Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Lincoln, NE

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families & children who are impacted by a variety of conditions and who are struggling with life issues. Life balance is the goal and that is done through my work, with anxiety, depression, relationships, loss, trauma and children with behavioral disorders. Many people struggle with a variety of emotional challenges. An inability to manage emotions and behaviors effectively can negatively impact relationships. I help people identify their strengths, understand, experience and express their emotions in appropriate ways.

I have a doctorate degree with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. Practicing since 1989, my current work focuses on couples counseling, individual issues and family business/ organizational consulting. A father of six and married since 1981, I try to bring practical, real-world experience to solving the common issues many of us have through out the life-cycle.
