Kurt’s path to the therapy room was shaped by discipline, resilience, and a long-standing commitment to service. After two decades in the Marine Corps, he retired from military service in 2021 and redirected that same steadiness, purpose, and care toward the field of mental health. His work as a therapist is not simply a second career; it is an extension of a life spent helping people navigate pressure, uncertainty, hardship, and change. Licensed in Minnesota and Virginia, Kurt is a certified EMDR therapist with training in evidence-based approaches including DBT and CBT. He works with clients facing anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, narcissistic personality disorder, trauma, and deeply ingrained relational or behavioral patterns. His clinical approach is calm, structured, and collaborative, helping clients make sense of what they have survived while building practical tools for the life they want to move toward. Kurt brings warmth without passivity and directness without judgment. Clients often find in him a steady presence: someone who can sit with pain, help organize what feels overwhelming, and support meaningful forward movement without rushing the process. Whether you are working through trauma, managing symptoms, rebuilding identity, or trying to get unstuck from patterns that no longer serve you, Kurt offers a grounded space where insight, strength, and change can take root.
