I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Minnesota State University, Mankato. I have experience providing therapy in community mental health and school-based settings, working primarily with children ages 2–13. In my time at Invigorate, I have loved working with teens and young adults, especially those navigating queerness, anxiety, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in attachment theory, family systems, and trauma-informed care. I am also trained in the diagnosis and treatment of young children ages 0–5 using the DC:0–5™ Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood.

My approach is warm, playful, and collaborative. I use developmentally appropriate, evidence-based strategies to meet each client where they are, tailoring treatment to their unique developmental stage, strengths, and goals. Whether I’m working with young children through play, supporting teens as they navigate identity and relationships, or helping young adults manage life’s transitions, I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered. When working with children, I also partner closely with parents and caregivers to build skills and strategies that foster growth at home, at school, and beyond.

I consider it a true privilege to walk alongside children, teens, young adults, and their families as they strengthen relationships, improve communication, and build resilience. As a therapist, I’m especially passionate about creating an environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I believe in the healing power of connection, play, laughter, and a little bit of silliness, while also providing compassionate support through the challenges that impact everyday life.
