I work with adolescents and adults navigating a wide range of challenges, including OCD, trauma and PTSD, suicidal ideation, self-harm, problematic sexual behaviors, and emotional dysregulation. I also provide gender affirming care and have extensive experience working with the LGBTQIA+ community. If you're not sure whether your situation is a good fit, reach out and we can talk it through together.

For individual therapy, I accept most Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. My self pay rate is $180 for a standard 53-55 minute session. If you're using insurance, a clinical diagnosis will need to be on file. If you're paying out of pocket, I can provide a superbill so you can seek reimbursement through your plan's out of network benefits if you have them.

I draw from several evidence based approaches including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I CBT). All of my work is done through a trauma conscious lens, meaning the impact of past experiences is always considered, and through a relational approach that prioritizes the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for real change. The specific approach in any given session depends on you, your goals, and what is actually working.

OCD is often misunderstood. It is not about being neat or organized. It's a cycle of intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that cause significant distress, followed by compulsions that provide temporary relief but keep the cycle going. OCD is one of my primary areas of specialization, and I treat it using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is the gold standard treatment for OCD, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), a newer approach focused on the reasoning behind obsessional fears. If you've been told you have OCD or suspect you might, you're in the right place.

Yes. I work with adolescents and have extensive experience supporting young people across a wide range of settings, from outpatient therapy to inpatient hospital units. Whether you're a parent or guardian looking for support for your teenager, or a young person reaching out on your own, you're welcome to get in touch. Please note that parental consent is required before treatment can begin.

Yes. I provide letters of support for gender affirming care, including for hormone therapy and surgical procedures. Letters are written in accordance with WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) Standards of Care. As a member of the queer community and an affirming provider, I approach this process with care, respect, and an understanding of what it means to navigate these systems. See Services for more details.

Provisional licensure means I've completed my graduate degree, hold an active therapy license in the state of Nebraska, and am working toward full independent licensure. During this time I practice under clinical supervision, which is a standard and required step in the licensure process. Provisional licensure is not a limitation on competency or the quality of care I provide. I'm a fully trained, licensed therapist with real world clinical training and experience across a range of settings and populations. It's also a mark of transparency, and I believe you deserve to know exactly who you're working with.

Many out-of-network plans still reimburse part of the cost. I recommend calling your insurance company to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits. If you have coverage, I partner with Mentaya, a free service that submits claims for you automatically.
