Having my own practice is a dream come true. And for the last three years, I have had the privilege of being voted as one of Mankato’s Best.

But I can’t do it without you and your nominations! Having no employees or coworkers for added nominations, I rely entirely on getting the word out myself and hoping that gets me bumped into the running. I will continue to trust my small but mighty business model and how it honors my authentic, direct care.

So please like this post, share it on your page and tell others all about the importance of mental health and Wounded Haven! I’d be honored 🤍

Here's a fun fact: I proposed a mental health category for Mankato’s Best to The Free Press, highlighting the challenges of finding a therapist and its importance alongside other local services. There’s no health without mental health! So please keep nominating Wounded Haven Counseling, LLC. Vote daily for the rest of the month. To nominate, find the “Personal Care” section, then look for Wounded Haven under “Mental Health Providers”. I appreciate your continued love and support. As a solo underdog, I'll keep striving forward, small but mighty! Wounded Haven Counseling, LLC

As we step into the holiday season full of many feelings, we have the opportunity to do things different.

Here is a go-to visual reminder of how we as parents can keep ourselves in a position to be a safe container for our kiddos through regulation, as well as a reminder for how our dysregulation can quickly impact our kids if we don’t learn to understand our feelings and what our body is telling us.

Talk to your bodies, allow things to be felt, share messages of comfort and safety. Honor your needs. Create a routine or ritual that feels good to you and allows your most regulated and present self to show up. This may be through a good night’s sleep. A slow morning with coffee. Exercise. A dance party with your kids (or self!). Reading in a quiet space. Cleaning.

Whatever it is, plan ahead to the best of your ability. Bring things with you that you know bring safety and security in chaos.

Maybe that means driving separate and having a vehicle to leave when you need. Maybe that means bringing a book and taking 10 minutes away from people. Going for a short walk with music or a podcast to ground yourself.

Once you find some ideas for yourself, be the upstairs brain for your kiddos as they are going into these situations too and will look to you for emotional safety. We can show them how to work through all the feelings in healthy and appropriate ways. And to know it’s ok to take care of yourself first.

Also, there’s no time like the present to find yourself a great therapist who can walk through the feelings with you and work to heal some of the things you’re struggling to understand 🫶🏼

It’s time to be seen and heard.

On October 5, 2025, Wounded Haven turned 5!!!! To say the last five years went fast would be an understatement. Owning my own practice has been filled with joy, laughs, tears, hard work, and ups and downs with lessons along the way. I’m continuously grateful for those who have and continue to trust me with their care. It is an honor to walk with them on their journey and to be a trusted human in their life. The rarity of that is not lost on me. I am filled with so much gratitude for them.

I’m grateful for Kent, Konner and Kole, who fill me up with love and confidence so I can keep showing up. They are my favorite humans and greatest supports.

To many more years…Happy Birthday Wounded Haven 🤍✨

I’m so proud to announce Wounded Haven Counseling was voted 2nd place for Best of Mankato 2025!!!!! Many days I can easily question this path. It’s scary when you build a business on a model that not many attempt, and in a field that is misunderstood. But here we are, approaching our 5 year anniversary this Fall. I’m so grateful for those who continue giving Wounded Haven (Me!) love. Keep spreading the mission of Wounded Haven. Kindness, compassion and human connection. From all parts of my heart, thank you 💛

Yassss. I am so so proud when clients report back how they practiced boundaries. Even if the outcome isn’t what we necessarily hoped for, just know I’m like the proud dance mom in the front row! Cheering you on 🤍

Curious about therapy that isn’t just talk? I am trained in EMDR, ART and Anchored Relational Model (formally AIR network), all great ways to address trauma and the struggles that impact you today. Miley said EMDR and therapy saved her life!

Nearly all my sessions integrate aspects of these modalities, while working to foster a safe and healthy relationship with my clients. The relationship is the vehicle and the modalities are the different ways we read the map. Reach out today if you’re curious about therapy and want to change your life!
