Licensed Marriage & Family
Therapist- MN & WI
AASECT Certified Sex Therapist
MN BMFT & BBHT Approved Supervisor
Welcome! I'm glad you're here and I hope I can be of service. The fact that you're here tells me there's something in your life that isn't going well. It also tells me you'd like to know if there's anything you can do to make things better- that sense of personal responsibility is a good sign! As you consider your options, here are a few things to know about me:
I specialize in addressing sexual issues, relationship concerns, and trauma. That means there's nothing you can't talk about with me. I take therapy seriously and care deeply about helping you reach your goals. I want to help you create lasting change that benefits you, your relationships, and your life.
Previous clients have described me as pragmatic, compassionate, and non-judgmental while simultaneously offering accountability and direct feedback. I believe change is possible for everyone, no matter how complex the issue. I fully expect to work just as hard as my clients do.
I offer standard length therapy sessions (55 minutes), extended sessions (90 - 120 minutes), and therapy intensives (3 hours or more). These options allow you to customize your therapy experience to what works best for you.
If you want to learn more about me or my credentials, you can do so here or, if you've heard enough, schedule a free 15-minute consult to see if we're a good fit.
Transparency matters: Therapy is an investment in your wellbeing, life, & relationship. Sessions with me cost $200 per therapy hour. For those who want to utilize insurance, I am considered an out-of-network provider and am happy to provide a superbill. You will need to check with your insurance company to determine if you have out-of-network benefits. You are also able to utilize your Health Savings Account to cover the cost of therapy. Learn more about my fees & policies, out-of-network reimbursement, & why I don't accept insurance.
