Healing does not mean the damage never existed… It means the damage no longer controls our lives. Everyone deserves to live their absolute best life. Challenges may arise, however, that are difficult to overcome. You may be seeking help because you are experiencing pain, fear, anxiety, or a sense of hopelessness. You may feel stuck around a particular issue or unable to let go of events from the past. I understand how frightening and isolating these feelings can be. As your therapist, I will be honored to hear your story and offer my support and care as I help you develop the skills needed to reach your goals. Together, we will work hard to heal the wounds of the past, cope with your life in the present, and let go of the worries of the future. My therapeutic base centers on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am also an EMDR Trained Therapist with a focus on complex trauma. I do believe that, “if all you have is a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail”, therefore I use adaptive counseling techniques to tailor my therapeutic approach to your specific needs. Overall, my goal is to help you access your unique strengths and abilities to support and facilitate your personal growth throughout this process. I am a Provisionally Licensed Mental Health Practitioner. I earned my Master’s degree in Community Counseling from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. I have over 16 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in residential facilities, outpatient treatment, and correctional facilities. My main areas of focus are depression, anxiety, phobias, complex trauma, PTSD, substance abuse, self-harm, chronic pain, dual diagnosis, behavior disorders, and severe and persistent mental illness.
I accept BCBS, Wellcare, and Medicaid. I also accept private pay clients.
