Connect with Compassion Focused therapy in Burnsville, MN

I'm a woman veteran who loves helping people where they are. My approach is meeting you where you're at and creating goals together so we have a common focus. I have three boys and love animals—when I'm not working, I'm outside with my kids, in the garden, or with my dogs. I look forward to connecting with you.

I'm a social worker with a passion for helping individuals reduce the impact of social pressures and those whose lives have been negatively affected by poor mental health or chemical health issues. I believe in meeting you where you are and supporting your journey toward wellness.

At the heart of my work, I am a Christian therapist. I value taking the time to truly understand your story and will work collaboratively with you to meet your unique needs.

I aim to create a warm, inclusive, non-judgmental space to make therapy approachable. I specialize in neurodivergence, sleep, anxiety, supporting queer identities, and navigating life transitions. I look forward to working together and supporting you as you target your treatment goals.

Every person holds a story worth telling and reclaiming. In my practice, I create a safe space for reflection, curiosity, and meaning-making, where experiences are honored and your voice leads toward healing and hope. Your story matters—and it deserves to be heard with compassion.

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 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.

If you're here, you've already taken a courageous step. I bring experience supporting individuals of all ages navigating depression, anxiety, addiction, ADHD, Autism, trauma, technology-related stress, medical concerns, and abuse. My approach is direct yet compassionate, collaborative, and adaptive to your unique needs.

I have a passion for helping people and have worked with individuals across the lifespan. I bring experience with different family systems, grief, children, and couples. Each person I've worked with has taught me something special, and I carry those lessons forward. I'm confident that through a collaborative approach, we can achieve your goals.

I'm so glad you've chosen to engage in therapy. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, grief, and relationship issues. I believe you'll make great progress when you feel safe and accepted by your therapist, so it's my goal that you'll feel that way in every encounter we have.

I'm glad you're here and taking the first step toward caring for yourself. I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. Together, we'll work toward understanding your challenges and finding ways to create meaningful change in your life.

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. We're meant to experience many emotions; the problem comes when we're immobilized by them or when our thoughts keep us from living our values. I won't promise to fix you because I don't believe you are broken.

I'm passionate about creating a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, overcome challenges, and reach your personal goals. Together, we'll work on building resilience, enhancing your strengths, and fostering positive change in your life.

I support adults managing trauma, anxiety, and long-term stress, including those impacted by the justice system. My style is grounded, direct, and collaborative, so you can heal at a pace that feels safe for you.
