Adults Therapists in Omaha, NE

I am passionate about working with people who are dealing with mental health and substance use. My specialty is working with co-occurring challenges to move toward healthy living through trauma-informed care.

Stress and challenges are a part of life but sometimes a person will find themselves drowning in feelings of loneliness, hopelessness and fear. Sometimes these feelings and thoughts become are so overwhelming that people literally feel held hostage by despair. People become paralyzed with fear unable to make a decision because of self-doubt. People lose the will to face the day stop taking care of themselves. My typical clients range from teenagers to adults with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, anger management issues, ADHD, PTSD, codependency, poor stress management or coping and other various mental health conditions.

Every human being experiences difficult moments in life. Those who choose to begin therapy are best able to navigate these times and see change they desire.

I've spent more than a decade helping adults , parents, teenagers, children, and families with their unique situations.

Setting and some times re-establishing rules, boundaries and expectations for your children and family is vital for a happy home.

I have over 7 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults . Some of my areas of expertise include: treating depressive disorders, ADHD, and issues of self-esteem. I specialize in working with males 12 and up.

Life is a journey. How often have you heard that? As we find our road through life, we all need inspiration and guidance. Having an outside perspective to navigate that journey can help us view our path through a different lens. It is my goal as your therapist to create a safe, supportive, and accepting environment for you to share your story. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for therapy. Whether it's learning coping skills, practicing mindfulness, or just having someone to talk to, I get it. Life isn't easy and you don't have to tackle this journey alone.
