Experience - I have been working in the field of psychology for 20+ years. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology. Prior to opening up my private practice, I worked in community mental health in a variety of organizations including Washburn Center for Children, Canvas Health (formally HSI), and a day treatment program at St. Joseph’s Home for Children. All of my experience has revolved around children, teens, and young adults. Over the years my work has included:


  • • Individual, family, and group therapy
  • • Parent support and consultation
  • • Diagnostic assessment
  • • Consultant for Minneapolis Public School teachers
  • • Psychological testing/evaluation
  • • Training and supervision of Masters, Doctorate, and Post-Doctorate level interns
  • • Quality assurance training and assessment
  • • Teaching at the college level as an adjunct professor (Argosy University)

About me: - I’m so blessed to have a job that I love so much and brings me so much meaning and joy to my life. Clients would probably describe me as friendly, down to earth, and compassionate. I am married and have three children: a daughter, a stepdaughter, and a stepson. In my spare time, I love to hike, cross country ski, and travel. I’m also obsessed with our family’s dog, Bailey. He is an adorable, extremely spoiled cavapoo who could easily star in his own youtube channel or grace the cover of a calendar.


Insurance

I am in-network with BCBS, Medica, and United Healthcare. I accept direct payment and take credit cards as well. If I am not in your network, many clients choose to use their HSA to cover the costs of treatment. It’s always a good idea to check with your insurance company to determine what is covered and what will be your responsibility.
