I’m three months into my work as a therapist, and I’m like a new mother in love with my work/baby. My patients have touched my heart and enriched my soul.

I find I have particular interest in working with trans folks, with people who are grieving, with people who are considering expanding their families or who recently have, and with folks struggling with body image issues or isolation. I enjoy helping people deepen their connection to their inner selves.

I couldn’t imagine a better working environment than Omaha Integrative Care. Once, when the work I’d done with a patient left me holding pain in my heart and energy field, I was able to get OIC bodywork done immediately after, which was a huge relief.

I love being able to recommend the integrative experience to my patients, whether their nervous systems would benefit from yoga, Sound Bath, massage, or medication management. OIC feels like a great place to grow as a practitioner, and I feel so fortunate to have my colleagues to grow with, and our patients to collectively help reach healing.
