Throughout my life, schooling, and work as a therapist, I’ve learned a lot about people and the importance of connection. I believe in the power relationships can have in the healing process, so I not only enjoy working with families, couples, and individuals to improve their relationships and individual functioning, but I also strive to be someone with whom my clients can have a strong connection. My belief is that such a client-therapist relationship gives space for vulnerability and promotes change. With this in mind, my approach focuses on healing trauma, relational strains, and negative thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of individual and relational thriving. I use trauma-informed therapeutic models consistent with this focus to help individuals and families reach their goals. I am trained in EMDR, Gottman Method for couples, ABFT, and EFT. When I’m not being a therapist, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, reading, watching movies, and being outdoors when the weather is nice. I love walking through Lincoln’s lovely neighborhoods and enjoy getting to know people. I strive to be culturally sensitive and to learn from my clients. I’m excited to get to know you!
