I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, (LPCC #cc00636). I work in Minneapolis MN with adults and adolescents that are 14 years old or older.
I was born into a family of seven and was raised in the central part of Wisconsin where there was a lot of outdoor time and country living. From an early age I inquired into some of the most basic questions found in therapy: "Why are we here? Where do we come from? and Where are we going?"
I moved to Minnesota about 20 years ago where I completed my undergraduate degree in Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota. I then went on to complete a Masters of Arts degree in Counseling and Psychological Services at the University of St. Mary's Minnesota. I have had many exciting jobs: I am a veteran of the United States Air Force, I am a practiced professional massage therapist with a few years working at a high-end clothing retailer here in the Twin Cities. I currently live in Burnsville, MN with my lovely wife and my 6 children.
I know my education and various occupations contribute greatly to my core sense of self and I utilize these strengths when working with my clients.
