The name, From the Ashes Counseling, comes from the legends of the Phoenix that is reborn out of its own ashes. I believe that this powerful image symbolizes the capacity of each of us for change, growth, and renewal, despite the experiences in our lives that may burden us, or cause us to feel stuck.

I view my clients as the experts of their own experiences and journey and will strive to meet you where you’re at, and walk alongside you as you make desired changes. I enjoy working with those who feel challenged by anxiety, depression, relational challenges, low self-esteem, and difficulties navigating transitions. I am especially passionate about working with those who have endured past traumas and/or attachment wounds which impact their daily lives. If this sounds like you, I invite you to reach out to schedule a consultation.

I am a Master’s-level Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), in practice since 2013, and a Minnesota Board of Marriage and Family Therapy-Approved Supervisor. I also currently serve as a Board Member for the MN Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. I work from a trauma-informed lens, am trained in a variety of models for addressing trauma, and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I accept most major insurances, and am also a MN Fire Initiative-approved provider and accept MNFire Assistance Program benefits to support the mental health of firefighters and their families.
