Therapists Beginning With W in Nebraska

I have been working with adolescents, adults and families since the mid 1980's. Substance abuse, depression, anxiety, LGBT and family issues are the areas that I have the most experience in. I believe folks come to therapy because some aspects of their lives are not working...we will explore these issues and move to get you where you want and need to be. I have many years of various types of training, but the most important is to get people back to being comfortable, happy and productive in their own world. Compassion and humor are extremely important values to find in each of our lives!!

Currently Accepting New Clients. Are you recognizing you are not feeling your best, are you overwhelmed and struggling, depressed, anxious or tired? I’m here to help. I work to help you with your mental health, from grief/loss, depression, anxiety, bipolar, trauma, relationship conflict, and other struggles you may experience.

My aim is to follow you into whatever calls for your attention, develop a trusting and authentic relationship with you in order to explore it, as well as use and provide tools as necessary to help you overcome whatever it is that you face. My work is informed by relational psychodynamic theory, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), somatic therapy, parts work, and Buddhist psychology. I work with individuals, couples, and groups ages 12 and older, whether it be short-term and solution-oriented or long-term and exploratory.

I believe that all human beings are innately good and have an inner drive to do and be better everyday. Individuals who come to see me are usually stuck or have trouble reaching their full potential by mental health symptoms, or other barriers in life. Individuals who come to see me range from those who are curious about change, and those who are severely impacted by mental illness or addiction in their lives.

Days can move slow, but life often moves fast. It is easy to get stuck in the scripts of our life roles and feel as if we have lost our unique identity. Do you want to be more engaged in life, feel more at peace, and be more deeply connected to yourself and your loved ones? I am here to help.

Non-medication approaches and interventions for mental health needs. I utilize a common sense approach to finding solutions to complex problems. I will work with you to find a solution as soon as possible and make every attempt to use a brief model of treatment. My specialty is working with kids with behavioral issues and helping families with teens that are struggling. I have also worked a great deal with adults on a variety of issues and find great enjoyment in helping people move forward in their life.

I am currently welcoming new clients for individual, family, or couples therapy. As a Certified Marriage and Family Therapist, my passion lies in facilitating positive transformations within families, couples, and individuals. In our sessions, we can address and overcome challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, family dynamics, stage of life changes (relationship changes, children, loss, career change, graduation, retirement, etc...), chronic and acute illness, and personal growth.

"Life’s difficulties can be overwhelming and at times feel unmanageable. Utilizing aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques, I can assist you in learning skills to manage life’s stressors and decrease that overwhelming feeling. Together, we can navigate through the therapeutic process and find what is comfortable for you. I assist individuals to address things such as relationships, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, and behaviors. I provide therapy for ages five and up for individuals, couples, families and groups. We also offer teen, adult male and female groups.

My role is to assist you on your path to healing and recovery by equipping you with the essential skills and tools needed to enact the changes you seek. My approach is multifaceted, rooted in methodologies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, all tailored to forge a therapy process that is uniquely client-centered. My aim is to empower individuals to surmount challenges, foster resilience, and realize enduring positive transformation.

Over the years, I have spent a great deal of time working with children and adults who have experienced traumatic events. These traumatic events may be difficult to understand and can impact our daily interactions at school, home, and work. When those experiences become overwhelming, working with a therapist who is specifically trained in trauma can be very helpful to the individual and family. In addition to providing services for trauma, I work closely with individuals (of all ages) who have anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, and chronic medical conditions. Clinical services may be provided in the office, home, school or via telehealth.

Do you feel anxious or overwhelmed? Do you feel guilty for saying "no" or wish you had better boundaries? Maybe you find yourself self-sabotaging and wish you knew how to stop.

I became a therapist because your life is worth my time. I'm so glad you're here. Whether this is your first or fifth time seeking a therapist, welcome! Regardless of the reasons why you're interested in starting or continuing your therapy journey, it can be complicated to be at this stage of trying to find the right fit for you. I'm happy to help. I approach therapy through a collaborative and humble lens. I may have degrees and licenses that make me educated in this field but I am not an expert of YOU. So you and I will work together to make the changes you see fit and identify the areas of life you would like to improve.

I am happy you are considering me as a therapist who can help you work towards self-improvement and achieving your personal mental health. Therapy services can seem scary and overwhelming, just like living with depression, anxiety, or trauma, but it can be a great step towards overcoming and beginning your new personal growth. Therapy often results in many of my clients leading a more healthy and enjoyable life.
