About

Mission

The mission of Emerging Wellness is to provide therapy practiced in growth, authenticity, and real human connection.

This means creating a supportive space where clients feel seen, respected, and empowered to engage in meaningful change. Therapy here prioritizes safety, consent, and sustainability, honoring both emotional and physical experiences as essential parts of healing.

My goal is to support measurable growth that feels grounded and integrated into your real life, not rushed or forced. Together, we focus on building self-trust, awareness, and capacity in ways that feel aligned with who you are and who you are becoming.

Method

My method is rooted in the belief that meaningful change happens through awareness, attunement, and consistency over time.

Rather than following a rigid framework, therapy is shaped collaboratively around your needs, goals, and lived experience. We pay attention to patterns across thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and the body, noticing what feels supportive, what feels overwhelming, and what is ready to shift.

Sessions often integrate body-aware practices, skills-based support, and reflective conversation. This may include somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, parts-based exploration, and practical tools drawn from DBT. These methods are used flexibly and intentionally, guided by what feels most helpful and accessible to you.

Progress is approached with care and clarity. We check in regularly about what is working, what feels challenging, and how growth is showing up in your day-to-day life. The focus is on measurable, sustainable change that you can recognize and carry with you outside of sessions.

Throughout the process, consent, safety, and collaboration remain central. My role is not to direct or fix, but to support you in listening more closely to yourself and building capacity in a way that feels grounded, respectful, and real.

Therapy here is not about becoming someone else. It’s about supporting what is already emerging.

My Approach

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and deeply trauma-informed. I blend body-aware, somatic-oriented care to support safe reconnection with your body, DBT skills to build calm, clarity, and emotional regulation, and person-centered, strengths-based work where your story leads the way. I also integrate parts-based approaches and am working toward certification in Internal Family Systems (IFS), adding depth to how we understand your inner world.

Therapy is paced intentionally and guided by your nervous system rather than external expectations. There is no pressure to rush or perform. Instead, we move steadily and with care, allowing insight and change to unfold in a way that feels supportive and sustainable.

Consent, collaboration, and attunement are central throughout the therapeutic process. I am not here to fix you, but to support you in listening more closely to yourself, building self-trust, and creating a life that works with your needs, values, and capacity. My goal is to offer tools, insight, and a grounded presence so you can feel more like yourself again, even when life feels messy or overwhelming.

My Clients

I work with adults who are navigating complexity, transition, and the often invisible weight of everyday life.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware, and sensitive, yet feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or disconnected from themselves. I work with folks navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and the “invisible stuff” that’s hard to name but deeply felt. Long-standing patterns, emotional exhaustion, and overwhelm are common themes.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, misunderstood, or unsure where your symptoms end and you begin, you’re in the right place. Therapy here offers space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels grounded and supportive.

I often work with clients who:

Experience anxiety, depression, trauma, or chronic stress
Live with chronic illness or medical complexity
Feel emotionally or physically exhausted by long-standing patterns
Struggle with overwhelm, burnout, or nervous system dysregulation
Are navigating neurodivergence or challenges with focus and follow-through
Are exploring identity, values, or life transitions

My clients value therapy that feels honest, attuned, and human. I work with self-pay clients who value privacy and flexibility, and all sessions are offered via telehealth only. If you’re looking for therapy that feels supportive, grounded, and responsive to your needs, I’d be glad to connect.

Credentials

Psychology

I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling and Psychological Services with a certificate in Addiction Studies from the Saint Mary's University of Minnesota and bring a strong foundation in psychological theory, human development, and clinical practice. My work is informed by evidence-based understanding of trauma, emotional regulation, and the mind-body-spirit connection, with care taken to apply theory in ways that feel accessibly and human.

Therapy

I provide therapy to adults through secure and HIPAA-conscious telehealth. Sessions are collaborative, paced with intention, and grounded in safety, consent, and respect for your lived experience. Therapy is offered in a self-pay model that prioritizes privacy, flexibility, and care centered on you rather than insurance requirements.

Expertise

My clinical work supports individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness, burnout, neurodivergence, and long-standing patterns that leave them feeling overwhelmed or exhausted. I have particular experience working with the “invisible” aspects of mental and physical health that are often misunderstood or minimized.

Affiliations

I am independently licensed as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) and currently practice under clinical supervision of Dr. Tamarah Gehlen of Transformational Therapy Services while completing required hours toward LPCC licensure. I engage in ongoing supervision, consultation, and continuing education to support ethical, reflective, and high-quality care.

Approach

My approach is trauma-informed and body-aware, blending somatic-oriented care, DBT skills, and parts-based approaches. Therapy is guided by your nervous system rather than external expectations, with an emphasis on collaboration, attunement, and sustainable growth. I am also working toward certification in Internal Family Systems (IFS), further deepening my work with the inner world.

Achievements

My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience, allowing me to approach therapy with humility, depth, and care. I am committed to continual learning, anti-racist practice, and the integration of social justice principles into clinical work. My goal is to offer thoughtful, grounded support that helps clients build insight, self-trust, and measurable growth over time.
