Life can be overwhelming. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or simply trying to keep up with the demands of everyday life, asking for help can be the hardest step. You don’t have to have it all figured out to ask for help. You might be functioning on the outside, but inside, you're overwhelmed, anxious, or just plain tired. Therapy isn’t about being broken. It’s about being brave enough to say, “I need support.” There’s no shame in wanting to feel better, to understand yourself more deeply, or to find peace in the chaos. Therapy is a space where you can be real, be heard, and begin to heal — at your pace

I completed my master's internship at UNMC Counseling and Psychological Services where I had the opportunity to work with graduate and medical students. During this time, I started integrating neuroscience into treatment planning. I have found this evidence-based approach resonates well with my clients because they can better understand the way that they respond to their environment and how their internal processing frames the way in which they view the world.

I combine REBT, CBT, I-CBT, and DBT with somatic experiencing and guided imagery using Accelerated Resolution Therapy.
I primarily have experience working with individual adults as they navigate the long-term consequences of anxiety and perfectionism. Often I find myself working with individuals whose symptoms manifest in disordered eating, OCD, anxiety disorders, and relationship difficulties. I celebrate when my clients finally start living a life that feels authentic. I'm deeply convinced that each person needs to be treated as a whole person- physically, emotionally, and spiritually- to experience healing and fully integrated living. I love to incorporate the Christian faith in my treatment planning IF that is a desired value for therapy.

Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
