I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and earned my Master of Social Work Degree from Florida State University and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Social Work with a minor in Psychology from Chadron State College. My counseling style is direct, warm, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and age groups dealing with a range of issues. My specialties include working with couples and adults treating anxiety, depression, difficulties in decision making, self-esteem, childhood trauma, suicidality, grief processing, interpersonal relationship difficulties, work-life balance, stress management, and sexual issues. I have a particular passion for helping individuals through major life transitions.
Whether you are leaving home for college, struggling in your marriage, becoming a parent, raising children and teens, dealing with midlife changes, or caring for aging parents, I am here to guide you through these pivotal moments. I am a sex-positive therapist who believes it is important to provide a space to discuss sexuality and sexual wellness without fear of judgment and shame. I am also open to incorporating spirituality into treatment.
I incorporate aspects of different theoretical perspectives in my practice to meet the unique needs and goals of each client. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to the counseling process. I work to develop this relationship by providing a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore and process their emotional experiences. I hope to support and empower all clients to recognize their inner strength and their ability to overcome whatever obstacles come their way. I specialize in a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness, and meditation. These evidence-based techniques empower you with the knowledge and skills to tackle whatever challenges you’re facing. Additionally, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful method to help individuals process and overcome trauma and distressing life experiences.
I am married with a blended family including two adult children, and 5 bonus kids. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors as well as spending time with family and friends.I believe that an important component of therapy is for clients to have hope for positive change in their lives. I believe that life can be inherently challenging, yet clients are capable of meeting those challenges with the appropriate guidance and support.
