Meeting you at life's crossroads.

When I began my private practice, I decided it was time to shake things up a little in Bemidji, MN. That is why I decided that my motto really describes my approach, and not that I made it the other way around as some catchy, but futile phrase. 

Through counseling services, I hope you can learn how to see the highest value of yourself, your time and your health; I hope that you will be able to identify your potential and create direction to allow you to feel confidence, hope and understand the tools for lasting change.

I provide tailored and effective evidence-based mental health and substance use treatment options to the local community. I decided to open my own small entrepreneurial counseling services in an effort to meet busy lives.

WHAT TO EXPECT

I want our sessions together feel as relaxed as they would be in-person. I like to be real with my clients; I am a person, too, and as my life experiences may benefit you, I may share some stories that you may connect with. I recommend my clients to light a candle, grab some coffee, tea or water and feel comfortable while we visit.

 

New to services?

All new clients will first need a Diagnostic Assessment unless inquiring about consulting or coaching services. I will try to tailor your services around your needs; you are not a one size fits all. What if I do the assessment and we are not a good fit? No worries! We may not jive well together or perhaps I know someone else who may better serve your presenting concerns. I would rather you walk away from counseling thinking, "Wow! That was awesome and super helpful!" then regret your experience and time spent. All I ask of you is to communicate with me. I am awful at mind reading.

Lastly, I actually am really excited to get to working with you and would like to commend you now on taking your health seriously. You are pretty awesome!

Life success is more like creating an internal switch; although our trek is long and difficult, we must be able to see the beauty and importance in it’s lessons; and experience in the joys of all lightness, versus carry around the ruts and sorrows of the darkness.
