I received my PhD in Counselor Education & Supervision in 2018 from the University of Iowa. I also have my Master’s degree from Saint Cloud State University located in Minnesota in Rehabilitation Counseling. I utilize many of the foundational concepts of rehabilitation counseling such as advocacy, and a larger systems approach to much of my work and therapeutic lens. I operate from a holistic approach exploring all aspects of a person and their environment and how this may be impacting their overall mental health and wellbeing. A primary belief that I hold about counseling is that it does not need to be only when we are experiencing a crisis or problem. Sometimes the intention of therapy can and should be to learn more about yourself, your relationships, and how your life experiences have impact you. 

I have experience in working individuals with a various disabilities such as neurological conditions like traumatic brain injury, stroke, Parkinson or other neuro-disabilities. Working with this specific population and given both my mental health and rehabilitation counseling training has provided me the tools to be successful in working with the adjustment population. I enjoy working with individuals who are experiencing life transitions, depression, and anxiety. 

The mission  of Counseling Perspectives is provide individualized quality mental health counseling services to adults in an all virtual setting. We focus on your problems and not the diagnosis and the strengths that you possess to help you achieve the change that you are desiring.
