Therapists in Nebraska

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.

Every person deserves Dignity and Respect. We all sometimes need help. A different perspective and a reason for Hope can be important goals of counseling. We all approach life doing "The Best We Can". Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors all influence how we are doing. I have been in practice for 20+ years and works with individuals and families. I have experience working with the children/ teens, juvenile court system/probation, youth who sexually harm, Marital/family conflict, and behavioral/parenting issues. I am also a member of the Nebraska Academy of Collaborative Professionals and am trained in mediation.

At Fireside Counseling, my goal is to empower you to live your best life. I have over 15 years of experience in counseling students, professionals, athletes, children, couples and families. My aim is to help you meet your goals in a relaxed and comfortable setting.

Every human being experiences difficult moments in life. Those who choose to begin therapy are best able to navigate these times and see change they desire. I enjoy helping individuals achieve their goals. These goals include overcoming depression, anxiety, or anger; acheiving stabilizing peace to ongoing family conflict; or successfully navigating a major life transition. I've spent more than a decade helping adults, parents, teenagers, children, and families with their unique situations.

I provide online therapy individuals and families looking to overcome personal challenges, such as marital issues, grief, depression, anxiety, anger, sex therapy, relationship issues, a major life transition or spirituality issues. I've spent nearly 2 decades in ministry-helping kids, teens, adults, parents, groups, and families navigate their unique situations. I have over 8 years of military service, traveled the world and embrace all peoples, cultures, and beliefs. I use a holistic, nonjudgment, and multicultural approach to counseling. I am here to journey with you and to help you achieve your counseling goals if you let me.

Through my work with teens, young adults, and families over the years I have developed an authentic, warm, and inviting approach to therapy. I provide therapy to address a wide variety of concerns including; stage of life transition, crisis, depression, anxiety, oppositional behaviors, trauma recovery, relational interactions, family dynamics, and personal exploration. My professional journey includes specialized work in helping children and adolescents heal from trauma and manage behavioral concerns, and I have acquired years of experience working with parents and families in crisis.

Therapy really thrives when a client is ready to change either themselves or the situations that they find themselves in. Whether you are struggling with life-changing topics like divorce, a death in the family, or persistent depression or just need someone to lend a supportive ear, I strive to empower clients to make those enriching changes to their lives. Depending on what kind of client you are we will collaborate and plan an approach that instills the change you want to see in your life.

Does something need to change in your life, or are you making promises that seem harder and harder to keep? Feel like a cartoon character walking around with a storm cloud following you? Perhaps something happened to you that you didn't deserve, or you experienced something painful that feels fresh? Mental Health can be a mysterious stranger who lingers in your life unexamined or unquestioned, and it can impact every aspect of self and the different contexts you exist within (work-setting, family/kids, and other significant relationships). Most importantly it can distort what you see in the mirror everyday.

My ideal client inherently knows that something in their world is amiss, and they are ready to go on a journey to discover, uncover and evaluate the source of that sore spot. They have a wide-ranging set of issues, needs, and goals. They want to walk with someone on the journey to a better self and improved self-efficacy. They search for a better tomorrow that they can fully participate in.

Life has a way of letting us know when it is time to reach out. Are you feeling overwhelmed, burdened, stressed, and ready for change, but not sure where to begin? Do you feel you have more to offer, but feel stuck? Then counseling is the right setting to have a conversation that may open doors to problem solving and provide tools for guidance. Growing up working in the family restaurant and being active as a student athlete, I didn't have the tools to manage the stress around me. While I was helping others to perform as a personal trainer, I knew I needed to become a counselor to help in a more wholistic way.

Is your child or teen getting on your last nerve? Are they defiant, angry, sad or withdrawn? Changes in the family structure, through a breakup, divorce, or death of a family member, often create confusion and unexpressed feelings in kids. Financial worries, relocating, peer pressure, violence, and other stressors at school and in the neighborhood, can lead to behavioral problems. Your child might have stopped opening up to you because they didn't want to worry you, or fear they'd be in trouble. I understand. I specialize in helping school-age children, teens, and their parents through challenging times.

There are challenges in everyone’s life that can seem daunting. At such times, we need and deserve an understanding, compassionate, knowledgeable guide to assist us in identifying the thoughts and feelings associated with our current difficulties. Factors like background, ethnicity, race, and family dynamics are significant contributing elements that can be essential to clarifying and understanding the client’s situation. The goal for each client is to develop an achievable course of action that leads to effectively managing and reducing their distress.
