Couples Counseling Therapists in Omaha, NE

It is my honor and privilege to bear witness to the stories of others through therapy. After working with hundreds of clients over the last decade who have faced anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and medical complications, it is my belief that the human experience is complicated and filled with both triumph and tragedy as we each make our own journeys. My goal as a therapist is to help you live your life to the fullest with intention and meaning, while also helping you to show up as the best version of yourself.

As the parent of a child/teen that struggles with their wounded selves, you have tried everything. The exhaustive interventions that you have tried are going nowhere fast. Throwing in the towel is all that you have left. Your marriage is more daunting than it is invigorating and you keep hitting a wall with connecting to one another. Depression has you stuck in quicksand and the struggle is consuming you. Anxiety has its grip on you and it is controlling your life. You find yourself asking what more can you do? You feel all alone in your struggles and are having more moments of frustration than joy. Asking for help is hard.

Accepting New Clients Now...........When we experience sexual, pregnancy and birthing trauma it often impacts us for a lifetime. As women, we are given the unique experience of multiplying that which is given to us, and welcoming each new generation. But what happens when things do not go as planned? As you traverse the aftermath of what happened to you, it is often hard to connect to yourself spiritually, mentally and physically. Trauma processing feels impossible; AND you have the capacity to heal already inside of you. Let's work together to redefine the relationship with yourself and the world around you.

Whether you realize it or not, just by being here and considering a therapist you have already begun a journey of change. Whether you have a specific life goal or hurdle you are working on or if you are struggling with things like depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, addiction, relationship issues, or career-related struggles, my first goal is to provide you a safe, non-judgmental place to be listened to and understood.

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.

“Live life to the fullest.” “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” “When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.” These are great, but life is more complex than cliché quotes. As your counselor, it is my pleasure to partner with you to find real joy in life again. True freedom does take work and can feel terrible as you work through the pain, but is it worth it? 100%! You are worthy of happiness, freedom, and wholeness, even if you don’t currently feel it.
