About Me

Welcome to Contentful Counseling! I provide professional counseling services to adolescents, adults and couples. I received my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and my BA from the University of Northwestern (St. Paul). I also hold an advanced certificate on perinatal mental health (PMH-C). I believe the best gift a parent can give to their child(ren) is to commit to their own mental well-being, therefore, I am passionate about equipping parents with the necessary tools to do this. I am a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors and Postpartum Support International (PSI).

 Clients have described me as gentle, personable, patient and responsive. I relate well with others and value each person’s unique identity and story. My counseling approach is first and foremost client-centered, followed by an integration of several modalities. As I listen to your life story and goals, I help to create a treatment plan that suits your needs and desires. I am basic trained in EMDR. Additionally, I enjoy using internal family systems (IFS), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) within my counseling practice. Issues I am equipped to work with are: anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, spiritual issues and others.

Outside of the counseling hour, I take great joy in being with my family, spending time outside running or biking. I am also an active member in my local church body.
