Welcome to Unleashed Counseling Supporting Growth, Balance, and Well-Being in Our Nebraska Communities Taking the step to seek therapy is a significant decision, and I am glad you are here. At Unleashed Counseling, my goal is to provide an inclusive, welcoming, and collaborative space for individuals from all walks of life. I am dedicated to offering professional mental health and substance use services to our rural Nebraska communities. I work with clients ages 7 and up, offering a supportive environment where you can address life's challenges at your own pace. An Integrated, Client-Centered Approach Because every individual’s experiences and needs are different, I utilize an integrated therapeutic approach along with creative expression. Rather than relying on a single methodology, I draw from a variety of evidence-based practices to find the tools and strategies that best align with your specific goals. Whether you are addressing mental health concerns, navigating substance use, or seeking guidance through difficult transitions, our work together will be tailored to your unique situation. Background and Experience My clinical practice is informed by a professional background working with youth and families within the Nebraska justice and Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) systems. This experience provided me with a foundational understanding of the complex systemic challenges that individuals and families often navigate. My academic and professional preparation includes: Master of Science in Clinical Counseling – Bellevue University Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice Administration -Bellevue University My Professional Commitment As a clinician, I am a dedicated advocate for my clients' well-being. I am committed to continuous professional development, regularly seeking opportunities to learn, grow, and refine my clinical skills to better serve our community. At Unleashed Counseling, my role is to provide the objective support, professional expertise, and collaborative space you need to work toward your personal goals. When you are ready to begin, I am here to assist you on your path.
