Therapists in Scottsbluff, NE

I believe that all human beings are innately good and have an inner drive to do and be better everyday. Individuals who come to see me are usually stuck or have trouble reaching their full potential by mental health symptoms, or other barriers in life. Individuals who come to see me range from those who are curious about change, and those who are severely impacted by mental illness or addiction in their lives.

Ideal clients are those seeking self-help life skills in creating balance in their lives. Mental Health therapies are used in combination with lifestyle assessment to create individualized, holistic plans developed through each clients perspectives and desired outcomes. Knowledge is the tool used in building better understanding of oneself and beginning a journey of enlightenment and empowerment for improvement in life. Guidance and resourcefulness of therapeutic practices motivate the processes of this journey and light the way for self-discovery.

My educational background as an MSW supports my understanding of the impact of past and current systems (i.e. family, work place, community) on daily life. Extensive training and experience in mediation has contributed to my non-judgmental approach, the ability to recognize potentially harmful communication patterns, and the understanding that people can see things differently without being "wrong". I utilize a variety of approaches including attachment theory, creative expression/play, mindfulness and CBT as needed by individual clients. I welcome clients of all ages, couples, and families. I accept Medicare, NE Medicaid, and a variety of insurance payment sources.

Life is a continual transition and it can be easy to feel left behind and unsure how to navigate these challenges. If you’re grappling with broken relationships, stressed out from juggling multiple responsibilities, discouraged by life's challenges, or experiencing a crisis of faith that has left you searching for answers, I believe that we can work together to bring your life back into balance. My goal is to assist you in experiencing a renewed sense of hope and purpose.

The love of people and the passion of working with others so they can heal from past experiences is what drew me into the field of counseling. What an amazing opportunity to watch people discover their full potential!

Most people do not choose to struggle, to suffer, to feel overwhelmed or helpless. Most children do not want to have behavioral issues, and most couples do not want to have conflict in their relationship. It takes courage for a person to admit that what they are doing is not working. The most successsful client is the client that wants to be in therapy for themselves- one who wants to have a better life experience, one who comes to therapy seeking for answers and skills with which to change their interactions with others and themselves, and to improve their circumstances.

My counseling style is welcoming and conversational. I am known for being upfront and honest always and blunt when needed, though I tailor my approach to meet each individual’s needs. My therapeutic approach combines Person-Centered, Reality Therapy, Solution-Focused therapist, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, and Somatic therapy depending on what you want or need.

Life is challenging, difficult, often times downright sad. It may seem too overwhelming and impossible to handle, most if not all have experienced life in these dark places. Competent and caring counselors can help you figure out how to get out of those places. What's your biggest challenge? Need help with coping skills, communication, relationship problems that can benefit from being less reactive and more responsive, decision-making, parenting skills like Circle of Security, resolution of situations that have haunted you too long that EMDR can help with, anxiety that seems to control your life, loss of someone or something?...

Do you feel off track? Life's pressures to perform, conform, be a role model, and avoid showing weakness, without a doubt impacts your mental health. You might be experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or a relationship challenge. We all go through difficult times in life and no one should have to face them alone. I will listen to you with objectivity, warmth, empathy, and genuineness. I value and enjoy being able to help others grow in their ability to practice resiliency. I am here to help you improve your well-being.
