Therapy in Shoreview

Feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or weighed down by life’s challenges? Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or substance use, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. Many people carry invisible burdens that quietly affect their relationships, confidence, and sense of peace. Therapy offers a safe, compassionate space to unpack those struggles, gain clarity, and move toward lasting change.

As someone who has experienced life’s highs and lows, I deeply respect the courage it takes to face difficult situations with openness and a growth-oriented mindset. I strive to bring that same authenticity and empathy into every session.

My approach is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed modalities including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and EMDR. Together, we’ll explore the deeper patterns, beliefs, and barriers that keep you stuck—while building practical tools for emotional resilience and personal growth.

In therapy, I emphasize a structured yet flexible approach—tailored to meet you where you are. I draw from multiple modalities to create personalized treatment plans that are both efficient and empowering. My goal is not only to help you reach your therapy objectives but also to equip you with lifelong skills so that you can continue your growth independently. Handouts, skill practice, and between-session reflection often help deepen this process.

I earned my Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University in Fresno, California. Over the last three years, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse individuals across a wide range of settings, including Veterans Affairs (VA), community mental health, crisis intervention, psychiatric inpatient, and residential substance-use treatment programs.

If you’re ready to take the first step toward change, I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to face this journey alone—healing starts with a conversation.

I earned my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois. During my training, I gained experience working with diverse and complex populations across a range of clinical settings, including prisons, Veterans Affairs hospitals, outpatient mental health clinics, and substance use treatment centers.

For the past four years, I've been providing clinical services to clients at Nowlogy, working with individuals experiencing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use disorders, relational difficulties, borderline personality disorder, and other complex mental health challenges.

I provide individual psychotherapy and psychological assessment services. My work integrates evidence-based treatment approaches tailored to each client’s needs. I draw from a range of empirically supported modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I also utilize trauma-focused treatments such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).

My therapeutic style is empathetic, compassionate, and collaborative. I strive to create a space that is both professional and approachable, allowing clients to feel comfortable while engaging in meaningful therapeutic work. Clients often describe me as knowledgeable, easygoing, and supportive, noting that they can build rapport quickly and feel safe discussing difficult topics without fear of judgment.

I believe that meaningful growth and change are possible at any stage of life. I am committed to helping clients navigate challenges, build insight, and develop effective strategies for healing and personal growth within a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment. I look forward to working with you.
