In practice for 35 years. providing TBI-informed behavior analysis, consultation, and education to individuals, caregivers, families, and professionals.
I have experience as both a brain injury survivor and as a psychotherapist. I have worked with the issues that a brain injury can bring. I accept most forms of insurance and Medicare.
I am an integrated talk and art psychotherapist. I'm a licensed professional counselor and a board certified registered art therapist. I have worked with individuals with brain injury for 9 years. I work with individuals, families and groups. Presently I work with the Glenwood Springs support group on a volunteer basis.
Therapist directed art activities work to provide client relief from depression, anxiety, anger and confusion. This form of therapy facilitates the development of a healthy, whole and loving sense of self. Art therapy works well with the brain injury population in the following ways:
1) Allows the individual express feelings and thoughts he/she does not know how to put into words or is physically unable.
2) Can facilitate the improvement of cognitive function, memory and kinetic skills.
3) Provides a safe way to communicate feelings, thoughts and experiences the individual deems too frightening or taboo to verbalize.
4) Allows the individual to safely discover repressed or new emotions they were not aware they had.

I am a survivor and Licensed Professional Counselor working with post-traumatic event recovery. I work with both adults and children, and I'm also Spanish-speaking. My approach to counseling integrates awareness of how thoughts, emotions, & behaviors are intertwined with physiology - especially post-trauma. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma processing, relationship repair, grief & loss, organizational planning, memory strategies, personal empowerment, negative belief habits, chronic pain, and communication skills. I believe in our ongoing capacity to heal, and I support my clients in their own unique process.
Treatment at Vinland is intended for people with disabilities who are chemically dependent. We serve adults ages 18 and older and offer assistance in arranging transportation to and from appointments at Vinland’s main campus. We meet the complex needs of adults with disabilities seeking treatment for drug and alcohol abuse, specializing in traumatic brain injuries and other cognitive issues. We also offer Neuropsych testing and most of our front-facing clinicians are CBIS Certified.
We treat co-occurring disorders and offer fully integrated mental health services. Clients participate in mental health groups and meet one-on-one with licensed mental health professionals. When appropriate, clients meet in-house with our psychologists and psychiatrists.
In addition, Vinland is known for its outstanding Therapeutic Exercise Program. A safe, slow, gentle, supervised physical reconditioning program, this is specifically offered at our residential program location. All clients receive a pre-assessment to determine their current functional capacity. After the assessment, an exercise physiologist designs a personal program to improve their strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, posture and body mechanics. Many of our clients have issues related to chronic pain, musculoskeletal injuries and/or traumatic brain injuries, which makes personalized programming a necessity.
Our program is designed for:
• Those who can benefit from a slower-paced, more individually –focused program.
• People living with disabilities such as brain injury, developmental disability and/or physical disabilities. Other neurobehavioral disorders we serve include Asperger’s Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Effect.
• Individuals dealing with simultaneous mental illnesses.
• Those who have had difficulty succeeding in traditional substance use disorder treatment programs, or those who have relapsed and need a new approach.
• We accept CTF, PMAPS, most insurance plans and private pay.
Situated on a hill overlooking Lake Independence in western Hennepin County, MN., Vinland’s main campus encompasses 178 acres of restored prairie land, woods and shoreline. It is a rural setting conveniently located just 20 miles west of Minneapolis and 45 miles south of St. Cloud.
