Therapists in Omaha, NE

Sometimes we lose ourselves when we get caught up in the way we think we "should" be in various relationships, workspaces, and societal expectations. Losing or ignoring who we truly are can lead to relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and general life dissatisfaction. "Losing ourselves" can happen due to traumatic life circumstances and/or years of unrelenting pressures. Let's get curious about your passions, work together to let go of what's not working, and build a roadmap so you can step in to a more authentic you.

There are times in our lives that we can become stuck, not knowing how, where, or who to turn to.

I'll help you to untangle your emotional knots - so that you can rekindle your dreams toward living the life you truly deserve.

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Life (relationships, family, work, school, illness, and more) can knock us down causing us to feel a variety of emotions: discouraged, depressed, anxious, disappointed, confused, hopeless, not heard and many more. Whatever struggle or conflict you are facing, you are not alone. Life has many stages and transitions, which is normal, but if you're here, you probably don't feel so "normal". Therapy may feel scary, but most of my clients say it has liberating and life changing. I create a space where nothing is off limits, there are no judgements and every emotion is valid.

My intention is to help you explore the wound to find healing and growth. For my part, I provide authenticity, openness, and support in a safe place. This journey can be difficult and frightening at times but in the end, the wound is filled with hope, validation, and acknowledgment of the hard work.

Want to feel less stressed or worried? To live in confidence, not anxiety or fear? We can help. You don't have to feel edgy or burned out. Your life can be what you hope for, not worry about. Making mistakes, having things go wrong, and needing to heal is part of life and being human. So is forgiving ourselves and others and trying again. You can change direction and heal. Become free to take a new path knowing that you have a right to what you think and how you feel. The past doesn't have to control the present or predict the future. We can't change what's happened. But we can start where we are and make a new beginning.

Personally & professionally, I believe: 1) Attention is our most precious resource. 2) Most of us use only a fraction of our full potential. 3) Our perceived weaknesses are closely related to our greatest strengths. 4) Through intentional daily practice, we can improve the quality of our experiences. 5) Over time we can heal from trauma, unlearn harmful habits, and create meaning from loss.
