ABOUT ME

I grew up on a farm in south central Minnesota. Though experiences in my life afforded me the opportunity to live elsewhere in the country, I was happy to return. In 2010, my spouse and I moved to Fairmont where, in 2011, I joined Eunoia Family Resource Center. Since then, I have welcomed two children who have provided me with a world of adventure. In 2023, I relocated to Mankato and now provide services in both the Mankato and Fairmont offices.

EDUCATION

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Hamline University in 2004 with majors in psychology and criminal justice, a certificate in forensic science and a minor in anthropology. I completed my Master of Arts degree in forensic psychology in 2007 at the Center for Forensic Studies at Alliant International University, Fresno, California. I completed my Doctor of Psychology degree in clinical psychology in 2009 at the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, Fresno, California.

WORK EXPERIENCE

My experiences have included working with families, couples and individuals from varying backgrounds with a variety of difficulties on an outpatient basis. I also have experience providing individual and group therapy, as well as psychological testing. I have provided crisis and in-home services to individuals in rural, under-served areas in which access to therapeutic services was limited. I have worked with at-risk youth, both in and out of residential treatment. My current direct clinical care is focused on individual care only with ages 10 and up.
