About Me

Qualifications

I’m a provisionally licensed mental health practitioner (PLMHP), NE #13267, in Nebraska.

Education & Experience

Bachelor of Music and Education (‘14), Central Methodist University

Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology (‘22), University of Nebraska- Lincoln.

During the years in between getting these degrees, I worked in civil service. In this role, I met individuals from all over the world who shared their stories of resilience and hope. This work influenced my humanistic perspective of therapy—meaning, I seek to understand clients holistically, consider the influence of various systems (e.g., social, cultural, historical, etc), and emphasize client agency and inherent worthiness.

My clinical experience took place at Morningstar Counseling and Consultation from 2021-2022 in Lincoln, NE. I continued my therapy career with Morningstar from 2023-2026. Following my work with Morningstar, I began my private practice.

Outside of Therapy

When I’m not seeing clients, I’m likely doing typical human things: spending time with family and friends, doling out pets to my two dogs, taking a walk, watching a movie (from B-movies to classics, I just really dig movies), reading, playing the occasional board/video game overly competitively (all in good fun!), singing some tunes, and occasionally cooking a new recipe where I’ll veer off script- 1 teaspoon of thyme, you say? To hell with that, let’s do three!
