Male Therapists in Bellevue, NE

I am here to help! We all face situations or challenges from time to time that we might not be quite sure how to handle. I am here to partner with you and help you through those times, or even act as a sounding board if you just need to talk! My counseling approach builds on a simple foundation – getting to know you. No two people are the same, and no two situations are exactly the same. I truly enjoy getting to know people, what your strengths are, what your challenges are, and what your goals are. We can work together to establish a treatment to achieve them, and maybe even have some fun along the way!

I invite clients to explore their problems by working to create a safe, accepting environment. Believing that a problem holds the key to its solution, I try to help clients hear what they are saying and pay attention to the way they see things. Symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and relationship problems often echo patterns or concerns we have carried for years. I encourage clients to say what they think and feel so they can accept where they are, see the possibility of change, and take the risk of acting different.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to visit my page. My clients come to therapy with a variety of different needs and goals. I love to work with clients in developing goals that are tailored to their individual needs. We will work collaboratively to explore underlying issues and come up with solutions that are designed to build resilience and coping skills. No one wants to feel alone and isolated in their struggles and I am here to help.

I have worked in the Omaha and surrounding communities for over 30 years in community service agency and private practice . I am licensed for both mental health and alcohol/drug counseling. I have had the opportunity to experience a wide variety of issues that people bring to psychotherapy as well as being mentored by leading practitioners in the area. My general area of practice involves treating adolescents and adults with concerns or questions related to depression/anxiety, substance abuse, relationship/marriage, sexual orientation/gender identity/coming out, and trauma. I work with individuals, families and couples. My office is a Safe Space for LGBTQ clients.

You might wonder if hypnotherapy is available in the midst of a pandemic - when all the therapists have switched to telehealth platforms. Yes, it is! We simply must plan carefully, so that the process remains safe and comfortable. While everyone's reaction to hypnosis is unique and personal - it has a potential of effecting powerful change for you. You can begin to face what you've been avoiding - and do so with more confidence. I strive to make your sessions productive, so that you make the progress you want. It's a big decision to start therapy - so don't hesitate to ask questions up front.

I specialize in treating those clients with who are Dually-Diagnosed, with mental health disorders in addition to addiction issues. I am Certified by EMDRIA in the use of EMDR for Sexual Trauma and other Childhood issues. I also offer couples counseling and co-dependency counseling for significant others.

Unfortunately, everyone experiences painful events at times in their life. Helping people to rebuild their lives back to what it was before or building a whole new life is something I have enjoyed doing for nearly 25 years.

I have specialized training and have emphasized in my practice the work of resolving the impact of traumatic experiences--helping individuals to break free of the past and move forward in their lives with greater functionality.

My qualifications to counsel include: state licensure, board certification, and a masters degree in counseling. In addition, an undergraduate degree in philosophy and a second masters degree in spiritual development allow me a foundational understanding to address core-value issues.

I believe empathy, collaboration, and motivation are vital in counseling. As a clinician, I want to learn about what has gotten you to this point. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental environment to help facilitate this. I am particularly interested in your strengths, resources, past efforts, and goals including what you feel can and can't be done. I believe most problems stem from suppressed emotions, interpersonal difficulties, environmental stressors, or distorted beliefs and assumptions. Together, we will work to select the most effective course to achieve changes you want and need.
