As your therapist, one of the most important jobs I have is to create a therapeutic environment that facilitates growth and positive change, for you. An essential part of creating that environment includes establishing a relationship built on trust, respect, acceptance, empathy and collaboration. I believe you will experience me as non-judgmental, genuinely engaged and authentic. Understanding your experience and perspective is always my first priority.

I am a licensed independent mental health practitioner and licensed alcohol and drug counselor in Nebraska. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling and consider myself to be an integrative, trauma-informed and client-centered practitioner. I am certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional and trained in EMDR therapy which can be applied and utilized in many different ways. I have also completed yoga teacher training and hold additional training in restorative yoga which is easily integrated into the treatment plan if that is of interest to you.

All of my education and training is used to assist my clients in achieving a greater sense of balance, mental health and well-being.
