I strive to create a safe and welcoming therapeutic environment through building a strong, nonjudgmental alliance with each client as we work together to identify and challenge maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. I am passionate towards working with individuals through life transitions. I have experience working with anxiety, grief & loss, and depression. I take pride in providing clients with a space to learn and implement healthy coping mechanisms, adaptive thought processes, and self-care practices. I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln before moving back home to receive my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from DePaul University. In my free time, I love spending time with my family and friends, reading by the lake, and trying out different locally-owned coffee shops around the city.
