Therapists for Teens in Omaha, NE

Life can be difficult sometimes. We can get off track, have trouble coping with day to day stress, lose sight of our own goals and dreams, or just feel lost and overwhelmed. In my practice, I enjoy work with individuals, families, and couples struggling with issues ranging from depression, anxiety, trauma, women's issues, anger management, ADHD, relationship problems and communication problems. In therapy, the goal is to become engaged in a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship that can facilitate growth, change and healing.

Every person is unique and capable of realizing their potential in an optimal environment. However, life is filled with so many challenges and it is not unusual to feel discouraged or unable to meet those challenges. Building a relationship based on acceptance and trust with my clients is my priority. I listen carefully and help them develop an understanding of what has led them to unsatisfying thoughts, feelings and behaviors. We explore and identify how significant past experiences have shaped their present life.When working with teens, parents are essential part of the therapy and always welcome to collaborate.

Connection and relationships are what make humans unique and beautiful. Struggles within relationships can indicate areas of struggles within oneself. I provide counseling that is client focused, creating a safe space and the knowledge to guide you in your to healing journey. When we understand how our behaviors are directly connected not only to our thoughts, but also our feelings, we are better able to engage in healthy patterns, setting appropriate boundaries for thriving relationships.

Want to feel less stressed or worried? To live in confidence, not anxiety or fear? We can help. You don't have to feel edgy or burned out. Your life can be what you hope for, not worry about.

Become free to take a new path knowing that you have a right to what you think and how you feel. The past doesn't have to control the present or predict the future. We can't change what's happened. But we can start where we are and make a new beginning.

Is pain from the past inhibiting you from living the life you envisioned for yourself? Does it feel like you've been through so much that it's hard to even conceive of such an "envisioning?" Save that stuff for once you're out of survival mode, right? The fact is, trauma alone is not uncommon- it's part of being a human being. But for some of us, these traumas have been so severe that we can struggle to bounce back, feeling adrift and alone. Like journeying across the ocean when a storm cracks your mast, emotional trauma can leave us feeling lost, confused, and even desperate without a sail. How do we get back to dry land?

Do you find yourself struggling with relationships both at home and at work? Do you feel hopeless with a strong desire to move to the next chapter of your life, but unsure how?

There is hope, increased freedom and self-efficacy is possible.
