Let's Connect (402) 788-4846

I enjoy working with college-aged students, adults, and couples navigating transitions, anxiety, or relationship concerns. Some may struggle with self-doubt, comparison, or perfectionism. Some are exploring sexual intimacy, identity, or healing from trauma and infidelity. Many want to feel more balanced, confident, and more connected in their lives and relationships. For all of my clients, I prioritize a strong, authentic connection so we can then utilize evidence-based approaches to collaborate on healthier ways forward. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community and justice-oriented, I am committed to offering a safe space for all.

With 15-years as a music professor and conductor, I have personal insight into the unique pressures of high-level performance—peer comparison, pressure to achieve, and never feeling “good enough.” These struggles are not unique to music; they also resonate with so many others, especially those in medicine, higher education, and other professional fields.

I know it takes courage to reach out for support, especially when you’ve been carrying the weight of challenges alone. Therapy is a place to feel seen, heard, and supported. If you’re ready to build resilience and create meaningful change, I’d be honored to work alongside you. I invite you to reach out via email, text, or telephone so we can connect!
