Therapists for Teens in Lincoln, NE

I work primarily with adults with a wide range of presenting problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, bipolar, etc. My early training and early career jobs were in agencies serving primarily children and adolescents. I have shifted to working primarily with adults, but continue to keep my hand in a bit of therapy with adolescents. My background in child/adolescent therapy has been useful in working with adults struggling with their children, teens, and adult children. I also enjoy working with couples struggling with the trials and complexities of being in a marriage.

I specialize in working with clients who have a history of trauma including physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse. I also work with clients suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder and Dissociative Identity Disorder. Left untreated, these conditions can make life unbearable not only for the client, but also for those who love them. Therefore, in addition to individual and couple counseling, I also offer weekend workshops for clients suffering from these conditions as well as their loved ones. These workshops enable the participants to learn more about these disorders and how to manage them more effectively.

You are not broken. No one is. Still it can feel that way sometimes. Chances are, you're actually a capable, talented, and lovable person dealing with a crappy situation (or bunch of situations) or life just isn't what you want it to be. I want to understand how you see yourself, explore what isn't working, and define what success means for you (not what others' or society has told you). We will explore the ways you've overcome hard things before and test out new tools, until we find what works specifically for you. My most important job is to reflect your strengths and beauty back to you and help you put these skills to work.

My training has been quite diverse thus I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and needs. My ideal client is an individual who understands the need to seek help or guidance and is willing to work with me on these concerns. I have over 18 years of clinical experience and enjoy working with "systems" (e.g., schools, families, support systems). I prioritize consultation with schools when addressing school-based behaviors such as underachievement, learning disabilities, and bullying concerns. I take a "strength-based" approach, always attempting to work within the clients talents and building from that point forward.

I work primarily with adults, but have experience working across the age-spectrum inlcuding children and families.

Relationships are vital to becoming a whole person, including your relationship with yourself. But quality relationships don't happen by accident.
