Director of Adult Services
East Grand Forks Clinic, Telemedicine

“I believe therapy works best when people feel genuinely understood, while also being supported and challenged to recognize how trauma, attachment experiences, and long-standing patterns may be negatively impacting their lives. My approach is practical and collaborative, helping people understand where those patterns came from, work toward a more regulated nervous system, develop healthier ways of coping and relating to others, and create meaningful, lasting change.”
