I am a mental health therapist in Nebraska. My experience has brought me an incredible range of client's and issues. I focus much of my time on helping those with experiences of trauma or abuse, parenting problems, major life changes/stressors, and people looking to "take the next steps" in their life.
I can best describe by counseling style and personality as authentic and interactive. I believe in openness, compassion, and no "trick questions." I utilize CBT, DBT, solution-focused, and trauma-focused approaches among others. However, research shows that the best predictor of successful counseling is the strength of the therapeutic relationship. Therefore, I believe that building an authentic, supportive relationship is the most important approach.
If you've make it this far, you're on the right track. Now consider taking the next step to empower your wellness and your life.
I look forward to connecting with you!
