Overview

I believe in collaboration, actively listening, showing empathy, and aligning therapeutic interventions with clients' cultural values and beliefs. Let me help you on your journey towards a healthier and happier life.
I was born and raised in a small town, on a farm, in Nebraska; after graduating high school I moved to Colorado. I have recently moved to New Orleans, LA to pursue my doctorate degree.
In my free time I enjoy being outdoor in nature, exercising, spending time with friends and family, taking walks/hikes with my dogs, or lounging at home watching movies.
I know what it is like to be an individual seeking professional help, as I found a passion for this field out of my own journey to mental wellbeing. I have personally experienced depression, anxiety, and PTSD; the grief after losing a brother, the anguish of terminal illness, domestic violence, and the impact of addiction. I believe that I can use my experience and education to be a support for you along your own journey.
