Family Therapy in Lincoln, NE

Throughout my life, schooling, and work as a therapist, I’ve learned a lot about people and the importance of connection. I believe in the power relationships can have in the healing process, so I not only enjoy working with families, couples, and individuals to improve their relationships and individual functioning, but I also strive to be someone with whom my clients can have a strong connection. My belief is that such a client-therapist relationship gives space for vulnerability and promotes change.

Counseling provides a safe place to resolve many of the symptoms of emotional and physical stress related to addiction, depression, anxiety or trauma. Through relationship counseling, people learn how to reconnect after conflict and discover the power of truly listening to others in conversation. Helping people learn how to respond rather than react in close and intimate relationships, resolving conflict through healthy communication.

Life has a way of letting us know when it is time to reach out. Are you feeling overwhelmed, burdened, stressed, and ready for change, but not sure where to begin? Do you feel you have more to offer, but feel stuck? Then counseling is the right setting to have a conversation that may open doors to problem solving and provide tools for guidance. Growing up working in the family restaurant and being active as a student athlete, I didn't have the tools to manage the stress around me. While I was helping others to perform as a personal trainer, I knew I needed to become a counselor to help in a more wholistic way.

Clients who seek help are generally looking for a wide spectrum of improvements in their life. I look at the big picture which includes, their personal happiness and their balance in life which includes relationships, family, work, play, personal health,growth, and spirituality. No matter their age or gender, all issues relate to their current diagnosis and life situation. Depression,self esteem, adjustment issues, and relationships are the focal point of every treatment plan.

I provide strength-based therapy for individuals, couples, and families who experience difficulties coping, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, difficulties adjusting, and low levels of self-worth. I utilize a cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approach to assist in setting goals, applying strengths, and finding new ways to cope with stressors. I've worked in both medical and agency settings with a consistent effort to treat the mind and body as a holistic unit.

Hello there. I have a diverse clinical background and am here to help. I have worked for agencies who specialize in in-home therapy with children and their parents. I have worked with children of all ages and am passionate about helping young people and their parents navigate their challenges. Navigate their difficult journeys. I use a practical solutions focused and CBT approach and don't genuinely believe that children need to be in therapy for years at a time. With the right tools and resources in place, children will do amazing things! Additionally, I have experience with complex bi-polar and schizophrenia in adults.

I have a doctorate degree with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. Practicing since 1989, my current work focuses on couples counseling, individual issues and family business/ organizational consulting. A father of six and married since 1981, I try to bring practical, real-world experience to solving the common issues many of us have through out the life-cycle.

At some point during our life I believe that we have all wanted to hear "it's ok", "me too", to be supported or reinforced through challenging times. I enjoy working with women who have been impacted with anxiety, broken love languages, executive functioning difficulties, cyclical issues surrounding their monthly cycle, maternal mental health, as well as, those who just need someone to talk to. I believe that in our society we have too many pressures of judgment and I strive to provide a free environment. An environment free from judgement, free from stress, and a place to find your best sense of self.

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.

I believe, often life can feel “out of balance” and we are unsure of what to do. Sometimes we feel stuck, unable to reach a goal—or sometimes we struggle to even know what our goals are. This is where counseling can be helpful. I work with my clients to understand where they are at, and how they experience life. Together, we work to build a path toward change.
