Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Omaha, NE

Have you been feeling down or worried? Have you noticed being too "stuck in your head" and have a desire to be more present in your daily life? Or perhaps you just don't feel very good about yourself and want to feel more confident. Everybody has times in their lives when things just aren't going the way they'd hoped, and they feel stuck and lost regarding how to get back on track. Some people experience more significant trauma, either as a child or an adult, that negatively impacts them in ways they didn't expect. There is an endless number of reasons why people become disconnected from themselves and decide to seek therapy.

I believe in the power of human connection to get us through life’s challenges. Reaching out for help in our most vulnerable moments can be difficult and overwhelming.

I will meet you where you are in your challenge, providing a safe and calming environment to explore avenues to find hope and healing. My work takes a holistic approach integrating the mind, body and spirit connection to help you create a strong foundation to meet those challenges.

Modern life is stressful. We often feel like we don't have enough time, enough money, enough energy, or enough confidence in ourselves. We spend too much time feeling anxious or depleted. There is an alternative to the constant, unrelenting treadmill and chaos. There is another way of being present in your life and available to those you love. I practice Mindfulness -Based Psychology and Mindful Self-Compassion. By learning these skills, you can begin to slow down, befriend yourself, and make choices that reflect and further your values and dreams, rather than those imposed on you.
