I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health practitioner in the state of Nebraska. I have been practicing as a therapist for the past 18 years, and have over 20 years experience in the social services field. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, and depression.
Taking the first step towards getting treatment can be intimidating; even scary. I will be here to support you every step of the way, demystifying the process, and meeting you with transparency. You will be empowered and in the know about your treatment throughout our journey. Therapy will move at your pace, but you will be challenged. Changing behavior, processing feelings, or even considering the origin of our beliefs is definitely hard work. I will meet you with unwavering support and compassion. You will not go at it alone!
While all people are different, and thus therapy looks different with each individual, there are some consistencies in how I approach therapy. I use a strength based approach. In other words, we will use your own strengths and interests to to help you heal. We will evaluate feelings using a cognitive behavioral approach where the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are explored. I also use a modality called brainspotting to access the subcortical part of the brain where we are impacted most by trauma.
It is the culmination of small steps that creates your journey. If you so choose, I'd be honored to walk with you on you way.
