I specialize in early childhood mental health issues, and have been trained in many evidence-based approaches that focus on trauma, attachment, as well as the birth-to-5-year-old population. I earned a Master of Science degree in Child Development and Family Science with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from North Dakota State University. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in Minnesota and North Dakota, and now serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of The Village Family Service Center. I have been employed by The Village since 1999.
