Chronic Pain Therapists in Omaha, NE
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.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when life already feels heavy. My goal is to make this process feel safe, collaborative, and centered around you. I work to create a space where you can show up as your full self — without judgment — and begin to understand your emotions, patterns, and needs more deeply.
I balance empathy with honesty. You’ll find warmth and compassion in our sessions, but also gentle challenges that help you grow, gain clarity, and build confidence in your own choices. Therapy should be a partnership — one that helps you heal and reconnect with yourself.

Seeking therapy often means recognizing that something no longer feels sustainable. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating long-standing family dynamics, caregiver fatigue, anxiety, or the residual effects of trauma. Despite being capable, insightful, and responsible, they may feel emotionally stretched, stuck in familiar relational patterns, or disconnected from themselves. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, gain clarity, and develop more sustainable ways of relating to yourself and to others.

Who are you outside of being an athlete, employee, or boss. As a Mental Health Therapist and 14 years of experience in sports performance, and Sports Medicine, I have worked with thousands of athletes, aiding in their physical needs to get them back to full capacity and into competition. Through my experience, I have found that, whether on a court or in an office, individuals can only be their best if they focus on their overall health and wellness. The mental game is as important, if not more important than, the physical game in finding success. My approach to wellness and competition is holistic, working on areas of self.

I appreciate people who care and are engaged, but may need a little help. We are all intelligent, creative, funny and loving. Sometimes, all you need is help finding that path. I like people who are willing to be open and give it a try. This may look like an individual looking to face changes, or maybe a couple looking to learn how to communicate or find that lost spark. In other cases, this may involve business partners or family members learning how to trust one another. I like to work with people who are willing to do the work.

How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
