Family Therapy in Omaha, NE
I have experience in providing clinical support and intervention to individuals and families since 1997, focusing on the companioning model.
Loss affects each of us in unique ways. Each of us encounters loss on a regular basis. How we each experience each loss is unique and viewed through our individualized lens based on our life experiences. I meet people where they are in their grief journey and provide a safe space to tell their story and be heard. Grief has no timeframe. Whether the loss was recent or long ago where there is pain there can be healing. My goal is to help people find meaningful ways to process the losses they have experienced. I also aim to help caregivers both lay and professional find ways to nurture themselves and find hope and renewal.

Have you ever thought about seeing a counselor but never followed through due to fears of change or judgement? The change process can be scary and intimidating. As a therapist I work hard to meet everyone at their level of change and guide them to a place they strive to be at, free of judgement, in an encouraging and supportive way. We all deserve a safe place to have to be validated and heard when life may become overwhelming and full of stress.

Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable or uncertain, especially during times of stress or change. Many people come in feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure where to begin. My goal is to offer a calm, supportive space where you feel understood and not judged, and where things can slow down enough to make sense of what you are feeling. Therapy can be a place to take a breath, feel steadier, and begin moving forward at a pace that feels right for you.

Transform and rebuild your partnership. Couples counseling can help you move from conflict to understanding and recover the connection you’ve been missing. Right now, it feels like every word is a landmine. It’s hard to remember when everything started to feel so fragile. Every conversation is a delicate negotiation, your words thoughtfully chosen and your tone carefully composed. You try so hard to get it right – to avoid the missteps and sharp edges that will lead to another argument – but somehow, it happens anyway. The cycle feels impossible to break. The defensiveness has become a pattern.

When your primary relationship is difficult, it impacts every aspect of your life. You can't focus as well at work, you become short and snappy with your children and/or others, you can't sleep, you stop eating or eat too much. It can feel so threatening when someone you care about doesn't seem to care about you, or when you wonder if you even care about them anymore. All of these feelings are normal in relationships but they don't have to last forever. If you allow them to push you to growth, you can have the relationship you've always craved.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
