Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as an MN-BSW Approved Clinical Supervisor. I work with young adults, adults, couples and families. I believe in providing space to show up as your authentic self and believe that transformative work begins through connection with a trusted therapist. I pull from my own life experiences and weave many therapeutic approaches into my work. My goal is to join with you in your healing, and I am committed to providing a supportive, caring, and nonjudgmental space in order to witness and explore your stories. I value transparency in therapeutic work and believe that therapy is a partnership The foundations of my work stem from the Polyvagal Theory, specifically connecting to and exploring how the body responds in service of our safety. I am a certified Brainspotting practitioner, and this along with the Polyvagal Theory, parts work (IFS) and narrative approaches have become very influential in my work and have helped those I team with to heal In my work, I explore how one’s past can affect one’s present and the ways in which our bodies have adapted in service of safety. I am passionate about joining you to hear your stories, learn from your experiences, and be curious about how your stories and journey have been shaped and stored in the body.
