Omaha, NE 68154
I understand the anxiety and stresses that life can bring, especially negativing adjustments and change. Through support, there can be profound healing & growth. Navigating childhood, parenting, or the postpartum journey with support can make the greatest impact, knowing you are not alone. I believe individuals need to feel heard, understood, and supported to find healing. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults find their voice through play and believe change can happen when we feel heard, cared for, and understood.

Is your child or teen getting on your last nerve? Are they defiant, angry, sad or withdrawn? Changes in the family structure, through a breakup, divorce, or death of a family member, often create confusion and unexpressed feelings in kids. Financial worries, relocating, peer pressure, violence, and other stressors at school and in the neighborhood, can lead to behavioral problems. Your child might have stopped opening up to you because they didn't want to worry you, or fear they'd be in trouble. I understand. I specialize in helping school-age children, teens, and their parents through challenging times.

My primary goal is to provide you or your child with a safe space to process, heal, and problem solve.
I have worked with children and young adults experiencing a variety of mental health issues and trauma. Our office specializes in individuals with eating disorders, however, we offer outpatient counseling for a variety of issues, including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, ADD management, trauma-focused therapy, etc. I completed my internship of over 1000 hours in a medical rehabilitation hospital, so I am well versed in medical trauma as well as helping clients find a new normal after a life-altering event.

Daily routines and simple tasks can sometimes feel like a power struggle with children. You have tried everything to only experience temporary or no success. Life doesn't stop for tantrums, where giving up and giving in seems easier so you can get out the door. Parent-Child Interactive Therapy PCIT benefits families by acquiring skills to increase positive interactions and ability to regulate emotions when facing stressors and challenges. I enjoy helping parents regain confidence in themselves as daily routines become easier and your child builds trusting, healthy boundaries. PCIT treatment, generally, is best for kids ages 2-7yrs.

Everyone always says parenting is hard, but that it is so worth it… leaving you to wonder when that will be true for you and leaving you to feel guilty when you feel like screaming at your toddler for not listening, or pulling your hair out due to your child excessively worrying about nothing, or walking on eggshells around your moody teenager. While you’re still figuring out how to navigate and adjust to each new phase of your own life, you’re also trying to teach your kids how to be human and how to find their own authentic selves in this changing world.

Does it seem like your child or teen is speaking a different language at times? As parents, it can be difficult understanding his or her behavior and/or angst. Children from infancy through adolescence can seem unmanageable at times causing parents to feel overwhelmed and powerless. Why continue struggling?
