitions, stress, or simply feeling “stuck” can leave you overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of where to turn. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, parenting stress, or the challenges of caring for both children and aging parents. Perhaps you’re an educator or caregiver carrying compassion fatigue, or a teen or young adult facing big changes. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to face it alone.

In our work together, therapy is about you. With me, you’ll find a warm, non-judgmental space where you can slow down, process what’s on your mind, and feel truly heard. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based—we’ll work at your pace to clarify your goals, explore your emotions, and build the tools you need to move forward with more clarity and confidence. My goal is to use my down-to-earth style, gentle humor (when appropriate), and unconditional positive regard to create a space where you can show up and feel encouraged and validated exactly as you are.

I support both adults and teens (16+) and have a special focus on helping women, educators, and caregivers who are stretched thin. Whether you’re coping with life transitions, struggling with relationships, or longing for more balance and fulfillment, therapy can help you reconnect with your resilience and take meaningful steps forward.

I hold a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Notre Dame and an M.A. in Educational Psychology from the University of Minnesota. I have many years of experience as a school counselor, in which I have helped adolescents, young adults, and families navigate life’s many challenges. Outside of school and the therapy room, I’m a single mom to a young adult son, an animal lover, and someone who enjoys exercising, baking, and traveling.

To make therapy fit your busy life, I offer virtual evening sessions and in-person appointments on Sunday mornings. If you’re ready to begin, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you navigate challenges, rediscover your strengths, and move toward the life you want.
