Adults Therapists in South Sioux City, NE

There are times that life can give us an unexpected journey. This journey leaves us with issues that may have begun in childhood or in adulthood. As a counselor, I am here to help you work through and manage your problems that happen in your life’s journey. This can include personal life issues or family concerns. As you gain insight and self-awareness, we can continue to work together to come up with the tools to overcome the issues that may have impeded your quality of life. This will include building on the strengths you already have and the goals you want to achieve.

I believe in a rapport-based approach to therapy: mainly authenticity in communication and interpersonal development of relationships. I aim to remove stigmas and depathologize issues, focusing on outcomes over symptoms. My philosophy is that people are often unaware of their core values, or stressors have made them seem far too distant. When building acceptance around the reality of problems facing families, and focusing on objectives that improve wellness, change can occur. The behavioral interventions, objectivity, and support found in the therapeutic relationship help lead individuals and families to their goals.

We are a multiethnic and multiracial group practice that centralizes care for BIPoC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Clients who come to us are working though life challenges related to their identities. They are often in a process of self-exploration, working to make sense of their place and identity in the world where they are made to feel like "the other" and have been marginalized, traumatized, and blatantly microaggressed. We recognize the importance of finding providers who get it, from a shared and lived experience.
