Therapists in Omaha, NE

Hello! I am so glad you reached out and are taking this brave step. I love working with people of all ages... Young children age 2 and older, elementary age kiddos, teenagers, and adults. I work well in the areas of trauma, attachment, foster care and adoption, behaviors, ADHD, depression, anxiety, bi-polar and many other areas of mental health.

Only accepting clients ages 19 and up. Do you ever feel like breaking down? Do you ever feel out of place? Like somehow you just don’t belong, and no one understands you? Thanks for the great intro pop punk band Simple Plan. But seriously, have you ever felt any of these things? I know I have. It is hard to have all these sucky feelings and have no one to turn to for support. Unfortunately, many people out there will say “Depressed? Isn’t that just a fancy word for feeling bummed out?”, which I am sure makes you want to scream. That is where I come in!

Anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions can be incredibly overwhelming and debilitating. The constant battle with negative thoughts, intense emotions, and physical symptoms can make it difficult to function daily. As a therapist, I understand the weight that these conditions can carry and the toll they take on one's well-being. That is why I am dedicated to providing a safe and compassionate space for my clients to come and share their feelings with me. I want my clients to know that they are not alone in their struggles and that I am here to support them every step of the way.

As a therapist I enjoy working with a variety of groups. I do individual, family and couples therapy, but particularly enjoy working with teens and young women. I enjoy empowering youth while they transition through their developmental tasks and into adulthood. I enjoy working with individuals interested in overcoming obstacles and developing their true potential. I utilize a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches to meet the needs of my clients. With unconditional support, we can examine ourselves and learn to move forward to meet our personal goals.

There are times in our lives that we can become stuck, not knowing how, where, or who to turn to. We may feel lost, alone, depressed, angry, traumatized, fragmented, hopeless, afraid - floundering & needing direction. Does this sound like your situation? I'll help you to untangle your emotional knots - so that you can rekindle your dreams toward living the life you truly deserve. I specialize in issues of empowerment with a focus on your humanity and relationships (less on diagnostic labels). Welcome!

Finding the right therapist is perhaps the most important part of the therapy process. You want someone you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings without judgment. You want to know that your therapist has your best interests in mind always, and sees things objectively. You want someone who has advanced training, experience, skill and offers sound encouragement. You want someone who would practice what is recommended and feels called to walk along side you during some of life's most difficult moments. If this is where you are beginning, consider starting here.

I believe you already bring a lot to the table, and I would be honored to walk through the process of getting you to where you want to be. My goal is to empower you to blossom into the most self-assured, peaceful version of yourself. My clients love that I am down to earth, a good listener, and easy to talk to. I pride myself in creating a safe space where there is no such thing as judgment. I provide services to adults through all life stages.

Taking time to listen and hear your struggles is the core of what I do. Learning new skills to help overcome these struggles is what you and I will do together. I strongly believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in therapy, therefore I will work with you at whatever pace necessary, so you feel safe and comfortable sharing your most vulnerable experiences. Processing and uncovering issues that connect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be challenging; you don't have to do it alone.

How often do we remain stuck in the same patterns that result in continued frustration, discouragement, and overwhelm? We may have tried over and over, to stick to a "better lifestyle plan" and yet continue to stay stuck. I see you. I recognize the difficulty in taking steps forward, while still experiencing the doubts and struggles, of living with a mental health condition. I believe we all have the power to heal ourselves. It doesn't matter what struggles we face, our mind and our body intuitively know what is best for us, in our healing journey. If given the chance, it is possible to evolve into that which we were created.

Over the next few months, I will complete my dissertation as the last requirement for my doctoral degree in psychology. I work with individuals with a large assortment of concerns, from personality disorders, depression, trauma, body image, LGBTQ issues, men's issues, LGBTQ, relationships, assertive communication, self-esteem, self-compassion, and health and wellness. In addition, I have an array of experience conducting psychological evaluation and is my ongoing passion.

My goal is to provide personalized mental health and substance abuse counseling to help individuals achieve their personal goals in Iowa and Nebraska. I regard each individual in an ethical and professional manner.

I now only work online through Skype. I have worked with a variety of issues over my 30 years in my profession. I have been an Adjunct Instructor in the UN-O Graduate Counseling Department, Consultant to area psychiatric programs, Director of Outpatient programs, and a presenter to a wide range of businesses as well as my outpatient practice. I like the diversity of my practice in terms of diagnostic features rather than a particular specialty. My many years of practice have allowed me to work with such a wide range of circumstances and issues.
