Complex Trauma Specialist

Clinical Supervisor, MN Board of Psychology and MN Board of Behavioral Health & Therapy

DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician, Retired

Welcome! I am a licensed psychologist and complex trauma specialist with extensive experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. My passion and purpose is helping my clients create a life they truly love.

With a career spanning over 40 years and a warm, empowering approach, I help people untangle complex issues. While I work with people at every stage of recovery and self-actualization, I am well-known for my successful work with people suffering from severe, complex and life-threatening issues.

I also work with folx who have found their way out of the dark forest and are building out their lives, who want to explore who they are and who they are becoming, who want to empower their process and navigate masterfully with a partner in self-actualization.

If you are struggling overwhelming emotions or out-of-control behaviors, if you can’t seem to shake a terrible experience (or stop them from repeating), if you feel like giving up, if you need support and guidance through a big life change or decision, if you are ready to make changes and need the motivation and skills to make it happen, I am here to partner with you, and I am committed to helping you reach your goals.

Treatment modalities offered include but are not limited to:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

Transpersonal counseling integrating nature-centered mindfulness and ecotherapy in office, by teletherapy or together out in nature, Qigong, creative visualization and meditation techniques

Complex trauma work tailored to your needs and preferences, incorporating approaches such as EMDR, DBT, psychodynamic trauma work, Qigong, polyvagal and Somatic Experiencing™ techniques, and ecotherapy.

Ketamine Integration Sessions

My practice is queer and trans-affirming and sensitive to the traumatic effects of systemic and structural oppression of BIPOC people and others. As a straight, cis-gendered, white bodied woman, I strive humbly to show up with integrity for every client.

In my free time, I have fun inventing delicious vegan recipes, community singing, sharing good times with my son and friends, tinkering, camping and paddling, and justice activism. I am a passionate human and natural rights advocate and defender- see you out in the street!
