"Growth demands a temporary surrender of security." - Gail Sheehy This is one of the reasons why change and growth can be so tough! Real growth can be frightening and uncomfortable and it requires us to step well outside our comfort zone.

Psychotherapy accelerates a person's effectiveness and healthy functioning in the world s/he lives in. At the foundation of this process is genuine trust and respect, one that allows opportunities for exploring personal resources and strengths, habits of behavior, internal conflicts, disruptions of self-concept or attachment, familiar ways of thinking and relating, or to find ways to continue on the path chosen. Psychotherapy creates new distinctions about behavior and world view so as to act and view your self, relationships, and circumstances in new ways. Dr. Stormberg's approach is what Carl Jung described as "a practical psychotherapy to fit people for life."

We all go through difficult times when we wish our lives were different. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to create a new life at any age. Together, we can determine how you would like your life to change and the steps needed to make it happen. Clients have said I am warm and nonjudgmental in my approach, so they feel comfortable sharing their struggles. I understand that everyone brings experiences that shape how they view the world. My goal is to help you understand how these experiences have influenced you and help you start living the life you want.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages and genders. Most of my early experience is with children, adolescents, and families. However, I have been working with adults on individual and couples issues for many years. I also have a lot of experience working with clients on addictions especially drugs and alcohol issues. I work will with clients that have anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues. This includes ADHD and oppositional behaviors.

There are times in our lives that we can become stuck, not knowing how, where, or who to turn to.

I'll help you to untangle your emotional knots - so that you can rekindle your dreams toward living the life you truly deserve. I specialize in issues of empowerment with a focus on your humanity and relationships (less on diagnostic labels). Welcome!

I view being a Psychotherapist as being more than simply a job, I view it as a vocation. I have worked in both residential and outpatient settings. I help individuals with symptoms and behaviors arising from anxiety, depression, psychosis, obsessions & compulsions, traumatic experiences, addictions, Personality Disorders, low self-esteem, and anger. I also help individuals cope with daily problems or stress in order to lead more productive lives. I am licensed to treat Mental Health issues, as well as Chemical Dependency issues, in the states of Nebraska & Iowa. I am currently accepting new patients (for in-office visits only).

If you are feeling stressed, depressed, anxious, frustrated, trapped, or like your life is out of control, help is on the way. I am here to tell you that you don't have to go through the rest of your life feeling this way. If you are willing to show up and work hard in therapy, you will be amazed how much better you will feel, and how quickly. After our first scheduled therapy appointment, you will know exactly what the problem is, why it's happening and some idea of what the treatment process will look like.

All humans have strengths and develop strategies for coping with life's unique challenges and stressors. Sometimes the strategies we come up with are helpful and sometimes they do more to interfere with life than help. If you believe you or your child are experiencing difficulties coping with or adjusting to life's stressors that are interfering with school or work, peer and family relationships, or overall quality of life, then therapy may be a helpful next step.

As a therapist I enjoy working with a variety of groups. I do individual, family and couples therapy, but particularly enjoy working with teens and young women. I enjoy empowering youth while they transition through their developmental tasks and into adulthood. I enjoy working with individuals interested in overcoming obstacles and developing their true potential. I utilize a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches to meet the needs of my clients. With unconditional support, we can examine ourselves and learn to move forward to meet our personal goals.

My clients are treated like the individuals that they are with dignity and respect. I make sure my clients feel safe knowing that everything is confidential, and they are not judged for who they are and how they feel. Feelings and beliefs are important at any age.

It takes a lot of strength to ask for support in times of need. Asking for help is a courageous step, and we do not have to do it alone. What might seem impossible is possible with the right support. My clients can expect to be welcomed into a warm and relaxed environment, and work with someone who is compassionate, caring, and genuinely invested in their treatment. I am committed to providing thoughtful and individualized care, with a strong desire to promote wellness and excellence for the most successful outcomes. I approach clients from a non-judgmental and emphatic perspective.

Daily routines and simple tasks can sometimes feel like a power struggle with children. You have tried everything to only experience temporary or no success. Life doesn't stop for tantrums, where giving up and giving in seems easier so you can get out the door. Parent-Child Interactive Therapy PCIT benefits families by acquiring skills to increase positive interactions and ability to regulate emotions when facing stressors and challenges. I enjoy helping parents regain confidence in themselves as daily routines become easier and your child builds trusting, healthy boundaries. PCIT treatment, generally, is best for kids ages 2-7yrs.

I believe that the key to raising healthy well balanced children is to lead by example. Setting and some times re-establishing rules, boundaries and expectations for your children and family is vital for a happy home. My goals as a therapist are to help individuals and families discover balance and peace in their lives and to find a more hopeful perspective of life. I have over 7 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults. Some of my areas of expertise include: treating depressive disorders, ADHD, and issues of self-esteem. I specialize in working with males 12 and up.

As a Clinician and Registered Expressive Arts Therapist, I am blessed to be in a line of work which focuses on helping people feel better about themselves and their lives. I work with young people as well as adults and their families. I can address trauma, peer issues, family conflicts, behavioral problems, sexually reactive behaviors, depression, social skills and assertiveness issues. I can work with schools as needed and have experience with the court system. Treatment modalities include EMDR, CBT, TF-CBT, CPP, Circle of Security Parenting and psychotherapy. Together we will determine the best course of treatment for you.

Who are you outside of being an athlete, teacher, parent, or office worker? As a Mental Health Therapist and 10 years experience in Sports Medicine, I have worked with thousands of athletes, aiding in their physical needs to get them back to full capacity and into competition. Through my experience I have found that, whether on a court or in an office, individuals can only be their best if they are focusing on their entire health and wellness. Their mental game is as, if not more, important as their physical wellness in finding success. I focus on five factors of holistic health: creative, essential, social, physical, and spiritual.
