Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Papillion, NE
I love the concept of developing "grit". Learning how to overcome the obstacles and emotions that stand in our way. Let me help you deal with the inevitable anxiety and frustrations we face and develop the skills that help you deal with them. Perseverance, flexibility and adaptability gets us farther than intelligence, skill and luck ever will or ever have. If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired...I can help. Some days we need a cheerleader with pom poms; some days, we may need a "kick in the butt" or a nudge. All days we want to feel understood, accepted and validated. I am known as being both direct and kind.

I enjoy working with clients to help them reach their potential through improved coping skills, shifting to a more positive perspective, and handling the challenges we all face in our hectic lives.

“It’s no use going back to yesterday because I was a different person then.” “Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.” Alice, from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I like to ask my client's "What has happened to you" versus "What is wrong with you." "How can we get you to where you want to go?" I believe each client has their own story to tell. I am willing to join you on your path...

Feeling stressed, or worried, like things aren't making a lot of sense? You are not alone. In difficult times it can be hard to see a path forward. It is there, though and we can help you find it. Your life can be more what you hope for, not worry about. The past doesn't have to control the present much less the future. Taking a wrong turn, making mistakes, having things go wrong, and needing healing is just part of the cost of living, part of being human. So is forgiveness, self care and freeing ourselves of the past. We can't change what's happened. But we can start where you are, improve the present and make the future bright.

Healing from trauma and painful experiences doesn’t have to be done alone.
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, numb, disconnected, or carrying intrusive thoughts and trust challenges. You might be used to holding it all together for others - while quietly feeling exhausted inside.
In our work together, you’ll find a safe, supportive space to slow down, feel understood, and begin to make sense of what you’ve been carrying. We’ll gently explore patterns, process past experiences, and build practical tools to help you feel more grounded, safe, and in control.

As a therapist, my mission has been to help people come to a place where they realize that they are never too lost or never to broken to heal, to thrive, to love and be loved in return. I understand that there are neurological disorders and also times that medication is necessary, but I also strongly believe that a lot of our day to day struggles are rooted in our attachment relationships with ourselves and others along with trauma that we may or may not be aware of in our lives that has not been healed.

I have immediate openings Monday-Friday during the day and also offer some evening and Saturday times. I am certified in EMDR, TF-CBT, DBT and PCIT. I enjoy working with children, teenagers and families as a whole. When I work with couples I prefer to use the Gottman Method. I am an LGBTQ+ ally.

I work with clients who struggle with mental health and/or substance use concerns. I believe dealing with life problems involves building up one's "foundation," and gaining healthier alternatives to work through day-to-day challenges. Open-mindedness and willingness are key, and I can aid in strengthening that foundation.

Hello! I enjoy helping individuals with tackling life’s challenges and struggles; sometimes we just need someone we can confide in. I enjoy working with clients as young as 14yro to our experienced senior population. I specialize in working with symptoms related to depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and PTSD, however I do treat various other mental health needs. My approach is laid back, as I believe it can be quite difficult to open up in a sterile, clinical setting. Evenings and weekends are accommodated to as well.

Opening up to a complete stranger is uncomfortable, and can even feel impossible at first. That is why I believe in taking the time to develop a genuine therapeutic relationship that can serve as the foundation for meaningful growth. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly heard. I take pride in moving at my clients' pace while encouraging them to work outside of their comfort zone once trust and safety is built between us.
