Psychoanalytic Therapists in Elkhorn, NE

When something interrupts you from having a satisfying quality of life, therapy can be an illuminating and powerful way to uncover what is happening and create new pathways for a different experience. Depression, anxiety, personality issues, trauma and life events such as loss, divorce and illness can greatly impact your day to day experience of living. Together we will gain an understanding of your struggle and challenges. Utilizing your strengths, we can develop new ways for you to have a different experience of your life and of yourself, informed by a deeper and clearer understanding of your unique internal world.

Every person is unique and capable of realizing their potential in an optimal environment. However, life is filled with so many challenges and it is not unusual to feel discouraged or unable to meet those challenges. Building a relationship based on acceptance and trust with my clients is my priority. I listen carefully and help them develop an understanding of what has led them to unsatisfying thoughts, feelings and behaviors. We explore and identify how significant past experiences have shaped their present life.When working with teens, parents are essential part of the therapy and always welcome to collaborate.

There are times in our lives that we can become stuck, not knowing how, where, or who to turn to. We may feel lost, alone, depressed, angry, traumatized, fragmented, hopeless, afraid - floundering & needing direction. Does this sound like your situation? I'll help you to untangle your emotional knots - so that you can rekindle your dreams toward living the life you truly deserve. I specialize in issues of empowerment with a focus on your humanity and relationships (less on diagnostic labels). Welcome!

Greetings! I am looking forward to partnering with you toward meeting your mental health goals. I believe in a whole-person approach to counseling that encompasses the mind, body, soul and spirit. I value you, your autonomy, uniqueness and ideals. My desire is to walk beside you, build a strong therapeutic relationship and help you find relief from your distress and peace in your journey. I have many years of life experience that make my view and counseling from grace and compassion possible whether you feel your need is big or small, it is important to me.

I believe we desire and deserve to live lives full of connection, purpose, fulfillment and love. This means feeling worthy from within and engaging in healthy, supportive relationships. Our self-doubt, critical voice, feeling not good enough and unhealthy relationships all get in the way of achieving this. I feel many of our current struggles are rooted in childhood stemming from our early attachments and the roles we have fallen into. To heal from within involves not only becoming aware of our unconscious attachment patterns but also courageously facing underlying emotions uncovered via the safe, vital therapeutic relationship.

I provide a comforting, safe, and confidential environment, and work with people who are currently experiencing issues that are causing them to feel unhappy. My goal is to recognize each person's individual needs for therapy so they may find clarity surrounding their feelings, thoughts and relationships. I believe that therapy provides a safe place to receive guidance, through a nurturing therapeutic relationship, where they can explore issues in their life, set goals for change and healing, learn more effective coping skills and work towards greater fulfillment and happiness in their daily lives.
