Therapists in Omaha, NE

There are challenges in everyone’s life that can seem daunting. At such times, we need and deserve an understanding, compassionate, knowledgeable guide to assist us in identifying the thoughts and feelings associated with our current difficulties. Factors like background, ethnicity, race, and family dynamics are significant contributing elements that can be essential to clarifying and understanding the client’s situation. The goal for each client is to develop an achievable course of action that leads to effectively managing and reducing their distress.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, I'll meet you FREE online for our First Interview!

Men and women today are faced with multiple stressors under certain conditions that can lead to: depression, anxiety, grief, loss and trauma. These conditions can interfere with your ability to enjoy life. They also can have effects on your family, friends and jobs. My goal as a therapist is to help you identify the problems and learn added strategies, insights and solutions to deal with them more effectively so that you can experience more satisfaction and joy in living.

I have more than 30 years of professional practice helping people with all kinds of problems and issues. I enjoy knowing I can make a positive difference in a persons life. This is the reason I have dedicated my life to helping others. I've worked with people from all walks of life. If you've had therapy before and felt discouraged, I encourage you to give me a try. I have a unique personality and a way of communicating with my patients.

I provide a safe, neutral, and active role to help you identify issues and work through them in a supportive way. I like to employ a varied approach depending on client need and I tailor treatment to fit your personality and strengths. I believe that through difficult times big personal growth can occur, and that our difficulties can be taken as a call for change.

At some point in your life you may find yourself feeling unproductive, unsatisfied, stressed out, or even stuck in pattern's of self-destructive feelings and behaviors.

But we can start where we are and make a new beginning.

I work best with adolescent and adult clients who appreciate a direct, to-the-point approach. I give lots of feedback and make my thoughts known. This approach tends to open up awarenesses that may have been unknown for a very long time. It is exciting to see this process unfold in individual psychotherapy.

My training has been quite diverse thus I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and needs. My ideal client is an individual who understands the need to seek help or guidance and is willing to work with me on these concerns. I have over 18 years of clinical experience and enjoy working with "systems" (e.g., schools, families, support systems). I prioritize consultation with schools when addressing school-based behaviors such as underachievement, learning disabilities, and bullying concerns. I take a "strength-based" approach, always attempting to work within the clients talents and building from that point forward.
