LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST

I’m a clinical psychologist with a generalist background, but I especially enjoy working with adolescent and adult women who are navigating trauma, identity development, and major life transitions. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from Pacific University in Oregon, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Much of my work focuses on psychological assessment for diagnostic clarification and I have a strong interest in forensic evaluations. I frequently collaborate with court systems, legal professionals, and social service agencies to support individuals involved in complex systems.

My therapeutic style is trauma-informed, gender- and LGBTQIA+-affirming, and grounded in a humanistic and interpersonal approach. I’m primarily process-oriented in therapy but often integrate CBT and DBT skills to support emotional growth and daily functioning.

In addition to clinical work, I’m actively involved in training early-career providers through our agency’s training program. I serve on the Nebraska Psychological Association’s Legislative Committee, where I advocate for policies that promote accessible, quality mental health care—an area I’m deeply passionate about in addition to fighting for equality and human rights.

Although I’m originally from Portland, Oregon, I’ve lived in several states before settling in Lincoln, Nebraska for my internship at NMHC, and I never left. I’m an animal lover, and my dog Stella often joins me in the office to offer comforting snuggles and kisses. In my free time, I enjoy binge-watching true crime, spending time with friends, taking little excursions and exploring local food scenes. If you see me, I will likely have my dog and an iced coffee in my hand!
