Curveball Counseling LLC

Compassion & Counseling
for Life’s Hardest Chapters

You're facing something big. Grief, illness, a life change, or maybe just the quiet sense that something needs to shift.

Here, you don’t have to face it alone.

For the past 20 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of people facing cancer, one of life’s toughest curveballs. I offer compassionate therapy and consultation rooted in real human connection, emotional resilience, and the belief that healing is possible—even in the shadow of loss, uncertainty and change.

Whether you're navigating cancer, chronic illness, caregiving, grief, or simply trying to hold yourself together during a hard season—I’m here to help you find steadiness, meaning, and your next step forward.

Individual Counseling

I specialize in counseling adults navigating cancer, chronic illness, caregiving, grief, and major life transitions. These experiences often bring emotional and existential weight, and therapy offers a space to tend to what hurts and explore what’s next. My approach is relational, compassionate, and grounded in practices like ACT, mindfulness, and CBT—always tailored to your story and your pace.

Couples Counseling

Cancer, caregiving, grief and significant life transitions can impact even the strongest relationships. I help couples reconnect, communicate more clearly, and face challenges as a team. Sessions focus on honesty, emotional attunement, and practical strategies to rebuild trust and connection. I am trained in the Gottman Method (Level I), and aim to find a balance between seriousness, levity, and progress in session.

Individual Clinical Supervision

I offer clinical supervision for pre-licensed therapists in Minnesota who are seeking thoughtful, supportive guidance as they grow their clinical skills and professional identity. My approach integrates evidence-based practices like CBT and ACT with mindfulness, relational work, and a strong focus on meaning-making in the face of complicated life experiences. I support clinicians in working with clients navigating cancer, chronic illness, grief, trauma, and life transitions, while also attending to the therapist’s own development, confidence, and sustainability in the work. Supervision with me is collaborative, reflective, and grounded in both clinical rigor, real-world practice, and heart.

Professional Consultation

I offer consultation for therapists seeking greater confidence in supporting clients facing cancer, chronic illness, or caregiving. This work can stir deep questions around grief, identity, and meaning along with personal feelings of fear, doubt and sadness. I provide a steady, reflective space to navigate it all. With 20 years of experience, I help clinicians show up with clarity, presence, and compassion when there’s no easy fix. If your clinical work is raising complicated questions, tough emotions, and leaving you searching for how to better support yourself and your clients, let’s talk.
