She is a licensed social worker with over 20 years of experience in the social work and mental health field, with a background in child protection, foster care and adoption, medical social work, and outpatient mental health.

Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and person-centered therapy, she supports clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and faith-related questions. Her approach is honest and supportive, often incorporating appropriate personal insight and a bit of humor to keep our work real, relatable, and meaningful.

Outside of work, you’ll find her on a long walk, enjoying coffee, getting lost in a good book, or near any body of water Minnesota has to offer (especially up North fishing with my dad). She values time with her husband, her three kids, and her two dogs! 

Ash & Willow is a virtual therapy and wellness space created by our therapist and founder, Jill.
