I work with individuals and couples who are tired of feeling stuck. Maybe it's anxiety, a marriage that isn't working, or the exhaustion of being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in painful relationship patterns, carrying the effects of trauma, or facing a life transition that feels hard to manage, therapy can be a place to exhale. I work with adults who want support making sense of what they’re going through and finding practical ways to feel more grounded, understood, and in control. I also support clients navigating family dynamics, including experiences related to autism, adoption, and complex relationships.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Nebraska


I believe mental health care works best when people feel truly known, respected, and safe. My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric care and medication management with compassionate, whole-person support. I work with children, teens, and adults, and I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being honest without fear of judgment.

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. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I am warm, approachable, thorough, and collaborative rather than rushed or impersonal.

Whether you are looking for practical symptom relief, deeper healing, or a provider who understands and respects your faith, my hope is that you feel supported, heard, and encouraged throughout the process.

I completed my doctorate at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in an APA-approved Counseling Psychology program and an APA-accredited internship with broad training in assessment, psychotherapy, and multidisciplinary collaboration. I specialize in trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, dissociation, family-of-origin issues, and helping people untangle long-standing patterns that keep them stuck.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Nebraska

Searching for therapists in Nebraska starts with finding someone whose training and specialties match what you want support with. Options can vary across urban and rural parts of the state, so it helps to look for a therapist who has experience with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or major life changes. As you compare profiles, review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy approach, and areas of focus to see whether their background fits your needs.

Location and format also shape your search across Nebraska. You may want an in-person therapist near Omaha, Lincoln, or Grand Island, or you may prefer virtual sessions that fit your schedule from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they communicate, what sessions may look like, and whether their approach feels like a practical fit before you book.

The cost of mental health care in Nebraska varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Nebraska therapists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see an estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
