Is substance use controlling your life? Is addiction by a family member effecting your relationships? Do you need help recognizing your patterns of relapse and desire to end this painful cycle? Would you appreciate a kind, empathetic, experienced, and validating solution? Please contact me. My mission is to help.

I have experience working with adults and adolescents who have mental health and substance use issues. I work well with clients who are struggling with depression, substance use issues, mood instability, relationship issues, self-esteem, anxiety, anger, and just feeling "off." Together we will look at what works for you, what isn't working for you, and how to change this. You will be doing the work, I will help guide you and provide tools as needed.

What does it mean to "take care of your mental health?" It's easier to tell when you aren't taking care of it: chronic stress, exhaustion, worry, and panic are all signs your mental health is suffering. If untreated, you could start having nightmares, poor health, trouble in your relationships, and difficulty staying on top of work or school. There are many things that can lead to mental health struggles, like a too-busy schedule, a chronic illness or someone else's troubles, a major life transition, or a death of someone close to you. Or, it could seem to come out of the blue, caused by nothing at all.

I view being a Psychotherapist as being more than simply a job, I view it as a vocation. I have worked in both residential and outpatient settings. I help individuals with symptoms and behaviors arising from anxiety, depression, psychosis, obsessions & compulsions, traumatic experiences, addictions, Personality Disorders, low self-esteem, and anger. I also help individuals cope with daily problems or stress in order to lead more productive lives. I am licensed to treat Mental Health issues, as well as Chemical Dependency issues, in the states of Nebraska & Iowa. I am currently accepting new patients (for in-office visits only).

I provide services to individuals with an open heart and open mind. I base our work on where you are mentally and emotionally. Together we examine past traumas and current stressors to begin to understand why sometimes we get to a place we never thought we would be. With an emphasis on positive psychology and learning to identify and grow strengths, we begin the healing process. Because an essential aspect of therapy is rapport with your therapist, I spend time growing trust a deeper understanding with each client. I will challenge you but also provide support, encouragement, and empathy when needed.
