Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists in Omaha, NE

Do you need help with your child's behaviors or want to get in touch with your authentic self? I have over 20 years of experience helping children, teenagers, women and men who struggle with anxiety, depression, anger management, trauma, self-esteem and behavior management. Prior to therapy, I have worked as a House Parent in a group home for youth and as a residential rehabilitation specialist with adults struggling with mental health. I have taught classes for anger management and facilitated groups for children exposed to domestic violence. Whether you have a specific goal or want to feel emotionally healthy, therapy can help!

I am a Provisionally Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (PLMHP) Nebraska, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) Nebraska, and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) Virginia. As a mental health and substance abuse counselor, I am committed to helping individuals learn how to change their attitudes and beliefs, while learning strategies to address the root cause of their difficulties. I am passionate about creating resources for individuals who are struggling and hold them accountable for the change they desire.

Let's get honest, - if you are struggling with anxiety, depression, pornography, and intimacy issues, it is affecting your life. Counseling can be the answer. Struggles in relationships don’t occur during one spat or because of one negative event. Healing happens over a ​period of time as well, but don’t believe that old myth that says, “Time heals all wounds.” I have worked with many people who have discovered the source of their issues and found the right solutions.

I believe in connection and empowerment, and that everyone can change. Your life can be restored from substance use issues and mental health. Contact me and let us get started.

My ideal client wants (and possibly needs) help! Much like all of us. We all have something to work on (even this guy!).

I work with clients struggling with a variety of issues, including Anxiety/Panic, ADHD, Depression, Grief, Life Transitions, Separation/Divorce, Chronic Pain, Mood Disturbance, Self-Care, and many more.

Accepting New Clients Now...........Everyone experiences grief and loss, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. Sometimes we feel as though these experiences are ours alone. I am here to remind you that these universal experiences can be as natural and welcomed as taking a deep breath.
