I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Minnesota and hold both a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology and a Certificate in Spiritual Direction from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology in Seattle, WA. I have also earned a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership from Bethel University in St. Paul, MN. More recently, I completed the Full Circle Enneagram Training and Certification and continue to participate in ongoing study of the Enneagram and its many applications.
In addition to providing psychotherapy and spiritual direction services in my private practice, I also serve on the faculty at Christos Center for Spiritual Formation and enjoy leading workshops and retreats.
I love good stories (whether I hear them in conversation, movies, or in a great novel), the thrill of sailing, travel, mountains, and being caught in surprise by beauty.
I have always been captivated by change, growth, and development. Prior to becoming a therapist, I enjoyed a fulfilling corporate career in organizational development and management education in a variety of healthcare companies as well as in a leadership development consulting firm. I have also served on the staff of several Twin City churches as an Associate Pastor and in various administrative functions. I loved watching an organization grow and was fascinated with the systemic effects of change and intentional leadership choices.
However, I eventually came to realize that the real juice is in the human interaction and in the courageous choices that individuals face and make. This epiphany led me to switch my focus to studying and working more directly with the human soul.
