Born and raised on the storied Iron Range of northern Minnesota, I have always been deeply connected to my roots – both in the tight-knit community and the rugged landscape that shaped me. A lifelong enthusiast of ice hockey, I continue to defend the goal with passion and resilience, channeling the same determination and focus both on and off the rink.

Professionally, I bring this same dedication to my work as a counselor. I have faith in creating a supportive and understanding environment where individuals feel valued and heard. To me, each client is unique, and I approach every session with an open mind and a commitment to helping them navigate their challenges with compassion and empathy. Through our collaborative efforts, I strive to empower each person to discover and harness their own strengths to foster growth and positive change.
