Spring I Online 3, 2022: March 18-20 & April 22-24

Welcome! I am a mental health therapist based in the Brainerd Lakes Area at Lakeview Behavioral Health. I believe that building trusting, results-oriented therapeutic relationships with clients by having them experience change in what they can see, feel and experience from the very start – is the basis of what should happen in every therapy room. I will ask you directly – “Where do you want to be in three months? How do you want to feel? What do you want to work on? What do you want to achieve in terms of mental and emotional health? And finally, I will ask “What would you rather feel”? I will help you get there if you are willing to show up and do the work.

My clinical focus is on helping people get unstuck and find lasting change. I provide a safe and cozy space where you will be heard and seen. In-person or through telehealth. I help clients find deep change that lasts, especially through EMDR, which helps your brain process painful experiences, so they become less distressing over time. It’s like giving your mind a chance to reorganize the pieces of the puzzle and find healing.

Once you start going through EMDR therapy, you’ll start to feel more in control of your emotions and reactions.

The things that used to bother you and weight heavy on your mind won’t have the same power over you anymore. Reach out to me to give EMDR a try. I offer EMDR Therapy through the Lightbar with 22 calming blue lights for bilateral visual stimulation, headphones for bilateral auditory stimulation, and bilateral tactile stimulation with ergonomically designed pulsers for your EMDR sessions.
