About Me
Therapist. Clinical Supervisor. Biller. Psychedelic-Trained.
I’ve spent more than a decade working in mental health, and somewhere along the way I discovered that I’m one of those unusual therapists who genuinely enjoys the parts of the field that make a lot of people want to throw their computer across the room.
Complex insurance problem? Interesting.
Billing issue that makes absolutely no sense? I want to figure out why.
Clinical situation with five different layers and no obvious answer? Let’s untangle it.
My work has grown out of that combination of clinical experience, curiosity, systems thinking, and a genuine interest in helping people make complicated things feel more manageable.
My Clinical Background
I’m a Minnesota Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with more than 10 years of experience in the mental health field.
My clinical work has included trauma, anxiety, nervous system regulation, somatic approaches, clinical supervision, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and work with people whose experiences don’t always fit neatly into a textbook or treatment manual.
I tend to approach clinical work with curiosity rather than certainty. I believe good therapy—and good consultation—leaves room for complexity, nuance, and the possibility that there may be more than one useful way to understand what is happening.
The Systems Side of My Brain
I am one of those odd therapists who really like numbers, patterns, systems, and puzzles.
Over the years, my work expanded beyond the therapy room into billing, insurance, operations, documentation systems, workflows, policies, and the behind-the-scenes pieces that keep mental health practices functioning.
Somewhere along the way, I became the person people called when an insurance problem got complicated.
That experience eventually became a significant part of my professional identity. I enjoy helping clinicians and practices understand what is happening inside their systems, identify where things are getting stuck, and build processes that actually make sense for the humans who have to use them.
Psychedelic & Experiential Work
I have a growing professional focus in psychedelic-assisted therapy, particularly ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, psychedelic integration, harm reduction, somatic work, and altered states of consciousness.
I’m interested in approaches that allow people to experience therapy—not just intellectually understand themselves.
My work in this area is trauma-informed, experiential, and grounded in curiosity. I don’t believe every experience needs to be interpreted, explained, or analyzed. Sometimes the work is simply noticing what emerged, listening to the body, and exploring what feels meaningful afterward.
Becoming Grounded Integration
Grounded Integration grew out of the overlap between all of these parts of my work.
It is a place for clinical supervision, professional consultation, practice systems problem-solving, and connection to the more experiential and psychedelic-informed areas of my clinical work.
The common thread is pretty simple:
Making room for the complicated, the curious, and the unexpected.
