Your Life Doesn’t Have to Follow the Pattern Your Pain Created
Therapy for individuals navigating trauma, addiction, and the survival strategies that once kept you safe but now keep you stuck.
I offer virtual trauma-informed therapy across Minnesota and Arizona. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that formed in pain — not to judge them, but to understand them — and gently make room for new ways of living that feel steadier, safer, and more aligned with who you truly are. Your patterns were protectors, not definitions. You’re allowed to grow with and beyond them.
Therapy Helps You Change the Patterns You Were Never Meant to Live Inside
Most people come to therapy because they’re tired of holding everything together — not because they’re falling apart.
Years of surviving through addiction, numbing, people-pleasing, caretaking, or constant self-protection can leave you feeling stuck. That makes sense. My role isn’t to push you. It’s to help you slow down, understand what’s driving your patterns, and reconnect with the parts of you that are ready for something different. You don’t have to keep living in survival mode.
Healing Doesn't Happen Through Pressure
It happens through connection — to yourself, to others, and to the parts of your story that have been waiting for understanding.
My approach is grounded in trauma-informed care, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR. But more than anything, it’s grounded in relationship. People grow when they feel safe, seen, and supported — not analyzed or pushed.
Here’s what it feels like to work with me:
Steady and paced
We move slowly enough for your nervous system to stay present, and quickly enough to keep you moving forward.Collaborative, not prescriptive
I don’t tell you who to be. We work together to uncover who you already are beneath the patterns you developed to survive.Compassion for coping
Addiction, numbing, shutting down, people-pleasing — these are not character flaws. They’re adaptations. And adaptations can change with understanding.Connection as the foundation
As you reconnect with yourself — your values, your body, your emotions, your higher purpose — new possibilities naturally emerge.Evidence-based support
EMDR helps resolve the stuck places.
MI strengthens your motivation and direction.
Trauma-informed therapy ensures we never move faster than your system can tolerate.
Healing isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about becoming someone you no longer have to run from.

Support That Meets You Where You Are
Therapy Services Designed for Real-Life Challenges
From trauma and anxiety to identity shifts and emotional overwhelm, each service is built to help you understand your patterns, regulate your nervous system, and move toward lasting change. Every approach is trauma-informed, grounded, and tailored to your needs.
Trauma Therapy & EMDR
EMDR helps your nervous system reprocess trauma without reliving every detail. I work with developmental trauma, attachment wounds, PTSD, and single-incident experiences to support healing, safety, and a steadier connection to yourself.
Anxiety & Stress
Using CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, we work to understand triggers, calm your nervous system, and reduce reactivity. Therapy focuses on grounding, regulation, and building steadier ways to relate to stress and uncertainty.
Depression & Mood
Depression can disconnect you from energy, meaning, and direction. We explore contributing factors while building supportive structure, gentle routines, and values-based movement to help you reconnect with purpose and create sustainable forward progress.
Addiction & Recovery
I provide trauma-informed recovery care focused on understanding patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, and rebuilding identity beyond substance use. Therapy supports relapse prevention while helping you reconnect with purpose, self-trust, and a life that feels sustainable.
Life Transitions & Identity
Major life changes can unsettle your sense of self and direction. Therapy helps you make sense of shifting roles, relationships, grief, and purpose while reconnecting with who you are and who you’re becoming.
Men’s Mental Health
Therapy offers a grounded space to explore anger, emotional literacy, burnout, relationships, identity, and internal pressure. We focus on developing healthier ways to understand emotions, build connection, and live with greater authenticity.
Mindfulness-Based Approaches
Mindfulness builds awareness of emotions, body sensations, and internal cues. Therapy helps you respond with intention rather than react from survival mode, supporting greater presence, self-regulation, and connection in daily life.
