Therapists in Bennington, NE

You are the expert on your experience, I am here to meet you where you are at and help guide you to where you want to go. I am honored to be a part of your healing journey, whether that involves building new coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, or depression or processing difficult experiences through storytelling.

Especially in difficult times, it can be hard to find sources of acceptance, affirmation, and healing. Often the people closest to us - family, classmates, and co-workers, don't accept us for who we are. Perhaps we are gifted and see the world differently, in a new relationship and scared of old mistakes, are living an alternative lifestyle, or are trying to better understand ourselves and our past. Whatever the reason, we also desire to be happy, whole, and loved - and especially to become something more than what we are. Trauma can hold us back no matter our age - creating negative habits and barriers to our success.

My aim is to follow you into whatever calls for your attention, develop an authentic relationship and safe space to explore it, and use and provide tools and techniques as necessary. My work is informed by contemporary / relational psychodynamic theory, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), somatic therapy, parts work, and Buddhist psychology. I work with individuals, couples, and groups ages 12 and older, whether it be short-term and solution-oriented or long-term and exploratory.

In person OR video! With Meta Counseling, you say, "I can." This is a great first step when so much time has been spent saying "I can't." Take your life back, rediscover yourself, and promote change from within. I have an interactive, solution-focused approach. My goal is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate complementary therapies, offering a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. I work with compassion and understanding to help individuals to build on their strengths and attain significant personal growth.

During my studies, I have focused on the interactions between thinking, emotions, behaviors, and belief systems. I have learned that many factors, such as genetics and how and where someone grows up, deeply affect how we think and feel about the world when we're navigating the complexities of becoming and being an adult. The holistic and sometimes eclectic approaches I have learned are helpful for personal growth or when we have thoughts, actions, and feelings that we wish that we did not have or are just confusing to us.

Over the next few months, I will complete my dissertation as the last requirement for my doctoral degree in psychology. I work with individuals with a large assortment of concerns, from personality disorders, depression, trauma, body image, LGBTQ issues, men's issues, LGBTQ, relationships, assertive communication, self-esteem, self-compassion, and health and wellness. In addition, I have an array of experience conducting psychological evaluation and is my ongoing passion.

Our mental health is no less vital than our physical health, but one area many of us choose to ignore. Often, we become out of balance with our emotions, career and relationships. We may lose a sense of control and only hope to numb the pain. Although life can feel complicated, what isn't complicated is our need to feel loved, respected and that we matter. Caring for yourself is a good place to start.

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.

Do you find yourself struggling with relationships both at home and at work? Do you feel hopeless with a strong desire to move to the next chapter of your life, but unsure how? Struggling with alcohol, drugs or other addictions? Do you feel "Stuck?"

There is hope, increased freedom and self-efficacy is possible.

“A step may be the beginning of a great journey” In life the first step is always the most difficult for people, the same can be said about therapy. Introducing oneself to someone they just met, trusting a stranger with their thoughts and feelings can be a truly intimidating experience. The purpose of therapy is to provide a safe space for a person to take the first step on the journey of healing and the personal growth that follows. Therapy is fluidic and follows an integrative, and adaptable path determined by the client’s goals.

I now only work online through Skype. I have worked with a variety of issues over my 30 years in my profession.

I have a full and deep life of experience to draw from in meeting my clients in sacred space. The loss of a son, a marriage, a career, accumulated material rewards, and most importantly, the potential of life unlived; dreams unfulfilled. This is soul work. Prepared by the vulnerability of my story, I hold insight and compassion for those whose burdens must be eased into, passed through, and reborn into new purpose, for the quality of our life is in our overcoming. Navigating the troubled waters of depression, anxiety, relational fissures, and archetypal energies is the first threshold of a healing journey.
