I am an easygoing, caring and empathetic person who strives to create a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment for my clients. I especially love to work with children and teens, as it allows me to use creative strategies for treatment planning. I very much enjoy learning about my clients' interests and gaining insight into their worldview. My specialty areas include helping clients who struggle with anxiety, ADHD, depression, and symptoms associated with autism. In my practice, I often employ emotional regulation techniques, coping skills, calming exercises, and I love to teach and practice these skills with my clients in sessoin. 

In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis and pickleball. I have been a lifelong Chicago Bears and Iowa Hawkeyes fan, and watch games whenever possible. I currently live south of the Twin Cities with my two cats.
