My Story
Being a social worker and helping support others has been my passion for over 20 years. I became a clinical social worker so that I could help individuals work towards improving their quality of life through supportive mental health care. My experience has primarily been in various health care settings working with adults of all ages with a wide array of physical and mental health diagnoses. I hold a Master’s Degree and am a Licensed Graduate Social Worker in the state of Minnesota. My primary goal is to provide support and compassion to my clients as we become partners on their mental health journey.
Professional Experience
Life is full of transitions and some of these can be quite challenging emotionally and difficult to navigate on our own. We can experience depression or anxiety during these times. We may also experience emotional or relational difficulty which can stem from previous traumas that we are bringing forward with us.
I believe seeking therapy should be viewed as a strength rather than a weakness for individuals. I recognized that it can be anxiety provoking to seek therapy knowing you will be sharing your story including the challenges you are facing, and this can make someone feel very vulnerable. As your partner on this journey, I will provide you a safe, confidential space where you can feel at ease sharing your experiences. As partners we will create an individualized treatment plan with goals focusing on one’s strengths as well as identifying support systems that can be utilized to improve outcomes.
I work with adult individuals with a variety of issues some of which are grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic health concerns, strained relationships and life transitions. I utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities some of which are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Center Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I find it an honor to provide support while focusing on each individual’s inherent strengths.
Clinician Specialties
Grief & Bereavement Counseling
Bereavement and grief aren’t light-hearted topics. Bereavement refers to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one, and grief is a reaction for any form of loss. Both encompass a wide range of emotions such as fear, anger and deep, deep sadness.
The process of adapting to a loss can dramatically change from person to person, depending on his or her background, beliefs, relationship to the person who’s passed, and other factors.
Common symptoms of grief can be physical, emotional or social.
Counseling for Anxiety
Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective?
If this sounds like you, Mindfully Healing can help. Our practice offers the most effective forms of treatment, to get relief from the anxiety that you deserve.
When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.
Counseling for New Mothers
For new moms, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about motherhood that don’t seem “right.”
For some women, a morning run, a healthy diet and receiving help and support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the initial adjustment period. For others, talking to a therapist who specializes in dealing with new motherhood issues can be comforting, relieving and enlightening.
Therapists who have extensive education and training in post-partum disorders understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms.
Counseling for Trauma
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster.
While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
Online Counseling
Mindfully Healing clinicians are now offering video telehealth therapy services to both new and established clients.
Therapy for Depression
Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self? You might be feeling depressed or deep despair.
"Mindfully Healing embraces a personal growth based model unlike a problem or deficiency based model of traditional mental health... Our clients experience this during their first session."
Services and Pricing
Why Private Pay is Beneficial for Some Clients?
- Insurance does not cover relational difficulties such as couples and family therapy, they require a DSM-V diagnosis for one of the members. As a fee-for-service provider, I do not have to give you a mental health diagnosis.
- Mental health diagnoses can follow you and be documented on health records and can result in affecting life insurance applications, health insurance applications and other benefits or services.
- Together, we can determine how many times we meet instead of the insurance company making that decision.
- Since a treatment plan, notes and billing information are not being released to an insurance company, a greater amount of confidentiality is in place for you.
