Couples Counseling Therapists in Lincoln, NE

I strongly believe that therapy should not be limited to addressing immediate issues, but should also focus on long-term growth and fulfillment. In my practice, I encourage my clients to explore their goals and aspirations and work towards leading more fulfilling lives. By identifying their values and strengths, they can make meaningful changes and create a life that aligns with their true selves. If you or someone you know needs support, I am here to help. Whether you are struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other mental health concern, I want to support you on your path to a more fulfilling life.

I provide strength-based therapy for individuals, couples, and families who experience difficulties coping, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, difficulties adjusting, and low levels of self-worth. I utilize a cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approach to assist in setting goals, applying strengths, and finding new ways to cope with stressors. I've worked in both medical and agency settings with a consistent effort to treat the mind and body as a holistic unit.

Because every kind of emotional suffering deserves relief... 1) I treat trauma survivors with PTSD and depression; 2) I help couples or individuals who are struggling in partner relationships; and 3) I advise adults who are frustrated in their parenting adventures. Also, if you are surviving dissociative symptoms, are recovering from secret habits, are suffering with anxiety or bipolar disorder, hear voices, have a history of several psychiatric diagnoses, or haven't responded well to psychotropic medications, come talk to me. (**If you prefer a female clinician, I can connect you with a trusted, experienced female therapist.**)

Hi there! I'm so happy you're here! Seeking help can be intimidating, but I'm glad that you're taking an active step towards improving your overall wellness. I take a holistic approach to the counseling experience where I focus on one's lifespan including their past, present, and future. While your past may play a role in who you are today, I am a firm believer that it does not have to dictate where you're going. We all may experience similar concerns throughout life, but this is YOUR journey and it is unique to you.

At Origins, we are committed to supporting the whole person. We are dedicated to our mantra of "Health by choice, not by chance.". As a therapist, I believe that a person's emotional, physical and spiritual health are all equally important and one cannot exist without the others. For this reason, I work from a client's strengths to help them identify their goals and take deliberate, measurable and achievable steps toward finding the happiness and joy they desire in life. Emotional intelligence, communication effectiveness, relationship skills, mindful living and healthy parenting are some areas of focus.

I believe we all have a story to tell. Our life experiences shape who we are and how we think and behave. I feel honored when clients share their stories with me and allow me to help them navigate through these stories to gain a better understanding of themselves and possibly break free from unwanted thinking patterns and behaviors. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of a successful counseling experience and enjoy building these relationships with individuals and couples so we can start working together toward change.

I truly believe in the effectiveness of counseling when the client and counselor can work together to identify concerns and generate effective and realistic solutions. My approach to counseling stems from the belief that you are the expert on your own life and I will work with you to find insight and create meaningful solutions that will impact the quality of your life. My goal is not to judge, but is instead to create a safe space where we can explore areas of difficulty together. Client’s I’ve worked with appreciate my ability recognize the uniqueness of each person’s story and provide an individualized approach.

Does it ever feel like life has gotten too overwhelming? All the things you’re experiencing are happening so fast and it feels like it can all be too much. I want to offer an opportunity to explore some of these struggles and how you can navigate your life to feeling better. It is my goal to provide you a warm and inviting environment that is safe for you to feel seen, heard, and understood in your exploration of yourself and your experiences. I know that you have strengths and therapy is an opportunity to use those strengths to reach your goals.

Have you experienced a significant life event or noticed you would like help improving your life? I specialize in treating trauma and significant life events. I am EMDR trained. Additionally, I can also offer adjunctive EMDR so you can continue working with your primary therapist and we can work through your trauma related concerns. I also specialize in treating drug and alcohol addiction or concerns. If you would like to include anyone in your treatment, I can also provide assistance to couples.

We were made for relationships…like good relationships — with God, one another and ourselves. But that’s easier said than done, right? We get hurt. Or we do some of the hurting. We feel fractured, broken and bent. So what would it look like to reconnect and experience life the way we were meant to: whole, vulnerable, loved and well, connected? I want to help you get there. Let's find a way to reconnect.

My ideal client seeks self-exploration & understanding, facing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. They need a supportive space for personal growth, aiming to gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve communication, & foster healthy relationships. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.

Now Accepting New Clients: Recognizing your struggling and wanting to seek help is hard. Working toward healing and sitting in a therapy room ready to share your experiences is one of the most difficult things we can do as humans. If you are ready to begin your healing journey or continue your process, I strive to provide a safe space where you can be seen, heard, and acknowledged. A place where it is safe to sit with the scary, dark, worrisome, happy, and hopeful parts of you and work toward a place you want to be. I primarily work with individuals and couples.

I received my degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and have added certifications in Financial Social Work Counseling and Wellness Coaching. In addition to being strengths based and solution focused, I draw upon cognitive behavioral approaches, systems theory and person centered therapy. My clinical experience includes working with teens and adults from all backgrounds who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, issues surrounding gender and/or sexual identity, or traumatic events. I am comfortable with any person in any topic area.

We are made for relationships. When we don't have good relationships, the rest of life becomes overwhelming. Therapy is about learning how to relate to people in a healthy way, with good boundaries, emotional intelligence, and (appropriate) love. By looking at the past and how it shapes the present, we can be more free to choose a different future. Healing comes for those who don't want to repeat the past anymore but have freedom moving forward with those that they love. We will work on this goal together.

I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to make goals and work towards positive change. My priority is to listen to clients’ experiences, learning their strengths and challenges, so we can work together to overcome their obstacles. I strive to make my office a safe place to laugh, cry, feel, process and grow.
