About me
Hi, I'm Mindy! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from Sacramento, California, where I grew up and received my education. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology, as well as a Masters of Social Work from California State University, Sacramento. I have been working in the field of Human Services since 2006, including providing services for individuals with developmental disabilities, and in community mental health settings. I have worked in a variety of roles as a Case Manager, Service Coordinator, Mental Health Clinician, and Director. In 2017, I decided to become location independent and started my own online private therapy practice. Since then have worked with many people from diverse backgrounds, primarily treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, relationship and attachment related issues, challenges related to major life transitions (including those related to being an expat), LGBTQ+ related issues and more.
In 2019, I married my Danish wife and moved to beautiful Copenhagen, where I have been working with clients online ever since. As a queer therapist who was also raised in the Mormon faith, I have personal experience in healing from religious trauma and a particular interest in supporting the LGBTQ+ population with affirming care.

Approach
I take my clients’ mental health and other issues very seriously, but I also use humor in my approach and firmly believe in the healing power of laughter! Once we get to know each other a little bit, we will work collaboratively to determine what issues are bothering you most and make a plan to address them and work towards solutions. I pride myself on being able to see the big picture and help you make new connections which will help you understand yourself and what you want better.
I am formally trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy and tend to approach things from a Humanistic and Feminist Theory lens. I am also well versed in Attachment Theory and how to heal our attachment wounds to improve the quality of our romantic relationships. I am eclectic in that I tend to teach skills and use interventions from a variety of theoretical orientations, based on individual need. My goal will always be for you to have a safe space to process, learn to look at problems in new ways, and learn concrete skills for coping with future stressors.
