Psychoanalytic Therapists in Omaha, NE
I work with individuals and couples who are tired of feeling stuck—whether that’s from trauma, infidelity, anxiety, depression, or just a deep sense of disconnection. On the outside, things might look “fine,” but inside, something feels off, heavy, or unfulfilled.
I’m not here to give surface-level fixes. I help you get to the root of what’s actually going on—what’s been buried, avoided, or never fully understood. In a space that’s honest and safe, we untangle those patterns so you can rebuild trust, reconnect in your relationships, and start living with more clarity and meaning.

Who’s life are you living anyway; the one you chose, or the one you were told to follow?
So many people, especially men, push through life on autopilot, meeting expectations, checking boxes, and wondering why they still aren’t happy or why it still doesn’t feel right. You might be doing your best, yet still feel stuck, disconnected, ignored, or overwhelmed. You’re tired of not being seen, heard, or validated. The truth is, real strength comes from pausing long enough to ask yourself the hard questions—and giving yourself permission to heal and grow in your own direction, without judgment.
"He who is brave is free." – Seneca

Starting therapy can feel both uncertain and hopeful. That is why finding a therapist with whom you can form a close bond is important. Psychodynamic psychotherapy utilizes the therapeutic relationship as the primary vehicle for change, emphasizing the lasting emotional impact of being seen and understood. Therapy can explore various dialectics, including self-acceptance and change. Psychodynamic psychotherapy focuses on unconscious motives and desires that shape your relationship with yourself and others, helping you better understand or change these patterns over time.

Howdy! I am committed to helping motivated couples build healthy and fulfilling relationships that create safety and trust. I am passionate in working with couples and individuals with relationship concerns because our relationships are a strong indication of our overall happiness. While counseling can help couples solve problems, it is also an opportunity to reconnect and find joy in their relationship again. In this process I strive to help couples foster resilience, deepen intimacy as well as use practical tools that strengthen the bond between them.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
