I graduated from the University of North Dakota School of Medicine & Health Sciences in 2020 where I obtained my Master's degree in Occupational Therapy. I also have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology which I obtained from Bethel University in St. Paul, MN in 2016. I always knew I wanted to have a practice which integrated both physical and mental health, and I started Level Ground in 2020 to do just that. I specialize in mental health and nervous system regulation as an occupational therapist.  I have also done extensive research studying the mind-body connection and have received education in variety of therapeutic approaches including CBT, ERP, and ACT.

I have always had a passion for helping and serving others. But my motivation to help others find freedom dramatically increased because of my own struggle with OCD, panic attacks, depression and chronic physical symptoms. I spent a lot of time, money and energy on resources, supplements and quick fix options which failed me time and time again. I know what it feels like to lose hope and to feel like there is no way out of that desperate place. 

Today I can say with confidence that there is healing available for you. I will not promise you a quick fix. With all my clients, I emphasize the importance of viewing healing as a process -- a journey. But it is a journey worth taking and one you should not have to walk alone.

I believe both mental and physical health play a vital role in achieving optimal quality of life, and I include aspects of both in the services I offer. I also offer a faith-based approach to care and recognize faith as an important aspect of recovery. I truly value each client I have the opportunity to serve.

 

I would love to get in touch with you.
