Child Therapists in Lincoln, NE

I am trained in Child Centered Play Therapy, which is a research based, developmentally appropriate mental health intervention for kids. Child Centered Play Therapy uses play - which is the natural language of children - as a means to allow children to process big feelings, inner experiences, struggles and triumphs. My job is to facilitate this play and establish a safe, therapeutic relationship with the child . This relationship, paired with a safe, consistent play environment, has the potential to decrease problematic behaviors, increase self-esteem, increase positive coping skills and improve overall functioning.

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 believe everyone has the capacity for change. Often times we need guidance, or a gentle push, to get there. I offer a safe and welcoming environment for you to process and create realistic goals for where you are today. I believe all can benefit from therapy throughout their lives, to help support, encourage and cheer you on in your journey.
