Mobile Crisis Services Scott County Supervisor
I believe therapy should be a collaborative and supportive space where you feel safe, respected, and understood. My approach is grounded in a systemic and culturally responsive lens, meaning I consider not only your individual experiences, but also your relationships, family dynamics, and broader life context. I work to help you make sense of your experiences, build on your strengths, and develop tools that support healing and growth. I approach this work with curiosity, compassion, and transparency, and I value creating a space where you feel empowered to share your story at your own pace.

I enjoy activities that help me stay grounded and present, such as being outdoors, trying new foods, and engaging in meaningful conversations.

Mobile Crisis Clinician
I believe it is important to see the whole person, rather than just the issues that brought them to you. Mental health is not a “one size fits all” and therefore should not be approached that way. Everyone does not experience depression or grief in the same way, so understanding the whole person is vital to assisting them in their recovery.
My professional experience includes working in rural Minnesota as a supervisor at a residential facility for at-risk females who were victims of sex trafficking. This is the moment I decided to return to school and obtain my clinical degree because I found that many of the girls looked like me, and could benefit from a cultural approach. After 5 years, I moved back to the Twin Cities metro area and worked as a case manager for both adults and children which I found rewarding as I watched clients evolve by accomplishing their goals. I have also worked as a therapist in an adolescent day treatment in Hennepin County and a school-based therapist in Anoka.
My approach explores the intersection of language and identity, with a focus on African American Vernacular English and its impact on communication in clinical settings.
I enjoy shopping, skydiving, watching true crime, cooking, and spending time with my family and beloved dogs, Cocoa & Chloe. My favorite season is summer, so I love to spend time on the patio with my friends.
Fun fact: I am also working towards being a master skydiver and will hopefully pass the test in the Spring 2026.

Outpatient Clinical Trainee
As a Clinical trainee, I find it important to create a therapeutic connection and space where individuals can come and feel comfortable while we collaboratively work to learn, unlearn, build awareness, and be mindful of patterns that may or may not need changing (etc.). Together will find the tools that will help you bridge the gap between where you are right now and where you want to be by getting into your mind and body!
I have been working diligently to become a part of the mental health community by going to school for my bachelor’s degree in psychology and my master’s degree in co-occurring disorders and addictions counseling. I have my Alcohol and Drug license (LADC) and I’m currently pursuing my second license as a Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). In the meantime, I take it upon myself to continue my learning journey and focus on therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Strengths-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and a holistic Person-Centered approach that respects the unique intersecting factors that make up each person.
While I am passionate about mental health I also love getting out in nature (hammocks at regional parks!), animals (currently have three kitties that I might be allergic to), books (love lots of fantasy fiction and sci-fi), time with loved ones, and a good laugh. I welcome all the jokes, even the knock-knock ones!

Crisis Mental Health Practitioner
My goal is to is to educate my clients on all the resources they have available to them and help them tackle any obstacles or challenges they are facing. I want my clients to feel empowered and supported through this journey we call life.
I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in Sociology. I continued my education and received a master’s degree in k-12 school counseling. I was a school counselor for six years working with ages 6-21 on social, emotional, and career goals. I am very passionate about trauma Informed schools and wanted to incorporate that on a larger level, so I went back to school to get my master’s in educational leadership and was a principal for four years. I missed working one on one with clients and helping them be successful in their lives which is what brought me to Canvas Health. I am also working on getting my license in Alcohol and Drug Counseling.
When my family and I aren’t running around with sports (hockey, soccer, swimming, basketball, track, dirt biking and baseball), you will most likely find us outside (fishing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, ATVing, walking out chocolate late, swimming at the beach).

Mobile Crisis Clinical Trainee
I believe in every human being’s capacity to change. You’re in the driver’s seat of your life while I ride along with a roadmap of options that may have worked for others, but you’re the one who chooses the route. My approach to anti-oppressive care is systems-oriented, collectivistic, trauma responsive, and grounded in harm reduction. I view symptoms as ways of adapting that serve us in crisis but don’t support our long-term wellbeing. I want you to know that you deserve more. We may not be able to control our environments, but we can choose how we want to respond and engage with the world.
I have primarily supported individuals navigating serious and persistent mental illness, substance use disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual violence, domestic violence, and child sexual abuse. My experience prior to mobile crisis includes group work, intensive residential treatment services for co-occurring disorders, victim support advocacy, medical advocacy, legal advocacy, systems navigation for behavioral health home case management, and permanent supportive housing. I use techniques from psychiatric rehabilitation, solution-focused brief therapy, narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other skills-based approaches. I am a certified victim support advocate and have additional training in recovery strategies for co-occurring disorders, grief and ambiguous loss, trauma-focused CBT, and CBT for psychosis.
I have two dogs (Pancake and Bananas) and love hiking, road trips, card/board games, meditation, and mutual aid in my free time. Outside of work, I volunteer and do research on community capacity-building. My previous research focused on new treatments for PTSD and moral injury in veterans, how intersectionality impacts perceptions of sexual violence, and harm reduction.
