I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), and I have been in the mental health field, in some capacity, since 2005. I currently serve as the Quality and Compliance Director and Outpatient Clinical Director at Range Mental Health Center in Virginia, Minnesota. I am also an approved supervisor through the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy (BBHT). I am licensed to practice in both Minnesota and Nevada. Over the course of my career, I have taken on leadership roles while staying connected to the heart of clinical work—supporting people through change, growth, and challenging life experiences.

I am especially passionate about working with older teens and young adults who are thinking about their future, their careers, goals, and the kind of impact they want to make. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Managing and Adapting Practice (MAPS), and I believe strongly in using skills, confidence, and self-advocacy to move forward. I enjoy talking with young people about building a career in mental health or leadership, navigating setbacks, finding your voice, and trusting that your goals matter. My hope is to empower young adults to see themselves as capable leaders and professionals—and to know that with persistence, support, and self-belief, they can create meaningful, successful lives on their own terms.
