Therapists Beginning With Z in Nebraska

Welcome to my practice! I specialize in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and related disorders. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder involves experiencing distressing, intrusive thoughts. Intrusions are paired with repetitive behaviors. Themes include contamination, causing unintentional harm, perfectionism, religion, relationship, sexual orientation, and "bad thoughts" (violent, sexual, taboo). When addressing OCD, my preferred method of treatment involves Exposure Therapy with Response Prevention. Individuals with Hoarding Disorder experience significant distress when discarding possessions. Avoiding this distress results in an accumulation of items that intrude on one's living space. In treatment, it is important to address both acquisition and factors that interfere with discarding.

I now only work online through Skype. I have worked with a variety of issues over my 30 years in my profession. I have been an Adjunct Instructor in the UN-O Graduate Counseling Department, Consultant to area psychiatric programs, Director of Outpatient programs, and a presenter to a wide range of businesses as well as my outpatient practice. I like the diversity of my practice in terms of diagnostic features rather than a particular specialty. My many years of practice have allowed me to work with such a wide range of circumstances and issues.

It's not a sales pitch when I say that I genuinely believe we all could benefit from seeing a therapist. It can be difficult to reach out for help when we need it, especially if we have been down the road of asking for help and not getting the help we need. Life simply is too difficult to go at it alone and therapy is a great way to begin the process of tackling what life throws at us head on. So whether you struggle with trauma, balancing life, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, etc. let's take the first steps into pursuing a healthier, growth oriented life.

Now accepting NEW clients! All too often, we seek support and are left feeling dismissed or that there is something wrong with us, but this is not rooted in truth. I believe so much of our daily functioning and self-conceptualization is learned and stems from the experiences we have in life. As we uncover the context of your unique situation, I work to provide a safe, supportive space to validate and process the experiences you've had. I strive to facilitate healing by exploring the root issues, resulting in a greater sense of inner peace.

I am accepting new clients at this time. Are you struggling to help your child succeed in school or in social settings, feeling like things are out of control, or feeling stuck and unable to get over some of life's hurdles? In a confidential, caring environment, my commitment is to partner with you to identify solutions that work specifically for you. I look at therapeutic support as helping individuals and families within an integrative approach that promotes wellness in all areas of life – physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual.

What's holding you back? What's keeping you from reaching your goals, feeling a sense of joy in life, engaging in healthy relationships, or finding and maintaining fulfilling work? The answer to that question may be that you aren't entirely sure what's stopping you. Sometimes life can be a struggle and we all need support to get through the tough times. I can offer you that support through the healing process. I am a trauma-informed therapist who strives to create a safe environment for clients to heal and grow.
