Therapists in York, NE

I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner, (three years in a residential setting and 12 years in private practice). I am also licensed as a Drug and Alcohol Counselor. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and elders in dealing with issues of grief, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, divorce, domestic violence, victims of abuse (both victim and perpetrator), posttraumatic stress disorder, and addictions.

Are you looking to simplify things, do you feel overwhelmed and lost, anxious and tired? If so, I’m here to help. I offer therapy through Video allowing you to connect with me anywhere you are, no need to rush to another location causing you stress and limited time. I work to help you manage your mental health, from mood disorders, trauma, relationship conflict, grief/loss, and other struggles you may experience. You are unique, your treatment should as well. My specialties include Trauma and Grief/Loss work, working to help others needing to be able to cope and adjust to a new way of life and living. Reach out, I'm here for you!

Every person wants happiness and contentment, but we also face challenges that leaves us confused, or even stuck. I realize it may not always be easy coming to a therapist, but personal growth, empowerment, and feeling whole are wonderful gifts to yourself. My hope is to foster trust by providing a safe environment to make sense of thoughts, feelings and pain. I love what I do and feel honored to gain your trust and hear about life, joys, and struggles.

My training has been quite diverse thus I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and needs. My ideal client is an individual who understands the need to seek help or guidance and is willing to work with me on these concerns. I have over 18 years of clinical experience and enjoy working with "systems" (e.g., schools, families, support systems). I prioritize consultation with schools when addressing school-based behaviors such as underachievement, learning disabilities, and bullying concerns. I take a "strength-based" approach, always attempting to work within the clients talents and building from that point forward.

I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step to finding support can be scary but I believe that YOU are worth investing in. As a person-centered clinician, my heart is in supporting and empowering individuals to know their worth and potential. As a woman, wife and mother of four, I understand firsthand how crucial it is to have emotional support throughout life transitions as well as during pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood. My personal experiences and professional training have led me to my work with many teens, young adults, parents, women and mothers. Reach out today to get started on your journey of healing.

I use a client-centered approach to therapy. I believe that you already have the answers, my job as a therapist is to support you in discovering those answers. I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I am licensed both as a therapist and a drug and alcohol counselor. I specialize in anxiety and depression. I use art for when requested. I never push art on anyone. My office is a nonjudgmental and professional yet comfortable environment. I will provide you with a safe space for you to express your feelings, develop insight, learn coping skills, identify goals, and how to reach them.

Taking time to listen and hear your struggles is the core of what I do. Learning new skills to help overcome these struggles is what you and I will do together. I strongly believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in therapy, therefore I will work with you at whatever pace necessary, so you feel safe and comfortable sharing your most vulnerable experiences. Processing and uncovering issues that connect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be challenging; you don't have to do it alone.

Are you struggling with anxiety and depression due to life transitions such as divorce, infertility, the death of a loved one, college stress or the loss of a dream, and seeking Christian counseling? Have you experienced trauma in your life and you feel stuck under the weight of worry and fear? Are “shoulds” and “musts” leaving you paralyzed with thoughts of “I’m not good enough” and “I don’t matter”? Often people wait to reach out until they feel depleted, resentful, and ashamed. I believe we get stuck due to our thinking, and the way we get unstuck is to change our thinking! But is it possible? Yes! It doesn't have to be this way.
