I grew up in rural Nebraska, and recently returned to pursue my passion for helping promote mental health awareness in our rural communities. I attended Nebraska Wesleyan University where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and Spanish in 2012. In 2014, I completed my Master of Social Work Degree from the University of Denver with an emphasis in Child Welfare. 

I have spent time working in various settings including the public school system, hospice, private practice, and inpatient healthcare settings. I believe in providing a safe and supportive environment that allows individuals to reach their overall wellness goals. I am passionate about what I do because I enjoy recognizing individuality and the dignity and worth of each person. 

I am especially passionate about Perinatal Mental Health and providing support to individuals experiencing infertility, pregnancy loss, and post-partum issues. The post-partum period can be an especially challenging time for both women and their partners. I hope to help provide support to young families in our community who may be struggling with these issues. I am Perinatal Mental Health certified (PMH-C).

I have received training in the areas of Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, Trauma, School Counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Post-Partum Mood and Anxiety Disorders, Pregnancy Loss, and LGBTQIA+
