Therapists in Omaha, NE

The decision to seek therapeutic help is never an easy one. It often comes at a time when most people feel hopeless, vulnerable, frustrated and unable to cope without outside help or resources. Recognizing this, I strive to provide my clients with the utmost respect and compassion, in a confidential and safe environment. I work together with my clients, in an authentic, collaborative way, to bring about positive changes that make sense in their life, according to their personal values. My specialty is Relationships & Sex Therapy, identifying & working w/ intimacy issues and infidelity. I am a AASECT Certified Sex Therapist.

Does something need to change in your life, or are you making promises that seem harder and harder to keep? Feel like a cartoon character walking around with a storm cloud following you? Perhaps something happened to you that you didn't deserve, or you experienced something painful that feels fresh? Mental Health can be a mysterious stranger who lingers in your life unexamined or unquestioned, and it can impact every aspect of self and the different contexts you exist within (work-setting, family/kids, and other significant relationships). Most importantly it can distort what you see in the mirror everyday.

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.

What does it mean to "take care of your mental health?" It's easier to tell when you aren't taking care of it: chronic stress, exhaustion, worry, and panic are all signs your mental health is suffering. If untreated, you could start having nightmares, poor health, trouble in your relationships, and difficulty staying on top of work or school. There are many things that can lead to mental health struggles, like a too-busy schedule, a chronic illness or someone else's troubles, a major life transition, or a death of someone close to you. Or, it could seem to come out of the blue, caused by nothing at all.
