I have a passion for working with children, youth, and teens helping them to understand and navigate thoughts, feelings, situations, and potentially harmful behaviors. My work with foster care has also created a strong desire to provide a safe place for others to explore, heal and grow.
I am a Provisionally Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (PLMHP) in Nebraska. I have a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. I utilize an eclectic style of counseling which primarily includes a combination of Solution-Focused, Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Creative and Expressive Therapy techniques. I have experience counseling children, teens and adults, men and women. I also have experience working with and supporting youth and families through traumas, suicidal ideation, self-esteem, relationship issues, depression, self-harm, anger, anxiety, grief, and other life hurts; including a background in leading twelve-step renewal groups for teens and adults.
Using a strengths-based approach, I believe that while we might need to learn new tools, we often have more strengths within us than we realize. I like to be fun and creative, and I strongly believe in the power of positive thoughts. I look forward to partnering with you as you work to grow and experience peace, wholeness, and positive connections with self and others.
