Executive Director, EMDR Certified Therapist™

Working at RISE Behavioral Health and Wellness has been a deeply rewarding experience for me. One of the things I appreciate most about RISE is their commitment to providing quality mental health services to the residents of Douglas County. It's an honor to be a part of an organization that truly cares about the well-being of the community.

At RISE, we take a holistic approach to mental health and wellness, which means we focus not only on treating mental health challenges but also on promoting overall well-being. We provide a wide range of services, including therapy, medication management, and case management, among others, to help our clients achieve their goals and live fulfilling lives.

My areas of expertise include working with people who have experienced complex trauma, working with members of the Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diverse communities. I believe that everyone deserves to feel supported and empowered on their path to recovery, and I work hard to create a safe and welcoming environment for each of my clients.

One of the things I'm most excited about is having earned my certification in EMDR and I am now an EMDR Certified Therapist™. EMDR is an incredibly effective form of therapy that helps individuals overcome trauma and emotional challenges. With this certification, I am now equipped to help my clients heal and move forward in their lives.

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy and understanding. I believe that everyone's journey is unique, and I work closely with my clients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their specific needs and concerns. Whether through therapy sessions or other forms of treatment, I'm committed to helping each of my clients achieve their goals and find a sense of peace and fulfillment in their lives.

Working at RISE has been an incredibly fulfilling experience, both personally and professionally. I'm proud to be a part of an organization that is making a positive impact on the community, and I look forward to continuing to serve the needs of our clients and the people of Douglas County.

Overall, I'm incredibly proud of the work we do and the impact we’ve been able to make in the lives of so many people. If you're looking for compassionate and experienced mental health professionals, the team at RISE Behavioral Health and Wellness would be honored to work with you and support you on your journey to healing.
