ABout ME
My Background & Training
Background
I grew up in Minnesota and feel a strong sense of connection to Minneapolis.
I began my career working in a community setting providing in-home therapy to people who are house-bound due to mental illness. From there, I worked in the county jail system providing therapy to incarcerated folks where I was able to work with individuals dealing with deep hardship and trauma. I received trauma-specific training while working at a private practice that specialized in treating individuals with complex trauma, and went on to spend some time working at an inpatient hospital helping individuals and their families navigate crisis-level mental health concerns.
I feel grateful for all my experiences as a therapist and the holistic view it has given me of the work that I do.
TRaining
I attended University of Minnesota undergraduate, receiving my B.A. in psychology and minor in French in 2018.
I then attended University of Minnesota Graduate School for my Masters degree, receiving an M.A. in Counseling in 2021.
