PERSONAL

I moved to Minnesota in 2001 from Racine, Wisconsin and have been here ever since. I have been married since 2007 and have two girls (born in 2010 and 2014). I enjoy being active through sport, exercise, and fishing. I am also a huge nerd and love reading both fiction and non-fiction. I love learning and teaching and I find people endlessly fascinating.

PROFESSIONAL

I worked with college students from 2006-2020 in a college ministry setting. In those 14 years I developed an intuition for helping individuals and couples pursue their goals for growth, healing, and conflict resolution. I am passionate about walking alongside others in the midst of their life struggles. I love neuroscience and its applications in therapy. I regularly read research and seek ways to implement some of the latest findings for helping people achieve the mental health they desire.
