“It’s no use going back to yesterday because I was a different person then.” “Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.” Alice, from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I like to ask my client's "What has happened to you" versus "What is wrong with you." "How can we get you to where you want to go?" I believe each client has their own story to tell. I am willing to join you on your path...

I'm not going to lament to you about how hard life is; if you're here you know that. My clientele often have a history of working with many therapists, and not finding the help adequate. Whether it's Autistic Burnout, social exclusion due to neurodiversity, sexual difficulties, disabling symptoms of ADHD, or hitting a wall regarding improvement in therapy, I have a plan. Neurodiversity does not jive with homework, so I do not give any. You will be challenged, and given a plethora of psychoeducation; because it is so hard to change something unless you know how it works.

My ideal client wants (and possibly needs) help! Much like all of us. We all have something to work on (even this guy!). I'm not the perfect therapist for everyone, and I promote client autonomy and self-advocacy. I have experience with an assortment of issues (been working at an inpatient psych facility for two years). I'm here to meet you where you're at and provide no judgement at all. BEST way to reach me is via email or text message as I'm more than likely in session when you contact me!

Do you feel like there is something that keeps getting in the way of being able to live a life of fulfillment and joy? Is emotional pain or worry about the future making it hard to enjoy today? Sometimes even the strongest people need some help to work through some of life's more challenging problems. Overwhelm, stress, constant change, weight gain-these things can seem to be an inevitable part of life but that doesn't have to be the case. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, panic, depression, self-esteem, I want you to know there IS hope for a better tomorrow.

Instead, 'what happened?' No one has sunk too low that they cannot change. Allow me the opportunity to empower, encourage and support your 'change', Mentally, Physically and Spiritually!

There are several transitions people experience in their lives, which can then trigger painful memories and make transitions more complicated than they need to be. I help provide a non-judgmental, supportive and empathetic environment to safely explore all of these feelings and memories. I have a mentality of "one step at a time", taking bite size pieces out of overall symptoms to help bring some relief while bigger issues are addressed.

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’m really glad you’re here. Reaching out is not easy when you’re used to being the strong one, the responsible, successful person everyone depends on.

You want rest, support, and space, but you worry that choosing yourself might disappoint the people you love. Deep down, you want to feel worthy without over-giving, to feel grounded in who you are, and to believe that your life can include you too.

Native American Therapists
What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process.
Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.

How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance.
If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
