Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read about me and my practice! I am excited you're interested in sexual and relational health and may be interested in therapy. A little about me- I specialize in working with individuals and couples who have concerns about their relational and sexual functioning or who are suffering the effects of previous traumatic experiences. I am particularly passionate about providing high quality, specialized care to anyone who desires it. That’s why I created Equilibrium Therapy Services PLLC- to meet the needs of all Minnesotans, including those who are struggling with some of the most sensitive and vulnerable issues one could face in life. I offer individual, couple, and family therapy and will work with you to develop a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and desires. Also, because the services I offer are via telehealth, you can access therapy from anywhere in the state of Minnesota without having to take additional time, outside of your actual appointment, away from work, your family, or your life.
Even if therapy is not something you are ready to commit to, I encourage you to explore my website as I offer a variety of information and resources, free of charge. You will find a blog regarding sexual health, a variety of podcast episodes related to general mental and relational health, and a Facebook page where I offer weekly tips & information. I also offer free 15 minute consultations to anyone considering therapy services to ensure goodness of fit and to alleviate possible concerns or worries about the therapeutic process.
Some information about my history- I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology at University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at St. Mary’s University of Minnesota, my Professional Development Certificate at University of Wisconsin, Stout, and am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. I also provide supervision to those who are training to become therapists. I’ve worked in several outpatient settings providing individual, family, and couples therapy; as an in-home therapist for families with Child Protective Services involvement; as an in-home therapist for individuals and families with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness; and in an emergency department providing crisis assessments and stabilization. I am Level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS) trained, Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) basic trained, Gottman Level 1 trained, and am Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) basic trained.
Prior to becoming a therapist, I managed an assisted living facility for adults with Traumatic Brain Injuries, worked as an Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) worker and Children’s Therapeutic Support Services (CTSS) worker, and volunteered with the Sexual Violence Center as a sexual assault advocate.
