Family Therapy in York, NE

Life can be challenging and difficult. I am deeply passionate about helping others through those challenges. I have many years of counseling experience and have worked with many demographics of people including: couples, singles, parents, children, and adolescents. I am intensely strength based and believe in identifying the strengths of individuals to help them find solutions to their problems.

At some point during our life I believe that we have all wanted to hear "it's ok", "me too", to be supported or reinforced through challenging times. I enjoy working with women who have been impacted with anxiety, broken love languages, executive functioning difficulties, cyclical issues surrounding their monthly cycle, maternal mental health, as well as, those who just need someone to talk to. I believe that in our society we have too many pressures of judgment and I strive to provide a free environment. An environment free from judgement, free from stress, and a place to find your best sense of self.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
