What's My Approach to Therapy?

I take it quite seriously. I have always been the person others can confide in and know there is no risk of judgment. I am proud of that and will understand the gravity of your vulnerability and fear of trust. I'm here to listen to your story, and feel it is important that my clients get an education on the therapeutic process, skill building, training, and accountability. I come to this field with 25+ years of experience in human services across multiple settings. I founded Sunrise Promise Therapy, and we do therapy and medication management. I have worked with people who struggle with anxiety, mood conditions, self-harm, anger, and chronic illness. I am sex positive, kink-ally, and an ally.
I completed my two bachelor's degrees and my Master's in Counseling from Upper Iowa. I am trained in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and crisis management. My goal for you is to provide an environment where you can explore your interests, develop your goals, determine your strengths, and move toward your aspirations.

My Practice & Services

I believe that healing happens when care is compassionate, collaborative, and comprehensive. I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way. I offer personalized mental health services for individuals. and will work to support your emotional well-being and mental health goals. If you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), life transitions, borderline personality (BPD), seeking a psychosexual evaluation, or simply looking to deepen self-understanding, I am here to help. I will bring warmth with a side of snarky. I offer in-person and telehealth appointments to meet you where you're most comfortable. Whether you're looking for short-term support or long-term growth, I am committed to helping you move forward.
