I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Nebraska and I have 6 years of experience. I understand that reaching out for support and asking for help can be intimidating, but I am here to listen without judgement so that we can work together to develop a plan to address your concerns and discover solutions. I enjoy helping people make changes in their lives and seeing them become successful. I approach each individual with respect and openness. I like to use a strengths based perspective in my work to help people dig a little deeper from within so they can find characteristics or skills they might not even know about themselves. I enjoy listening to the story the the individual is willing to share, that way I can meet them where they are at. The longest experience I have had for Social Worker Clinical work is within with Correctional setting. I assisted incarcerated individuals who were ready to be released into the community create discharge plans so that they would be prepared to do well and be successful once released. While I worked in Corrections I was also able to gain valuable therapeutic skills by assisting clients with Anger Management, Coping with life changes, Domestic Violence concerns, some Sex offender discharge planning issues and treatment, Women's issues, Anxiety, Trauma, and Isolation. I can interact with you for sessions via video, phone or messaging. Keep in mind that working through video conferencing would be very helpful to get to know each other. My availability would consist of evenings on the weekends for right now, but I plan to check my messages at least once a day. I have been trained in motivational interviewing, trauma informed care, and Dialectical Behavioral Treatment. I know how important it is to find the right therapist to meet your needs. I wish you the very best in your search for not only the right therapist for you but also the first step towards change in your life. I look forward to working with you!

I have approximately 12 years' experience assisting people as a clinical counselor in both the clinical setting in office and the virtual setting. I specialize in depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and attachment and bonding. I am trained in multiple modalities of therapy, and I individualize my treatment to what your specific needs are. Life can be difficult to navigate through and no one should feel like they must go through it alone. I have discovered that building a supportive and enthusiastic relationship through therapy, can create a safe place to explore life struggles, understand difficult issues, develop new skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations to lead a more successful life. I believe that within a safe, trust-filled therapeutic relationship, people can decide upon and implement the changes necessary to improve their lives. My goal is for you to feel understood, validated, and free of judgement. If you are ready for a wonderful change in your life and would like some support, let's work together.

I am dually licensed in both Washington and Nebraska. Over the past 16 years, I have been working with individuals in a variety of settings from community behavioral health, youth focused services, and most recently in a primary care physician setting. I am a proponent of Motivational Interviewing and Person Centered Therapy. We will be able to tailor an individualized approach that works for you! I am ready to guide you in developing evidence-based skills and techniques to process traumatic experiences, strengthen resiliency, foster personal growth, and gain sustainable healthy relationships. Another option that some people prefer is a simple emotional outlet. I am here to listen and provide support for you.

I hope as you read my profile, you will know that if you decide to work with me, I will give you my respect, encouragement, and share my knowledge with you. Our sessions will be focused on finding solutions to your issues, whatever they might be. I am an independent licensed mental health counselor, and have worked in the field for over twenty years. During that time, I have worked with individuals, couples that are together, and couples that are separated. I have worked with families coping with addiction, and many individuals coping with mental health issues such as: depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, OCD, ADHD, to mention a few. Sometimes problems were precipitated by life changes such as : loss of loved one, health , financial issues, and work and family conflicts. My approach is client-centered which was Carl Rogers' approach, simply "make friends". I want my clients to feel emotionally safe and know that we are in this recovery together. We assess the problem and make the treatment plan together. I also use Reality Therapy which helps them assume responsibility for their choices and actions and as they learn this, make better decisions going forward. CBT and RET are two more modalities that I find useful. All these are helpful tools for clients, but I find it's important to teach clients the art of forgiveness for others and themselves, "acceptance ". Add a dose of humor now and then, and life feels much lighter and worth living!! Clients actually look forward to their sessions. I hope you'll consider coming in to work together.
