Therapists in Nebraska

I am flexible to accommodate most schedules. I believe everyone can benefit from therapy; at its core, therapy is about building a relationship in which we feel safe to embrace and become our authentic selves. I enjoy working with people to explore life experiences and identify past trauma that may be preventing them from living their best life. I am passionate about issues surrounding individual freedoms, specifically relating to gender/sexuality. As a queer professional, I enjoy working with clients who identify as LGBTQIA+ and/or who practice nontraditional relationships, including polyamory and kink.

Professionally, I'm interested in Autism Spectrum Disorder (Asperger's Disorder), Depression, Anxiety, Parenting Issues, Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI), co-occurring disorders (formerly called Dual Diagnosis Disorders), lifespan development/lifespan developmental psychopathology, and resiliency. I have been trained to work with clients across the age spectrum. I'm welcoming of clients of various backgrounds and beliefs.

Life is continuously presenting us with new challenges, often causing us to question our decisions or how we will manage such obstacles. This uncertainty can lead to complicated emotions that may seem too overwhelming to manage alone. Genuine support and guidance, as well as a safe, non-biased environment may be the answer to overcoming these battles and gaining a sense of peace.

I see clients for individual therapy and psychological evaluations. My approach is individualized and based on my clients' needs, personal background, and goals. My therapy approach utilizes cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, & existential modalities, adapted specifically for my clients. I also incorporate positive psychology elements by being person-centered, non-judgmental, & utilizing strengths in developing goals & a plan for treatment. My clients can expect to gain insight into the nature of their difficulties, with an individualized plan for progress and improved functioning.

I like working with clients as a whole. I am a dually licensed therapist who enjoys individuals who experience both substance abuse and mental health issues. I have recently become a Brainspotting Practitioner and am excited to bring this new therapeutic tool to the community. I like to help clients build a strong foundation to then branch out and grow to become the person they desire to be.

My mission is to interactively provide individuals, couples and families the tools to rebuild, restore and regain control of their lives, exploring underlying issues related to cognitive and dialectical reframing, addiction & trauma related issues. I am also trained in (PCIT) Parent Child Interactive Therapy- A short-term program, specialized behavior management program designed for young children experiencing behavioral and or emotional difficulties. I am also trained in (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization, Adoption Competency and Addiction/Sex Offender Treatment.
