Deciding to start therapy takes courage. It can be difficult to open up to someone new. Therefore, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for exploration is essential for healing to occur and is a priority in my work. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, trauma-informed and goal oriented. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am also trained in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and incorporate mindfulness concepts, like self-compassion and nonjudgment into therapy.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and owner of Northstar Center, PLLC. I treat individuals 13 and up who have anxiety, depression, and trauma disorders. I also help adolescents and young adults navigating life transitions. I have experience working in outpatient centers, psychiatric inpatient hospitals, and private practices.
