Hi, I’m Kay - I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist providing therapy services to the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin. I opened AnchorPoint Therapy Services intending to provide therapy services to first responders, their families, and the community who have experienced trauma and grief.

For me, this work is important both personally and professionally. I grew up in a first responder home, my dad was a volunteer firefighter in a small community. My family operated on the values close to those in public service - integrity, service, compassion, and respect. These values are at the foundation of my work. I’ve also witnessed and experienced grief firsthand which has been an anchor in the work I provide others. I believe our personal lived experiences and relationships with others will teach us more than any book ever will.

Throughout my experiences, I knew I wanted to find my way back to supporting those in the first responder community. I have made it my mission to learn the first responder culture and maintain my cultural competency and relationships through education opportunities, ride-alongs, and building relationships.

My clinical experiences have taught me that I work best with adults, I do see teenagers too. I have developed expertise in addressing the struggles that come with relational issues, grief and loss, and addiction. I help people cut through the bullsh*t that is weighing them down and finding healthier ways to manage the chaos of their lives.

When I’m not in the office you will find me outside exploring state parks, in a boat, training Banner, or buying more plants. I enjoy food and travel, often combining the two - visiting old favorites and trying new places. I love a good joke and use humor often!
