Welcome!
I am the owner and founder of Innate Counseling, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), and Psychotherapist specializing in role and identity exploration, grief and loss, and trauma healing.
My professional experience spans across a variety of communities including working with queer and gender affirming care; complex and developmental trauma; parents and caregivers of children with life threatening illness and injury; community practice working with individuals navigating various oppressive systems including but not limited to the Criminal Justice, Child Welfare and Healthcare systems in MN; legal systems including the Mitchell Hamline’s Institute to Transformation Child Protection and the Hennepin County Public Defender’s Office; as well as private practice offering individual and relational therapy. I additionally coordinate with a variety of providers and organizations in the Twin Cities areas supporting birth, adoptive and foster caregivers as well as individuals with chronic illness including HIV and aids.
I work with adults, couples and families in an effort to facilitate safety, healing, and wellbeing.

nice to know
We may not share the same experiences explicitly and that’s okay! We are depthful , layered human beings who share the quest of navigating through whatever life throws at us.
Here are a few helpful things to know about the ways in which I engage in shared spaces.
I am neurodivergent! For me, this may show up in our relationship with “squirrel” moments, sensory adjustments, creativity, curiosity, and authenticity.
I am queer and currently cis/het presenting.
It’s important to me to work in settings where I feel passion and aliveness in the work I am doing. This passion will be brought to the space we co-create!
I continuously work to challenge and check by own bias, privilege and distorted thinking to maintain a space that is anti-oppressive, anti-racist and safe for those I am working with.
