Everyone needs therapy, whether it be your daily walk or your morning cup of coffee, but life can deal us confusion and challenges that walks and coffee can't always fix! I can support you in changing your thinking patterns, cycles and finding motivation. I can help you work through barriers and adjustments and challenges. It is important to challenge and explore thoughts that you are avoiding or they are negatively impacting your daily routines and expectations. Connecting with others and building rapport are the cornerstones of successful therapy. I can support you through setting goals, finding motivation, and working through barriers and adjustments that are holding you back. My career is where I find my meaning. Working through anxiety, depression, adjustments and relationship issues with my client is most rewarding. My clients say I am trusting, understanding, calm, and approachable.

I most frequently use interventions that include mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person Centered, and trauma related. Everyone should have routine therapy, through self-reflection, an activity, natural support, or professional therapy. I truly enjoy supporting clients as they open up and push through barriers that were once feared or avoided. My clients are important to me and I continue to research and be curious about psychology in order to become the most effective therapist possible.

I grew up in central Minnesota and graduated from San Jose State University with a BA in Psychology. I earned my Masters in School Counseling at St. Cloud State University and then I completed my License in Professional Clinical Counseling at University of Wisconsin. I have eight years experience working as a high school counselor in a high-risk behavior setting and as an Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services provider. My experience has shown me that working with clients that struggle with adjustments, depression, anxiety, mood instability, and relationships is my most fulfilling work.

Outside of work, you will find me, my wife, and two daughters outside as much as possible. I grew up playing hockey and I continue to play and watch as many games as I can. I enjoy snowboarding, golfing, fishing and playing guitar. Exercising is something I engage in, but can't say that I always enjoy it!
