About Me

I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I enjoy building relationships while creating a safe space for all individuals. I believe that mental health is an important part of your life and wish to help individuals improve their mental health through conversation and encouraging self-care and self-love. 

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a minor in Gerontology from the University of Nebraska at Kearney and completed my Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from University of Nebraska at Omaha. Throughout my collegiate career, I have working and/or practicum experience in a nursing home, psychiatric hospital, non-profit agency, with DHHS in children and family services and have experience working with individuals who have autism and survivors of domestic violence.  

As a clinician, I have completed trainings such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), neurosciences-based treatment interventions and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is a therapy that helps the brain process and heal from traumatic experiences. EMDR allows individuals to work through distressing thoughts, images, beliefs, emotions, and triggers, promoting comprehensive healing and resilience. In 2024, I completed a 200 hour comprehensive training in yoga and received my registered yoga teacher license. I integrate some somatic work into my therapeutic practice and also hold yoga classes outside of office hours. In addition to somatic interventions, I integrate strength-based, mindfulness-based, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed frameworks. My work is grounded in the establishment of a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship that supports the exploration, integration, and understanding of various aspects of the self. 

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and my nine-year-old corgi named Castiel. I thrive in nature, enjoy reading and my favorite hobby is traveling across the world with my husband, Trevor.
