Counseling Services
Faith‑rooted, trauma‑informed support for every season of life.
I offer virtual Christian counseling for individuals, families, and groups across Minnesota. My work blends evidence‑based therapy with a warm, faith‑centered approach, helping you find clarity, healing, and renewed hope.
Who I Serve
Woman Navigating Change
Have you always been a spunky, creative woman full of life, but lately find yourself feeling disconnected from who you are?
I help women navigate some of life’s most challenging seasons, including the loss of someone important, a life-altering medical diagnosis, trauma from the past, and perimenopause or menopause symptoms that contribute to depression, anxiety, or mood swings.
These experiences can leave you feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, and struggling to find your footing. Therapy provides a supportive space to process these challenges, build resilience, and develop practical tools for moving forward.
Together, we work toward healing, growth, and helping you move from simply surviving difficult seasons to thriving through them.
Christian Counseling
Are you a Christian looking for a compassionate space where faith and mental health can be explored together. I support individuals who are seeking to grow in their relationship with God while also navigating the emotional challenges of life.
Whether you are healing after infidelity, processing trauma, struggling with depression, or walking through grief and loss, therapy can offer hope, restoration, and practical tools for healing. My approach honors both your Christian beliefs and emotional well-being as we work toward renewed strength, peace, and healing.
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalms 27:1
Food Allergies
Living with food allergies impacts far more than just what is on your plate. Food allergies and food anxiety are real and deserve compassionate mental health support and understanding. So much of life revolves around food—family gatherings, holidays, celebrations, work events, and social connection—and navigating those experiences with fear, frustration, or isolation can feel exhausting. Many individuals find themselves grieving the loss of simplicity and safety around eating while also carrying the emotional weight of constantly needing to plan, explain, or stay alert.
Therapy provides a space to process those emotions, reduce anxiety, and rebuild confidence in daily life. I believe healing also comes from building upon your strengths, embracing creativity, and helping you reconnect with the foods, experiences, and parts of yourself that still bring joy, nourishment, and connection.
My Approach to Healing
Play Therapy is NOT just for kids! Teens and adults can benefit from a creative approach to healing.
As adults, life experiences often lead us to build emotional “walls” for protection. While those walls can serve a purpose, talk therapy alone can sometimes feel like it doesn’t fully get through them. That doesn’t mean healing isn’t possible—it just means you may need a different path to reach it.
Play Therapy offers that alternative. It uses creative, experiential tools such as stickers, art, drawing, drumming, and games to help express thoughts and feelings that are often difficult to put into words. These approaches can open space for insight, connection, and healing in a different way than traditional talk therapy.
Play Therapy is NOT just for kids—it’s for anyone open to trying a different way to heal. Are you willing to give it a try?
Play Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
I often describe EMDR as a therapy approach that feels like “processing on fast forward.” It uses fewer words than traditional talk therapy and focuses less on retelling details.
For many people, EMDR helps process stuck thoughts or traumatic experiences in a different way, allowing the memory to feel more neutral and less emotionally charged over time.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
& Many More Therapy Approaches
CBT is often referred to as a “talk therapy” approach, and it has an important place in counseling. CBT focuses on exploring the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through this process, therapy helps you identify and adjust thought patterns in order to create healthier emotional responses and behavioral changes.
In addition to CBT, I am trained in DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy), and I also enjoy using Attachment-Based Therapy to support deeper healing and connection.
