Therapists in Omaha, NE

I specialize in First Responders. I personally have 20 years experience as a EMT/Firefighter mostly volunteer, 15 years experience as with Emergency Management agency volunteer, and 30 years experience as a law enforcement officer working with a county department and a city department. I have worked with teenagers. I work with adults mostly. Emotional problems go undetected until they become a major problem. I work with preventive, crisis, and post crisis. I believe in Positive Psychology, CBT, Mindfulness, Solution Focused. I am a registered state provider for drug and alcohol treatment and assessments.

I see clients for individual therapy and psychological evaluations. My approach is individualized and based on my clients' needs, personal background, and goals. My therapy approach utilizes cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, & existential modalities, adapted specifically for my clients. I also incorporate positive psychology elements by being person-centered, non-judgmental, & utilizing strengths in developing goals & a plan for treatment. My clients can expect to gain insight into the nature of their difficulties, with an individualized plan for progress and improved functioning.

I provide services to individuals with an open heart and open mind. I base our work on where you are mentally and emotionally. Together we examine past traumas and current stressors to begin to understand why sometimes we get to a place we never thought we would be. With an emphasis on positive psychology and learning to identify and grow strengths, we begin the healing process. Because an essential aspect of therapy is rapport with your therapist, I spend time growing trust a deeper understanding with each client. I will challenge you but also provide support, encouragement, and empathy when needed.

In therapy I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

Whether you have a specific life goal or hurdle you are working on or if you are struggling with things like depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, addiction, relationship issues, or career-related struggles, my first goal is to provide you a safe, non-judgmental place to be listened to and understood.

Life is a journey. How often have you heard that? As we find our road through life, we all need inspiration and guidance. Having an outside perspective to navigate that journey can help us view our path through a different lens. It is my goal as your therapist to create a safe, supportive, and accepting environment for you to share your story. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for therapy. Whether it's learning coping skills, practicing mindfulness, or just having someone to talk to, I get it. Life isn't easy and you don't have to tackle this journey alone.
