About

The key to effective therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist. I strive to build an effective therapeutic relationship by building a safe and trusting environment that allows for open communication. I do this by creating a non-judgmental environment, in which people can work toward creating preferred changes in their lives.
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist by training and am experienced in providing therapy for individuals, couples, and families. Among my areas of specialization are the treatment of couple relationship difficulties, parent-child relationship difficulties, and grief and bereavement. I also have experience working with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and end-of-life issues.
I earned my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Saint Louis University, and hold independent licenses in Nebraska and Iowa. I have experience working in private practice, community mental health, primary care family medicine, readjustment counseling services with the VA, and hospice care.
