Trusted Psychotherapy Services in Saint Paul
I have dedicated my career to providing compassionate psychotherapy services to adolescents, adults, couples, and families since establishing my private practice in 2002. With over three decades of combined clinical experience, including 18 years as a medical social worker and 15 years providing school-based counseling, I specialize in addressing relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, and self-esteem issues. My practice emphasizes collaborative care through a unique partnership with colleague Thomas Wales, enabling comprehensive family therapy sessions that address both individual and systemic needs.Holding a Master's Degree in Social Work from the College of St. Catherine and the University of St. Thomas, I maintain active licensure as an Independent Clinical Social Worker in Minnesota and continue professional development through advanced training at the Minnesota Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. My approach prioritizes creating safe, trusting therapeutic environments where clients can explore personal challenges without judgment, focusing on symptom reduction and improved emotional regulation while respecting each client's self-directed treatment goals.
