Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Elkhorn, NE
I was trained in an evidence-based generalist model with specific expertise and training in disruptive behavior, behavioral family therapy, behavior management/parent training interventions, ADHD and internalizing disorders in children and adolescents.
I work hand in hand with individuals and families to address goals and actively attempt to de-pathologize emotional and/or behavioral challenges that individuals struggle with. I work to actively engage those I work with to live a meaningful, valued life. I believe that my work with children often involves active involvement of family and caregivers whatever their title or status helping promote meaningful improvements. I value the need to listen to and respond to the needs of the individual or family that is present in my office and seek to help them accomplish goals as quickly as possible.

Life is hard, and you don't need to do it alone. I work with indviduals that are trying to navigate anxiety, relationships, chronic illness, self-esteem, loss or grief and big life transitions. I offer compassion, clarity, and humor (because life is just really something sometimes, isn't it?) within the therapy space. It is an honor to walk alongside you and help you untangle yourself from your mind's web. As a licensed therapist, and fellow human, I'll be a warm heart and honest sounding board for things you may be too uncomfortable to share with others. Let's chat.

I am licensed in NE and IA and enjoy working with teens and adults from various walks of life who want to address emotional issues and mental health needs.
Hi there! I love that you are thinking about starting therapy. I applaud you for your courage in doing so, I've done it myself and it's never easy! In fact, part of why I became a therapist is because it's hard to find a good therapist and so I wanted to fill those gaps. My ideal client is someone who is already somewhat self reflective, introspective and mindful of their own behavior patterns and wanting to expand on this knowledge and have someone else who is unbiased to hear them out. Life is chaotic and crazy, but can also be beautiful. I enjoy being there for the ups and downs, and sharing in the joys and the sorrows with you.

When your primary relationship is difficult, it impacts every aspect of your life. You can't focus as well at work, you become short and snappy with your children and/or others, you can't sleep, you stop eating or eat too much. It can feel so threatening when someone you care about doesn't seem to care about you, or when you wonder if you even care about them anymore. All of these feelings are normal in relationships but they don't have to last forever. If you allow them to push you to growth, you can have the relationship you've always craved.
