About

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.) Because lasting change in relationships is within reach...I use a special blend of couple systems therapies to help partners and parents adjust patterns, see one another in the best light, and use team support to restore the best communication, harmony, trust, and forgiveness. Because brain repair is more than just possible--it is happening in outpatient therapy sessions every day... my therapy is informed by a growing body of research that brings us encouraging news: therapeutic exercises produce changes in the mind, which lead to long-term positive changes in the physiology of brain. Come see me, and we can heal your mind. Specialties: I treat individual adults with anxiety disorders including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), mood disorders including Major Depressive Disorder (depression), psychological trauma including attachment trauma, and unresolved grief or trouble regulating emotions and thoughts. I also treat traumatized couple relationships. Credentials & Experience: I have been licensed since December 1997. My current designation (since 2008) is Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP Nebraska license number 377). I have over 30 years (around 45,000 hours) of clinical experience as a therapist, yet my approach is as cutting-edge as you can find.

"Ask about treatment in Iowa! I use integrated protocols from up to twelve models of therapy, including systemic and trauma-based paradigms such as AIP/EMDR, The Trauma Model, and Relational Life Therapy. Most people experience this integrated therapy differently than traditional talk therapy, and with better results."
