I’ve provided therapy and assessment services in various settings, including outpatient clinics, integrated health care settings, schools, and an academic medical center. My training has included work with diverse ages and presenting concerns, though I particularly enjoy working with children, teens, and families, as well as supporting individuals struggling with high-risk behaviors such as suicidality and self-harm. I completed my internship and postdoctoral fellowship in integrated health clinics across rural Nebraska, with a focus on rural mental health and high-risk populations. Additionally, I have significant experience with outreach work, including providing psychoeducational training to school staff and community members.
