Education: I obtained my Master’s of Counseling degree at the University of North Dakota (Go Hawks!) in 2003. Prior to that, I received my B.A. in Psychology in 2000.

Experience: I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and have spent 23+ years in the public sector as a community mental health professional and director, while also spending the last 14 years in private practice part time. People are my passion, and it is a privilege to support humans on their unique recovery journeys.

Who I am: I was born and raised in Grand Forks. I'm married with 3 kids. I love traveling, nature, water, hiking, photography, gardening, plants, and concerts/live music. I also love a good documentary or audiobook, crocheting, baking bread, and learning!

My values: Therapy isn't about the therapist's personal values or beliefs. That being said, it's important for me to share that inclusivity matters deeply to me. All patients should come into my space and feel free of judgment or discrimination. I welcome all ages, identities, ethnicities, bodies, and belief systems.
