Mental Health Therapist & Drug and Alcohol Counselor - MS, LIMHP, LADC, SAP

Since 2007, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals and couples as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward greater health, authenticity, and balance. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns of depression, or coping with addiction, trauma, or life transitions, my role is to help you find clarity, healing, and hope.

​

Before entering private practice, I served as a supervision officer with the Central Nebraska Drug Court and worked in Child Protective Services. These early experiences deepened my understanding of the real-world challenges people face—especially when navigating complex systems, high-stress environments, or recovery journeys.

I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of Nebraska at Kearney and have continued my education with specialized training in trauma recovery, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and substance use treatment.

I work with adults in individual and couples therapy, and I help clients address a wide range of concerns, including:

• Depression and anxiety

• Addiction and recovery

• Relationship issues and codependency

• Divorce and separation

• Grief and loss

• Work stress and career transitions

• Parenting challenges

• Trauma from abuse, accidents, or natural disasters

• Mood disorders and other mental health needs

​

As a qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), I also work with individuals and companies needing guidance and evaluations related to DOT drug and alcohol regulations. I offer consultations, evaluations, and presentations on reasonable suspicion and compliance protocols to support both employee well-being and workplace safety.

My approach is grounded in compassion, practical tools, and evidence-based strategies. You're not meant to do this alone—and you don’t have to. Together, we can explore what’s holding you back and build the path forward.

Let’s grow your journey to health, authenticity, and balance—one step at a time.
