Therapists in Nebraska

I have been a counselor for over 30 years and have been married for 38 years and love to do relationship counseling. I encourage couples and individuals to come in to discuss their life issues before they become major ones down the road. Having raised two children, my heart also goes out to teenagers and young adults and the challenges they face. I am here to help clients move toward a positive and productive use of coping skills to handle the problems they are currently struggling with.

We know how difficult it can be to find quality, evidence-based, and integrated mental health therapy. Fillmore County Hospital has had the privilege to be a regional leader in providing such mental health care since 2011. We are passionate about helping people by assessing and treating a variety of conditions including depression, anxiety, severe/persistent mental illness, grief, trauma, eating disorders, relationship problems, family conflicts, and many other life stressors. We treat diverse individuals across the entire lifespan from 0-100+ years of age!

All humans have strengths and develop strategies for coping with life's unique challenges and stressors. Sometimes the strategies we come up with are helpful and sometimes they do more to interfere with life than help. If you believe you or your child are experiencing difficulties coping with or adjusting to life's stressors that are interfering with school or work, peer and family relationships, or overall quality of life, then therapy may be a helpful next step.

Every person deserves Dignity and Respect. We all sometimes need help. A different perspective and a reason for Hope can be important goals of counseling. We all approach life doing "The Best We Can". Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors all influence how we are doing. I have been in practice for 20+ years and works with individuals and families. I have experience working with the children/ teens, juvenile court system/probation, youth who sexually harm, Marital/family conflict, and behavioral/parenting issues. I am also a member of the Nebraska Academy of Collaborative Professionals and am trained in mediation.

My passion for working with others to find solace in their life has spanned a period of 21 years; both as a therapist & a school administrator. No matter who we are, there are obstacles & roadblocks that we need help overcoming. Sometimes, we need someone with whom we can bare our soul; sometimes we need reassurance that our thoughts are reasonable; sometimes we just need someone to listen. Life does not always turn out how we imagined. I have the background, skills, and experience tohelp others get as close to that imagined life as possible.
