I grew up in Kansas and moved to Nebraska for my education. I have always known I wanted to work in mental health, but wasn't exactly sure which avenue I would take. I got my masters degree in counseling and then decided to become a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner so I could combine counseling with medication management. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and found I truly love working with students. My hope is that we can work together to create a treatment plan that supports you where you are at and helps move you towards the positive goals you are trying to achieve. In my free time, I love spending time with my family and friends, exercising, and shopping.
