Guiding You Toward Brighter Days

I am a counselor who believes that everyone deserves a safe space to be heard. Why? Because I have a story and I needed to find a safe space. I was raised on a farm in southwest Minnesota and headed off to college after high school to pursue a degree in Elementary Education and Bible. Along the way, I met my first husband and started to raise my three children. That dream faded when the marriage ended in divorce. I needed a new safe space.

I ended up in my hometown, teaching as a single mom. Yet, my mental health was a mess. I needed help. God, through the many people and a wonderful new husband, started healing me. God also led me to pursue getting a master’s in Pastoral Counseling so I could help others with my own healing, experiences, and training. My own pain and trauma have now turned into the opportunity to help others through theirs.

Whether you’re navigating stress, relationship challenges, or big life changes, I listen first and work with you to find practical steps forward—together.

My approach is warm, evidence-based, and tailored to your goals. From individual therapy to couples and family sessions, I make it easy to start, stay, and succeed on your mental-wellness journey. No judgment—just genuine support.
