Psychosis Therapists in Omaha, NE

I have a unique style that blends multiple theories. I’m able to adapt to your needs and your style in a way that is most effective for your individuality. I am an honest, down-to-earth, funny, caring therapist. I keep it very real! I’ve been a mental health therapist for 12 years now and have been working with individuals, couples, and families for over 25 years. Does that make me sound old? Or experienced :)

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.Making mistakes, having things go wrong, and needing to heal is part of life and being human. So is forgiving ourselves and others and trying again. You can change direction and heal. Become free to take a new path knowing that you have a right to what you think and how you feel.

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 believe that while many of us feel unwell, we can improve our outlook and many areas of our lives with enough support and encouragement. Trauma, stress, abuse, and pain have caused us to become overwhelmed and unable to deal with life as it comes. Utilizing a holistic wellness model, I can assist you in creating a new life, with beautiful new dreams that can finally become reality. Together, we can pinpoint the parts of life that have never seemed to go well, and create real life solutions for them by addressing and resolving the pain of loss, grief, and oppression that have hurt us over time.

"Growth demands a temporary surrender of security." - Gail Sheehy This is one of the reasons why change and growth can be so tough! Real growth can be frightening and uncomfortable and it requires us to step well outside our comfort zone.

Please note that I am only available for day time appointments. "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them" -Maya Angelou, Letter to My Daughter. We all have weaknesses we can make into strengths. Life is about finding the things we can control and focusing on making changes in those areas. My goal is to guide my clients in the direction of what they have control of and help them make the positive changes in those areas.

Having the courage to seek therapy is never easy. One may feel hopeless, vulnerable, frustrated and unable to cope without outside help. While working in an inpatient psychiatric facility, it has allowed me to work extensively with anxiety, depression, bipolar, mood disorders, personality disorders, substance abuse, domestic violence, etc. I work with my clients to identify areas of their life that are causing suffering, collaboratively identifying effective ways to manage and reduce emotional pain. I utilize both warmth and validation with evidence-based behavioral change strategies.

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.

A lot of my clients have depression and anxiety. They tend to have a lot of negative self-talk and little self-love. They may have boundary issues and unhealthy coping skills when frustrated or angry.

My ideal client inherently knows that something in their world is amiss, and they are ready to go on a journey to discover, uncover and evaluate the source of that sore spot. They have a wide-ranging set of issues, needs, and goals. They want to walk with someone on the journey to a better self and improved self-efficacy. They search for a better tomorrow that they can fully participate in.

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.

People lose the will to face the day stop taking care of themselves. My typical clients range from teenagers to adults with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, anger management issues, ADHD, PTSD, codependency, poor stress management or coping and other various mental health conditions.
