I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE

About me

I grew up in a small town in Nebraska, living on a family farm with my parents and three older sisters. After high school, I attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, focusing on Child, Youth, and Family Studies. In 2017, my husband and I moved to Aberdeen, South Dakota, where I pursued my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northern State University.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various therapeutic settings, including community mental health services and private practice. I work with clients aged 14 and older, helping individuals navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions/adjustments, mood disorders, and personality disorders.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and our two young boys, who keep us on our toes! We enjoy family walks with our dog, Margo, going to the river, and traveling back to Nebraska to reconnect with friends and family back home!

Ending the Stigma

Growing up in a rural community, I saw firsthand the lack of mental health resources and the stigma that surrounded mental illness. This experience sparked a desire to advocate for those struggling with mental health challenges. It became my passion to not only provide support, but also to break down the barriers that prevent people from seeking help.

I believe it’s essential for everyone to know that it's okay to reach out for support, no matter the situation. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where people feel understood and empowered to become the best version of themselves—mentally, emotionally, and physically.
