Meet Your Therapist

I’m a licensed alcohol and drug counselor and a pre-licensed psychotherapist with a Master of Social Work from The College of St. Scholastica. I use they/them pronouns, which for me is both cultural and spiritual. I carry ancestral knowledge as a keeper from a sacred third-gender lineage, and I am also a person in long-term recovery from a substance use disorder. 

I bring my whole self into this work—creating a space where you are invited to do the same, without judgment or expectation. Outside of therapy, I find renewal in the trees, the songs of birds, the wide sky, and time spent with my family.

 I view healing as a collaborative and deeply personal process—one that begins with being fully seen, heard, and accepted. I hold respect for your lived experience and center you as the expert of your own life. My role is not to direct or fix, but to walk alongside you with presence, curiosity, and compassion.

Grounded in a relational-cultural framework, I believe that authentic, trusting relationships are the foundation for meaningful healing and transformation.

I practice through a Harm Reduction and anti-oppressive lens, offering nonjudgmental, low-barrier support—particularly for people who use drugs, LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, and those exploring identity, spirituality, and belonging. Together, we’ll create a space where all parts of you are welcome, and healing can unfold at your pace and in your own way.

I create space for us to explore what matters most to you, including the parts of life that feel complex, painful, beautiful, or hard to name. Working with me might include engaging with the natural world, fostering connection to the body’s innate wisdom, and exploring the collaboration between mind, body, and spirit. I draw from a blend of evidence-based practices, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 

• Harm Reduction Psychotherapy  

• Integrated Somatic Experiencing® Techniques 

• Relational-Cultural Therapy  

• Multicultural Therapy

• Nature Based Therapy 

These approaches help support insight, resilience, and growth—but always at your pace, in ways that align with your values.
