LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Omaha, NE

Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile! I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important component of therapy. I offer a place where you are accepted for who you are. I have been told in the past that therapy with me feels like talking to your favorite aunt. What a nice compliment! I am blessed to work with a diversity of clients from all walks of life. I can help you feel empowered, confident and find healing. After the first session, many clients tell me they wish they had started sooner. Ready to take the next step?

Taking the first step and admitting we need help is the most difficult step, which is why I am so glad you have decided that counseling may be right for you. One belief I hold near and dear is that everyone deserves a space that is solely for them; I hope I can help provide that space for you. Ultimately you are the expert on your life and your lived experiences, and I hope to be able to walk with you and help you to have a sounding board as you go on this journey.

In person OR video! With Meta Counseling, you say, "I can." This is a great first step when so much time has been spent saying "I can't." Take your life back, rediscover yourself, and promote change from within. I have an interactive, solution-focused approach. My goal is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate complementary therapies, offering a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. I work with compassion and understanding to help individuals to build on their strengths and attain significant personal growth.

That's it! You've had enough!! Life has dealt you something unlivable and you need help. You can't imagine it being easier, different. For a second, try and imagine someone offering support, guidance, and validation to help you process and overcome those difficult moments. Together we can help ease the tension, reduce the stress, change the helplessness, and move toward a more livable existence. With specialty training I help clients achieve this through various therapy tools, like EMDR, talk therapy, music, Play Therapy and expressive art therapy.

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Life (relationships, family, work, school, illness, and more) can knock us down causing us to feel a variety of emotions: discouraged, depressed, anxious, disappointed, confused, hopeless, not heard and many more. Whatever struggle or conflict you are facing, you are not alone. Life has many stages and transitions, which is normal, but if you're here, you probably don't feel so "normal". Therapy may feel scary, but most of my clients say it has liberating and life changing. I create a space where nothing is off limits, there are no judgements and every emotion is valid.

All humans have strengths and develop strategies for coping with life's unique challenges and stressors. Sometimes the strategies we come up with are helpful and sometimes they do more to interfere with life than help. If you believe you or your child are experiencing difficulties coping with or adjusting to life's stressors that are interfering with school or work, peer and family relationships, or overall quality of life, then therapy may be a helpful next step.
