I offer therapy for people who work in healthcare, caregivers, and career-oriented women feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected.

These long-standing patterns often form when you’ve had to “keep it together” for a long time.

In our work, we’ll focus on self-awareness, kindness, and sustainable change in a practical, relational way.

How Therapy Works

First, we’ll have a Discovery Call to see if we feel like we’re a good fit.

Then, we’ll meet for a 50-60 minute Intake Session to talk about:

  • What you’re struggling with

  • How you’d rather feel

  • What treatment might fit best for you

  • How often we’ll meet for therapy sessions (I prefer weekly or biweekly early on in our relationship)

  • What might be helpful to explore between sessions

Ongoing therapy will involve 50-minute sessions incorporating treatments that make sense for you.

As we work together, we will adjust the direction, treatment approach, and session frequency as needed.

My hope is that through our work you start to create a new normal that you feel good about and is sustainable.

At that point, we might meet less frequently or it might make sense to pause treatment when you don’t need it regularly.

Interested in getting started with therapy?

Here’s a little more information to help you decide:

  • I offer a free 15-minute Discovery Call to see if we are a good fit for each other. If we are, I offer individual therapy sessions through telehealth to clients in Minnesota or Oregon, or Walk & Talk therapy with clients in Minnesota.

  • I am licensed to provide therapy services to clients physically located in Minnesota or Oregon. If you are not physically located in Minnesota or Oregon, unfortunately we are not able to work together. This includes when you travel out of state. If you are physically in another state, even though you reside in MN or OR, I am unable to have a session with you until you are back in MN or OR.

  • I currently work as a full-time therapist with a company called Lyra Health. If your company offers this as part of their EAP benefits, I can send you my booking link and you can work with me using those free sessions.

    • Thursdays between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM CST
