I had 2 months of counselling with Gerald and I really looked forward to every session. We had a great rapport and he always knew the right words to say. Sometimes he challenged me, sometimes he agreed with me, but he always listened to me and gave me sensible suggestions. I couldn’t recommend Gerald highly enough. All round solid gentleman and an excellent counsellor.

As a licensed therapist serving Nebraska, I bring over 15 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate stress, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and personal growth. I specialize in addressing a wide range of emotional experiences, from workplace challenges and midlife transitions to issues of identity, attachment, and multicultural concerns.
My approach is compassionate and holistic, focusing on understanding each person's unique journey. I work collaboratively with clients to explore self-love, communication patterns, and healing from past experiences. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship difficulties, or seeking greater life purpose, I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where you can develop meaningful insights and strategies for personal transformation.
I deeply respect the diversity of human experience and strive to provide culturally responsive care that honors your individual background and perspective. My goal is to support you in building resilience, understanding yourself more deeply, and moving toward the life you envision.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
