Therapists in Nebraska

I have 19 years of experience working in the mental health field in residential, outpatient, in-home, and hospital settings. The majority of that time has been spent working with individuals, children, and families dealing with trauma, abuse, relationship conflicts, depression, and anxiety, among other issues. My style begins with being person-centered. I don't believe there are cookie-cutter answers to life's challenges, so I begin by learning about you and what will best help you achieve your own goals.

Safety has been elusive in your life and trust is something that is a figment of the imagination. You're seeking "normal" and are not sure what "normal" actually is. Living in survival mode has become your way of life. Walking into my office or meeting via telelhealth your safety, emotional, mental, physical, is my first priority. We can't heal if we don't first feel a sense of safety. You want to be able to walk around in this world without fear, without being in fight, flight, freeze, feint, or fawn mode. You want healthy relationships and to thrive.

Life is about relationships, and it’s my responsibility as your counselor to both help you have the best relationships with other people and, perhaps even most importantly, with yourself. Utilizing counseling modalities like CBT, Transactional Analysis, Attachment Theory, and spiritually based healing modalities based off of scriptural wisdom (if desired), we will work together to create a lifestyle that will best leverage your life to create a foundation in healthy relationships, cultivating a ripple effect on each key area of your life (physically, mentally/emotionally, spiritually, and life purpose).

Let’s come together to discover your courage to grow, adapt, and prosper! Therapy is a beautiful process that empowers us to deepen our self knowledge and make breakthroughs in whatever is holding us back; whether things have gotten too difficult or you’re in a longstanding battle of feeling unwell.
