Connect with Compassion Focused therapy in Burnsville, MN

I have spent the last several years providing direct care to clients experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression, primarily due to caregiver roles, personal/work responsibilities, chronic illness, and concerns related to aging.

I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as you discover your own wisdom and resilience. I use gentle humor when appropriate, as laughter can be surprisingly healing, and I’m committed to making therapy feel educational and empowering rather than overwhelming.

I am a seasoned, compassionate, active, and direct therapist with 20+ years of experience. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Salem State University. I use a variety of evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique story to help you reach your personal and professional potential.

My passion for counseling stems from wanting to help each person learn to achieve their “Best Life”. I use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach.

I'm a therapist who believes people are inherently worthy just as they are. I focus on building a strong, authentic therapeutic relationship where every brain type and identity is respected.

If you're feeling stuck in your feelings, old habits, or a relationship, it may be your body's way of telling you you're ready for change.

I won't promise to fix you because I don't believe you are broken.
