Christian Counseling Therapists in Omaha, NE

Despite common adages, words do hurt. Discouraging things said to us can cause painful memories that we need healing from. I understand the impact unhealed grief, past trauma, and abuse can have on your life. It can diminish your confidence, self-esteem, self-image, and relationships and can be a source of depression and anxiety. It is not your fault what happened to you; it is ultimately your responsibility to heal. I am a licensed mental health practitioner with nine years of experience providing Christian counseling services to individuals struggling to heal from relationship conflict, loss, past trauma, and abuse.

Our behaviors are a direct result of the thoughts we have about our feelings. When we don't understand those feelings, our behaviors might not make sense to us. 17 years of working with adolescents in an educational setting gives me a unique perspective when it comes to therapy. I love working with families and adults alike to help them feel better about themselves and create lasting connections. Connection and relationships are what make humans unique and beautiful. Struggles with relationships are often an indication of struggles within oneself. Counseling is an opportunity to work on oneself, heal, so thriving is possible.

When adversities and life changing events become too overwhelming in your life, your first instinct may be to avoid it, fight it alone, or just give up. The truth is you don’t have to avoid it, fight it alone, and you definitely don't have to give up. It’s possible to learn how to deal with the changes and challenges that are going on around you. My goal as a therapist will be to support you on finding an approach that will look at the whole-person while encouraging healing of the mind, body, and spirit by delivering humanistic person-centered approach that will help shape a meaningful guidance to empower you on your life journey.

It is important to have a warm, safe place to discuss personal issues; a place where you can let your guard down and be accepted. Regardless of your stage of life, or the situation, your pain is real and can impact your life in many different ways. When faced with difficulties in your personal or work relationships, struggles with parenting, or any life transition, I believe that healthy and positive growth can result from a compassionate therapeutic relationship.

You or your child can relate to the stress or anxiety that life events or transitions can bring. This stress can often leave people stuck in endless worry or feelings of sadness and hopelessness. It is possible that your concerns are beginning to impact your sleep, relationships, job performance, or ability to do well in school. No matter how your presenting concerns are impacting you, I want to offer you a place to find renewed hope. We will work together to understand your struggles and build a plan that works best to meet your needs.
