Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Lincoln, NE

I’ve learned a ton from four years in community mental health - I’m not going to judge anything you bring to session! This gave me a foundation in crisis intervention, anger management, identity shifts, relationships, trauma, and substance use disorders.

I’m a fan of motivational interviewing, and I’ll affirm your thoughts and feelings often. I also give space to challenge thought patterns or behaviors that aren’t in line with your values. I love finding out what makes you feel like you and supporting all that that includes!

For clients who desire it, I also offer Catholic-integrated care that honors the role faith can play in healing, identity, relationships, suffering, purpose, and hope. My goal is never to pressure or preach, but to thoughtfully integrate Catholic values, spirituality, prayer, or faith-based perspectives into treatment in a clinically appropriate and supportive way. I especially enjoy helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, postpartum mental health, motherhood transitions, trauma, relationship stress, life changes, and struggles related to self-worth or burnout.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I provide medication management while also taking time to understand the deeper emotional, relational, lifestyle, and spiritual factors affecting mental health.
