Therapists in Lincoln, NE

The ideal client has experienced trauma, affecting their daily life and relationships through anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges. They seek a safe space to heal, aiming to overcome their past and unlock their natural healing ability. Their goal is to live a fulfilling life, not defined by past traumas but by their own strengths and aspirations.

You've already moved towards change by looking for someone who may guide you. Dan Millman said, "You don't have to control your thoughts; you just have to stop letting them control you." I prefer to take a direct approach with clients so you can be more present & engaged in your life rather than stuck in your thoughts or negative emotions.

C.S. Lewis once observed, "As soon as we are fully conscious we discover loneliness." I believe that therapy presents an opportunity to alleviate this condition by offering a safe and confidential space for individuals to discuss their deepest and most profound thoughts and emotions, those which they might believe no one else has experienced. Once these feelings and ideas are vocalized to another person, the result is often an increased sense of connection and a path towards healing.

Do you struggle with past traumas that impact your activities of daily life? Do you have difficulty managing anxiety, depression, or stress? Are you feeling overwhelmed with work, school, or family matters? Do you just want to talk to someone whose unbiased and hasn't heard your story?

*CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* The thought of going to therapy can be scary, and asking for help can be difficult. Finding a therapist with whom you feel secure and comfortable can be equally daunting, especially when you, your child, or your loved one, are in the midst of emotional and psychological pain. I am invested in cultivating a safe, supportive, and trusting environment where clients can get "unstuck" from thoughts and emotions that interfere with their goals and happiness. I partner with my clients to heal from their pasts, create their present, and work toward a future filled with vitality, peace, and happiness.

Searching for a counselor is no easy task. I encourage you to read my profile and if you have any questions, please contact me. A little bit about me. I grew up living all over the US. By the time I graduated high school, I lived in six different states and attended ten different schools. Because of my life experiences, I'm able to connect to many different cultures and adapt easily to my surroundings. My early life experiences taught me that sometimes change can be difficult and scary but that even in the worst of situations, people can and do prevail.

My goal as a therapist is to allow my clients a non-judgmental space where they can feel safe to express themselves, work through trauma, address their mental health, relationships and substance use. I want my clients to feel empowered to change their own lives and have the support and skills to be successful. I am a strength-based therapist who uses cognitive behavior therapy, DBT, motivational interviewing and solutioned focused therapy to help clients meet their goals. I accept most major insurance plans, probation vouchers and Medicaid.
