Meeting Minnesota Domestic Violence Education Program Requirements
All programs are in accordance with Minnesota State Statute 518B.02 requirements
My Domestic Violence Education Classes are designed to meet the requirements and expectations established under Minnesota law and standards commonly utilized by courts, probation departments, and other referring agencies. The curriculum emphasizes client accountability, victim impact awareness, healthy relationship skills, emotional regulation, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral change while maintaining a trauma-informed framework that supports meaningful engagement and long-term success.
A critical component of an effective intervention program is collaboration with the criminal justice system. I work closely with referring Probation Officers and other court personnel by providing regular updates regarding attendance, participation, progress, and compliance with program requirements. Timely and accurate reporting helps ensure accountability while supporting informed decision-making by supervising authorities.
Domestic Violence Education Through Understanding, Awareness, and Change
Domestic violence is a complex issue that cannot be effectively addressed through a one-size-fits-all approach. I provide Domestic Violence Education Classes that integrate both trauma-informed principles and cognitive behavioral strategies to help participants understand the underlying factors that contribute to abusive and violent behavior. By exploring the impact of past experiences, beliefs, emotions, and learned patterns of behavior, participants gain insight into the drivers of their actions and develop healthier ways of thinking and responding. This dual approach is highly effective in identifying the roots of harmful behavior, challenging thinking patterns that support abuse, and promoting lasting behavioral change, accountability, and healthier relationships.
Real change begins with understanding, self-awareness, and the willingness to learn new ways of thinking and relating to others.

Meet Your Instructor
With over 36 years of experience in the domestic violence field, I have devoted my career to promoting safety, accountability, and healthy relationships. I am committed to helping individuals understand the impact of abusive behavior and develop the skills needed to create lasting positive change.
After working in many professional roles throughout my career, I chose to provide domestic violence education directly to participants because I believe personal education can have a powerful and lasting impact. My goal is to help people meet court requirements while gaining practical tools for building respectful, violence-free relationships and a healthier future.
Importance of Education
I understand the importance of clear, professional communication with courts, probation officers, attorneys, and other stakeholders. All inquiries and requests for information are addressed promptly, and reports are submitted in accordance with agency requirements and established timelines. My commitment to responsiveness and collaboration helps strengthen the effectiveness of the intervention process and supports positive outcomes for participants, victims, and the community.
Through a combination of evidence-based education, accountability, and strong partnerships with referring agencies, my program provides a comprehensive approach to reducing abusive behavior and promoting safer, healthier relationships.
