Grief counselors and therapists in Lincoln, NE

I’m a licensed psychologist with more than three decades of experience in psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and trauma-informed care. My background includes extensive work with adults, adolescents, and children across private practice, medical settings, and the VA’s PTSD clinic, where I provided both treatment and disability evaluations. I completed my doctorate at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in an APA-approved Counseling Psychology program and an APA-accredited internship with broad training in assessment, psychotherapy, and multidisciplinary collaboration. I specialize in trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, dissociation, family-of-origin issues, and helping people untangle long-standing patterns that keep them stuck. My style is warm, open-minded, and direct, meeting people right where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be.

I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner with 26 years of experience working with adolescents and adults. I currently offer telehealth sessions. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, always tailoring my approach to best support you.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I am a licensed clinical practitioner dedicated to providing a compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals. I practice with a deep commitment to cultural humility. I understand that your identity, background, and unique lived experiences shape how you navigate the world, and I welcome all aspects of who you are into our therapeutic space. My approach is entirely tailored to you as an individual, focusing on your unique strengths, values, and needs.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, or health challenges start to take over. You may feel stuck, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. I work with adults and older adults who are navigating emotional stress, life transitions, and complex medical conditions. Together, we’ll untangle what’s weighing on you, build practical tools, and help you feel more grounded, in control, and hopeful again.
