I am Native American Ojibwe of the Red Lake Indian Reservation in Northern Minnesota.

When I was 18, I enrolled in the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and after graduation, I developed an interest in the restaurant and food business.

In 1987, I applied for a position at a newly opened upscale restaurant called Goodfellows and began working under the great Chef, Kevin Cullen. I began as a dishwasher and worked my way up to pastry chef.

I have now embarked on the path to social worker/ therapist. As a marginalized individual on the LGBTQ spectrum, I understand and can relate to the pressure and problems faced by all of us today.

My therapeutic style involves being a strong advocate that everyone can shape their future and I am here to assist you in doing just that. My therapeutic approach is person-centered therapy and my aim as a therapist is to help you reach your full potential as a human being.

It’s understandable to feel like your destiny is out of your control but I genuinely believe that with the proper guidance, anyone can unlock their full potential and achieve their dreams. Let’s work together to find that guidance and get you on the path to success.

I hate ordinary. I do not believe that anyone is ordinary and I genuinely enjoy helping people become comfortable with themselves, others, and the world around us. You may count on me to listen and share insights and journey with you as you grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
