Therapists in Omaha, NE

Are you feeling stuck in life? Overwhelmed with day-to-day activities? Looking to find joy and happiness in each day? Sometimes it may feel like life kicks us when we are already down. My goal is to help you live your best life and get through hiccups along the way.

Whether this is your first time seeking support or if you've participated in counseling in the past, my goal is to meet you where you are in your journey to psychological wellness. You may have identified specific challenges and goals that you want to address or you may simply know that you are in need of support. Life is rarely easy and occasionally we all need to seek help and resources to help us navigate through the ups and downs. If you're struggling with challenging life circumstances that are impacting you, your relationships and/or your career, counseling can help you regain control and feel more fulfilled.

That's it! You've had enough!! Life has dealt you something unlivable and you need help. You can't imagine it being easier, different. For a second, try and imagine someone offering support, guidance, and validation to help you process and overcome those difficult moments. Together we can help ease the tension, reduce the stress, change the helplessness, and move toward a more livable existence. With specialty training I help clients achieve this through various therapy tools, like EMDR, talk therapy, music, Play Therapy and expressive art therapy.

My practice focuses on helping individuals and families utilize healthy coping skills to deal with life situations and mental health related concerns. I focus on issues related to adoption, abuse, attachment, anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, obsessive compulsive disorder, grief/loss, mood dysregulation, trauma, and impulse control difficulties. I have recently started co-facilitating DBT informed skills groups. I have extensive training in EMDR treatment, cognitive behavioral treatment strategies, and am a registered play therapist.

We as individuals seek to learn who we truly are and to obtain acceptance, both internally and externally.

Do you feel anxiety at school, work, with friends or a significant other? Do you have trouble adjusting in relationships? Sometimes the challenge of a life transition, or the grief of losing someone special can pull us out of balance or keep us feeling on edge. These are all good signs that seeking therapy could be helpful, and I encourage you to take the next step. What I offer is a safe space for creatively exploring feelings that may be hard to put into words, and a thoughtful dialog for mutual understanding. I often provide art-making directives to enhance the therapeutic process.
