Parenting Therapists in Downtown, Lincoln, NE

Get unstuck! You don’t have to be ruled by your symptoms, you are so much more than them. It is natural to want to avoid unpleasant emotions. While this alleviates pain in the short term, it leads to more suffering and pain down the road. You don’t have to face this alone. Let me support you on the path to wholeness and becoming who you are meant to be.

Life is hard. Navigating the experiences and transitions of life as a child, adolescent, teen, parent, or early adult can present all sorts of difficulties and circumstances where it is normal to need some additional guidance and support. For any of these stages, I am here to help. I offer a holistic, whole-person, non-judgmental, and highly individualized approach to therapy work that emphasizes meeting my clients where they are and collaborating to find the best type of therapy to meet their unique needs and goals. I operate from a neurodiversity affirming, culturally sensitive framework to guide my work with all of my clients.

I believe we each have our own strengths and abilities to manage the difficulties that life brings us. Sometimes we lose sight of these and need guidance finding ourselves again, whether it's individually or within our relationships. My goal in therapy is to partner with you to find your unique strengths and help you build the skills to find a path towards happiness within yourself and in your relationships.

You are not broken. No one is. Still it can feel that way sometimes. Chances are, you're actually a capable, talented, and lovable person dealing with a crappy situation (or bunch of situations) or life just isn't what you want it to be. I want to understand how you see yourself, explore what isn't working, and define what success means for you (not what others' or society has told you). We will explore the ways you've overcome hard things before and test out new tools, until we find what works specifically for you. My most important job is to reflect your strengths and beauty back to you and help you put these skills to work.

The clients I have experienced often have had some not so great experiences with therapy in the past and have their guard up. They are looking to be listened to and to work on the goals they identify as important to them, they ultimately want someone they can trust and feel safe/comfortable with. The clients that I have worked with have a variety of issues they bring into services including anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting issues, relationship issues, communication struggles, ADHD, issues at school, self-harm and SI. They want to learn the tools to address their struggles in a realistic and achievable way.

Life can be stressful and with changes always happening an individual may feel confused or sad. A parent may feel that they have no where else to go to help with their child's behaviors. If you are needing tools to help yourself heal, and grow I am the provider for you.
