I believe people in difficult situations thrive when they are able to connect and feel heard. I became a counselor to listen, offer empathy, and attempt to understand client struggles. I received my Master of Arts degree in Counseling from the University of North Dakota. I enjoy working with children and their families, and am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT). I am also interested in working with individuals who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, crafting, or quilting.
