TriWest Therapists in Waverly, NE

Currently not accepting new clients. No one escapes the human condition. It can be brutal. In this human condition are you able to be true to yourself? You need to know yourself in order to be true to yourself. (Often easier said than done.) How can you be true to yourself with the least amount of harm to others? What are your core values or rules? Where did you learn these rules? Do they serve you or cause you (or others) harm? Do you have freedom of choice? Do others in your life have freedom of choice? Do you force your rules on others? How do you move toward YOUR greatest & highest good, without causing harm to others?

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!!

Whether it is depression, mood swings, anxiety, anger, or any combination of these regardless of the causes, if you are ready to feel better and ready to work at it, we can cooperate to meet your goals.

Clients who seek help are generally looking for a wide spectrum of improvements in their life. I look at the big picture which includes, their personal happiness and their balance in life which includes relationships, family, work, play, personal health,growth, and spirituality. No matter their age or gender, all issues relate to their current diagnosis and life situation. Depression,self esteem, adjustment issues, and relationships are the focal point of every treatment plan.

The approach that I have to psychotherapy is to address the individuals needs, based on how they are viewing their world. The concerns of the individual becomes the focus of how they are utilizing their strengths and to provide supportive techniques for there success. Defining the goals and the pathways to reaching their goals is vital in the success of the therapeutic relationship. If we could look at this relationship as a partnership, then we can work together towards overall improvement of functioning.

I believe that the client should determine the goals for therapy, based on their particular concerns. Each client identifies how they would determine whether counseling was successful at the beginning of treatment. These become the therapeutic goals for our sessions. We typically meet weekly at the beginning of therapy and less frequently as therapy continues. Our sessions are 50 minutes long and we contract with most of the major insurance providers in the Lincoln, Nebraska area. We don't prescribe medications in our office and are happy to collaborate with medical providers and others (with a release of information).

I believe counseling can be used for many things... Addressing a crisis or trauma, identifying a goal & developing a path toward it, resolving current concerns and even sometimes helping to clarify why you feel differently than you used to. You are the expert on your life. My job is to help you fine tune that expertise and develop skills that contribute to you leading the life you want. I am not here to give you advice or tell you what to do, but rather to work with you as you address the challenges, questions or concerns you may be facing.

I help clients tame anxiety and depression - many who see improvement in 6-8 sessions. I hold a MA in Community Counseling and another in School Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Wyoming. My background includes working with adults, children, and teens, teaching parenting skills, drug and alcohol counseling, grief counseling, and working with people with disabilities.

My approach to counseling is to help raise my clients' awareness of their unique strengths and the possiblities available to them for change and growth. One way of empowering these changes is by exploring ways in which my clients may be operating under the influence of mistaken belief systems, and help them shift toward more hopeful, optimistic thinking. I encourage utilizing humor and self-compassion as tools for transformation. Over the years of my practice I have felt fortunate to have witnessed the courage, creativity and resliency of the people I have met.
