I provide psychotherapy at Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea and in Austin. Although I work with patients of all ages, my primary focus is with adults. For more than the past decade, I have been involved in varying community-based settings and programs.

I use compassion as I provide treatment to adults with serious and persistent mental illness. I believe that practical changes can lead to significant differences in a person’s life and well-being.
