Therapists in Omaha, NE

I believe in supporting my clients through all of life’s real and perceived challenges. Everyone needs someone to talk to- someone to help process through emotions, thoughts, experiences and events. A life worth living looks different from one person to the next and I enjoy helping people navigate this discovery. I help clients look at where they are, where they truly desire to be, and help search their soul to determine what they are willing to do to achieve their life worth living.

I see clients for individual therapy and psychological evaluations. My approach is individualized and based on my clients' needs, personal background, and goals. My therapy approach utilizes cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, & existential modalities, adapted specifically for my clients. I also incorporate positive psychology elements by being person-centered, non-judgmental, & utilizing strengths in developing goals & a plan for treatment. My clients can expect to gain insight into the nature of their difficulties, with an individualized plan for progress and improved functioning.

I offer specialized support for members of the public safety community, medical providers, and military personnel. I understand the unique burdens these careers can place on clients. Sometimes it's difficult to balance family and personal commitments with the demands of this incredibly stressful work. I work with individuals who wish to learn ways to enhance resiliency and achieve peak performance on the job, and enjoy a fulfilling life outside of work.

Are you struggling with feeling overwhelmed? Do you feel like no one gets you? Do you have trouble making decisions for fear you will make a mistake? Are you struggling with your identity or afraid to talk to friends and family about it? If you are dealing with any of these issues or are dealing with depression, anxiety or just are in the midst of a life event, I am here to work collaboratively with you to address the concerns and obstacles holding you back from being your authentic self and living your truth. I have been a therapist for over 34 years and have a background in both mental health and substance abuse.

I offer a compassionate and open environment to explore and release the obstacles that cause us to limit our full potential. I believe that we experience conditions such as anxiety, depression, etc. when we are living incongruently from our true nature or essence. Often times, experiencing these strong emotional symptoms is the first sign that we are living out of balance. The longer the imbalance is present, the more susceptible our bodies become to developing disease. Working through and releasing emotional blocks is an important step towards full integration of the body, mind, and spirit.

As a therapist I enjoy working with Teens, Young Adults, LGBTQI+, and Military individuals. Issues that I can address include depression, trauma, addiction, PTSD, self-harm, family conflict, peer relationships, and any life event you are struggling through.
