Some of the hard things you’ve been through are showing up in your life now, and you are experiencing depression, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts. You want to understand yourself better and get better, but your life feels messy.
I’m here to offer support, encouragement, and a plan for your recovery. Therapy can provide a safe space for you to feel your feelings and learn more about yourself and what you need. We will work on coping skills, thought patterns, and personal narratives to promote growth and change.

I have experience working with PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, depression, as well as anxiety, depression, employment issues, life skills and social skills in autistic individuals.
I also enjoy couples therapy. In my work with couples, we focus on communication, conflict resolution, and intimacy. We also reprocess emotional experiences and work on restructuring the relationship.

Affordable therapy in Minnesota
Some of the conditions I treat and treatment modalities are described below.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by emotional highs as well as depressed low moods. During periods of elevated moods, individuals may spend large amounts of money, or have a high sex drive. The low moods are punctuated by severe depression that can last for months.
PTSD
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is caused by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms include nightmares, flashbacks, difficulty concentrating, and negative thinking. PTSD can significantly impair an individual’s functioning, affecting everything from their relationships to their ability to work.
Autistic Individuals and Autism Testing in Minnesota
For some autistic individuals, social interactions and relationships are difficult. Individuals may feel isolated, lonely, and even depressed because they lack the skills to engage in social relationships. These skills can be learned. Teens, young adults, and caregivers, join me and the other coaches at IRLSocialSkills for group social skills training.
In my practice, I specialize in working with autistic individuals and helping them with depression, anxiety, OCD, life skills, social skills, and attention issues they may be struggling with. I offer autism testing for adults in Minnesota.
I celebrate neurodiversity and the positive characteristics of autism. I support the #actuallyautistic community and believe that autism is not something to be cured. We all can improve our lives through obtaining better skills and working on mood issues.
OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a debilitating mental health disorder characterized by unwanted, intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. I specialize in working with harm/pedophilia intrusive thoughts OCD.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders create feelings of worry, anxiety, and fear that are strong enough to interfere with daily life. They include Generalized Anxiety disorder, Panic Disorder, Separation Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and OCD.
Depression
Depression is a common medical illness characterized by sadness, loss of energy, appetite changes, sleep difficulties and a loss of pleasure or interest in activities once enjoyed. Individuals with depression can experience a significant change in their ability to function at work, school, and at home.
Couples Counseling
People commonly seek out couple’s counseling due to poor communication, infidelity, abuse, parenting differences, financial issues, job stress, and substance abuse. We work on empathy, listening, communication and problem-solving skills as a part of healing and moving forward.
Couples Counseling can involve two or more individuals who are in an intimate relationship and are experiencing difficulties they want to resolve. After a free 30-minute consultation where we talk about some of the problems, I meet with each member of the relationship separately to learn about their own upbringing and expectations for counseling. After the individual sessions are complete, we come together and talk about what each individual appreciates about their partner and the relationship. In the next session, we go more in depth about the reasons for starting therapy and we begin the process of setting goals and objectives. This is carried into the next session.
Once the goals have been finalized, we get into the work of healing the relationship, improving communication and intimacy, and working through emotions.
Modalities used in therapy include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, Exposure Response Prevention, Cognitive Processing Therapy , and Cognitive Behavioral Couples Therapy as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy..
