ABOUT
I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Counseling and Psychotherapy from Adler Graduate School in 2017, my Graduate Certificate as an Addiction Specialist from St. Cloud State University in 2013, and my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from University of Minnesota-Duluth in 2011.
I believe that therapy starts with building a relationship of trust and understanding. My approach is client-centered with compassionate and direct communication. I work from a strength-based and goal-orientated model. I believe in empowering the individual to take ownership of their life. I use empathy with accountability.
