Olivia earned her Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Wisconsin–Superior before completing the Advanced Standing Master of Social Work program at the University of Minnesota Duluth. She has been providing psychotherapy since 2024 and primarily works with children, adolescents, and young adults. She is passionate about helping clients better understand themselves, build confidence, and develop effective coping strategies to navigate life's challenges.

Olivia utilizes evidence-based treatment approaches tailored to each individual, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). She has completed Basic Training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). When working with younger children, she also incorporates developmentally appropriate behavioral strategies to support skill building and positive behavior change. She believes in creating treatment plans that are collaborative, individualized, and focused on developing practical skills that clients can apply in everyday life.

Olivia has experience working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, panic disorder, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), emotional regulation difficulties, behavioral concerns, eating disorders, self-esteem concerns, trauma, life transitions, and other mental health concerns. She is committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

Whether working with children, adolescents, or young adults, Olivia strives to make therapy approachable, practical, and personalized to each individual's unique needs and goals. She believes meaningful progress happens through a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, collaboration, and compassion.

Olivia offers both in-person and telehealth psychotherapy services for clients located in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Outside of the office, Olivia enjoys spending time with her husband and son, reading psychological thrillers, taking on creative projects, and exploring new adventures together.

FAQ:

What can I expect during my first appointment?

The first appointment is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, review your history, explore your goals, and determine the best treatment approach for your needs. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, supported, and confident as we begin working together.

What does therapy look like when working with younger children?

Therapy with younger children is tailored to their developmental needs and may look different from traditional talk therapy. Depending on the child, I may incorporate games, activities, visual supports, behavioral strategies, coping skills, and positive reinforcement to help make therapy engaging and meaningful. I also value working collaboratively with parents and caregivers when appropriate to help support progress outside of sessions.

Can you collaborate with my child's school or other providers?

Yes. When appropriate and with your written consent, I enjoy collaborating with schools, primary care providers, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and other professionals involved in your or your child's care. Collaboration can help ensure everyone is working toward the same goals and provide more coordinated support.

How do I know if Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is right for me?

We'll first discuss your concerns and determine whether ART is an appropriate treatment option based on your goals and needs. If we decide it's a good fit, ART sessions are typically scheduled for approximately 60 minutes and are incorporated into your overall treatment plan.
