Healing starts when you find a safe place to land.

No consultation call is required. Life is already busy, and I don't want to add another step to your already full schedule. Instead, you can simply text or call my secure line at 320-228-4007 to get started. All communication takes place through a secure, HIPAA-compliant client system, so your privacy is always protected.

I'll respond within 2–3 business days to answer any questions you may have and, if it feels like we're a good fit, we'll schedule your intake session together. If I don't believe I'm the best fit for your needs, I'll gladly help connect you with other trusted therapists or resources that may be a better match. My goal is to help you find the support that's right for you, whether that's with me or someone else.

This depends on a lot of factors. Most clients start with weekly sessions, and we can adjust the frequency over time based on your needs and goals. Every client is different, and I’ll always develop a unique treatment plan to make sure the schedule works for you.

The short answer is no. I operate as a private-pay practice and accept payment at the time of your session, rather than billing insurance companies directly. If you’d like to use your out-of-network insurance benefits, I can provide a superbill upon request, which is a detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan, so I encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to better understand your benefits.

I accept credit, debit, and HSA/FSA cards. Payments are processed securely through the client portal at the time of your session.

SimplePractice is the secure client portal I use for scheduling, intake paperwork, secure messaging, and payment. It’s HIPAA-compliant, which means your information stays private and protected.

Before your first appointment, you’ll complete some intake paperwork through the client portal. This gives me a better understanding of your background, what’s bringing you to therapy, and how I can best support you moving forward.

That’s more common than you might think! Many clients come in feeling nervous or unsure of what to expect. There’s no pressure to have the “right” words or dive into everything immediately. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and I’ll guide you through what to expect along the way.

In many cases, yes. Depending on scheduling and availability, clients may switch between in-person and virtual sessions as needed. For telehealth appointments, you must be located in Minnesota at the time of the session.

All you need is a quiet, private space, a reliable internet connection, and a phone, tablet, or computer with audio & video capability.

I understand that life happens. Busy days, traffic, and unexpected delays are part of being human. If you’re running late, your session will still end at the scheduled time out of respect for other clients’ appointments, and the full session fee will still apply.

It truly depends on the season and the current schedule, but limited early morning or evening appointments may be available, on a case-by-case basis.
