Therapists in Omaha, NE

Sometimes life is hard. It seems like people are feeling the pressures of life more and more from every different area of their life. In therapy with me, we can talk through and process stressors. What you can expect from me is a caring, patient, sensitive, sometimes humorous, dedicated listener. We will work together to tailor your care and needs. Sometimes people just need to talk and be heard. Other times, people need tools, skills, tasks to practice improving their life that are realistic and manageable. As of Summer 2024, I have a few opening for telehealth only.

With more than a decade of clinical experience and engaging in therapy myself, I know the importance of being an empathic and understanding support for my clients. My therapy approach is trauma informed, strengths-based and tailored to each client’s individual needs. I work collaboratively with my clients to find the best course of healing.

I appreciate the courage it takes to seek therapy. If you are struggling with loss or life transitions, stuck in various forms of addiction or simply desire some objectivity then I would love to meet you. I find joy helping clients discover their truest potential, parts of themselves previously unseen. In the process my approach will be direct yet compassionate, I will speak in a language that's easy to understand and relatable.

Are you on a journey to discover your identity through self-exploration? Are you having a hard time adjusting to a new season of your life? Do you feel sad, anxious, or angry and have difficulty identifying why? Are you having difficulty navigating your relationships (e.g., friendships, intimate partnerships, or familial relationships)? You want to live a life where you are operating at your fullest potential. You want to remain who you genuinely are, even when faced with adversity. You want to work on identifying stressors and regulating your emotions.

Accepting Teletherapy Appointments Only. I work collaboratively with my clients, empowering them to find balance, wholeness, and greater happiness in life. My broad experience both in a variety of psychological treatment modalities (Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy), as well as in working with a wide range of clients, enables me to provide therapy that is both deeply compassionate and well-rooted in psychological science. I’m here to help you create stronger, more fulfilling relationships, make peace with yourself, and start living a life of fulfillment and connection.

We all need to be seen and understood, and it’s my goal to make therapy a space where that happens. I approach therapy from a place of getting that it's important to make sense of your experiences, know & feel that you are valid, & have a way to move forward feeling grounded in your authentic truth. I often work with people who have experienced trauma in relationships, a lack of emotional support in childhood, religious trauma, and marginalization. I can help with if you've been struggling to make changes you want in your life and relationships, have been overwhelmed by emotions, or don't ever know what you're even feeling.

I have four-plus years of experience working with survivors of interpersonal and sexual violence as well as dual-diagnosis disorders. My ideal client would be someone who has experienced trauma or attachment-related matters and is ready to unpack those issues to become healthier. “It’s not the load that breaks you down; it’s the way you carry it.” -Lena Horne I assist clients who have trauma-related issues and dual-diagnosis by using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), internal family systems (IFS), mindfulness, attachment-based therapy, and somatic therapy.

We are a multiethnic and multiracial group practice that centralizes care for BIPoC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Clients who come to us are working though life challenges related to their identities. They are often in a process of self-exploration, working to make sense of their place and identity in the world where they are made to feel like "the other" and have been marginalized, traumatized, and blatantly microaggressed. We recognize the importance of finding providers who get it, from a shared and lived experience. Here, our aim is connect communities of color and queer communities with providers of color and queer providers.

Often, those years of struggle are the most difficult, and we need someone to help guide us. Allow me to help you in your journey called life. My goal is that regardless of what is going on in your life, I can provide a safe space filled with hope, understanding, and trust where you can be comfortable in sharing your story. I have experienced working with a variety of people who face different struggles. Seeking therapy can be frightening; however, if you are ready to make a change, I am ready to meet you in the middle. When you are prepared to make the courageous decision to seek therapy

Life can be A LOT sometimes, causing us to feel anxious, depressed, lose our sense of self and affect our ability to have and maintain healthy relationships. We all need someone who's not in the middle of it with us, to talk through these feelings and concerns. I believe everyone deserves this type of experience and support. I believe things, and people, can change with the right support and tools!

I enjoy helping clients with attachment issues, complex trauma, and dissociative disorders. I also have experience working with clients struggling anxiety, depression, SPMI's and grief. I offer daytime, evening and weekend appointment times that can accommodate busy schedules. I strive to establish a therapeutic alliance with my clients based on emotional validation & trust. I hope to meet clients where they are by working with them collaboratively to identify the core issues underlying many daily problems. This collaborative work is critical to developing true clarity and is a first step towards healing.

As the parent of a child/teen that struggles with their wounded selves, you have tried everything. The exhaustive interventions that you have tried are going nowhere fast. Throwing in the towel is all that you have left. Your marriage is more daunting than it is invigorating and you keep hitting a wall with connecting to one another. Depression has you stuck in quicksand and the struggle is consuming you. Anxiety has its grip on you and it is controlling your life. You find yourself asking what more can you do? You feel all alone in your struggles and are having more moments of frustration than joy. Asking for help is hard.

We all bear marks and scars from life’s hardships and trials. Comparison of pain can frequently keep us from reaching out for help because “someone has it worse.” I am here to help you walk through whatever pain has brought you to where you currently are, grief, anxiety, depression, or transitions in life. Taking the step to seek counseling is incredibly brave; it is stepping out and saying you are more than what may seem insurmountable right now.

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.

Ultimately, the goal is progress, not perfection. I firmly believe (deep down) we all possess the necessary tools for growth and change. My intent is to cultivate a judgement-free zone for individuals to process and feel safe showing up as their most authentic selves. Anyone I connect with can trust in my guidance to give you that extra push towards ending painful patterns, gaining healthy insight into blind spots and working toward self-acceptance.

Have you spent years in therapy and feel like something vital is still missing? Are you eager to explore your true self more deeply? Maybe you're aware (to a fault) of patterns like shame and self-doubt but you are struggling to create lasting change. If you believe in living a more fulfilling life with greater presence and trust, but you're unsure how to achieve it, I could be a good fit for you.

It is my honor and pleasure to join with you on the journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation as we work together to find new ways to navigate the difficulties and experience a 'New Chance' at living the life you desire. I sincerely hope that the work we do together will support you in reaching your personal goals and empower you to live your best life. You can learn to manage your emotions, your relationships, increase stability, find solutions to life problems, and gain a sense of purpose/meaning. I am experienced with multiple approaches such as; CBT, EMDR, ACT, Person-centered, and recovery-oriented modalities.
