Protea Therapy Ltd is a private practice in Eagan MN dedicated to helping couples strengthen their relationships through the Gottman Method. The protea flower represents resilience and transformation, values that guide the work we do with couples who want to heal and grow together.

I am the founder and therapist at Protea Therapy Ltd. I became a therapist because I believe in the power of relationships and the way they shape, support, and challenge us.

Over the past 14 years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside many clients, but my greatest passion has become helping couples create stronger, healthier partnerships.

I have completed Level 3 training in the Gottman Method and am currently working toward becoming a Certified Gottman Therapist. This model provides practical, research-based tools that help couples communicate more effectively, manage conflict, and deepen intimacy.

My clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and steady. I lead with compassion and honesty, creating a safe and collaborative space where both partners can bring their full selves and feel understood.

When I am not working with couples, I enjoy hiking, kayaking, and cross-country skiing. I also love traveling, exploring new cultures, and sharing good food with my husband, friends, and community.

Whether you want to rebuild trust, improve communication, or deepen your connection, I would be honored to guide you and your partner through the Gottman Method toward a healthier, stronger relationship.
