Therapists in Omaha, NE

Mental health has always carried stigma; most commonly people learn at an early age, "we don't talk about it." Differing events in life can cause symptoms of depression, anxiety, and many other mental health conditions. Whether you are struggling with an adjustment period or need help processing years of trauma, I can help you. My passion is within helping individuals and families reach their full potential and goals.

I particularly enjoy working with college students, young professionals, and adults in life transitions. I have over ten years of experience in the mental health field supporting adolescents, adults, and elder adults with managing anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, grief, death and dying, family conflict, and relationship issues. I have served individuals with developmental disabilities in the role of therapist and caregiver. Through my work as a hospice social worker, I have guided patients at the end of their lives, and their families, with finding physical and emotional comfort.

Everyone deserves to have their voice heard. In our everyday lives we may not always feel that others listen to what we have to say. This can increase feelings of anxiety and depression and eventually overwhelm us to a point where we don’t see any way out. I want you to know that I am here for you. What you have to say and what you think and feel is important. Not only will I listen to you, but I will guide you through the difficult struggles which come your way. You are not alone.

“There is no darkness without a light”. We all have experienced, at one time or another emotional darkness. Therapy is the way to walk you through the light. I am here to support you. Therapy with me is a collaborative effort. I provide a free judgement zone and you are entitled to every emotion. It is not easy seeking help and I’m proud of you starting your process in finding a provider. Together we will work to create a safe space where you can grow, heal, and reach the light. My goal is to assist individuals through life’s challenges.

If you’re hurting, I can help you feel better. I understand how painful it can be to feel alone with overwhelming emotions or problems.

Seeking a better state of mental health is a fundamentally hopeful endeavor. I firmly believe that every person has the internal capacity for change and I hope to help each person to turn that hope into progress.

Since 1990 I've helped couples create loving, lasting relationships. A premarital inventory (FOCCUS or PREPARE) pinpoints relationship strengths, and helps resolve conflicts. PREP communication and problem-solving skills help you find win-win solutions. PREP Couples have greater satisfaction and 1/2 the risk of divorce. If you feel like giving up, couple counseling identifies the real problems and how to resolve them. If kids are driving you crazy, "Love & Logic" keeps you calm & kind as kids develop respect, responsibility & self-esteem. Individual counseling helps overcome anger, depression, fears, stress; and develop assertiveness, self-esteem, social comfort, willpower.

Does it seem like your child or teen is speaking a different language at times? As parents, it can be difficult understanding his or her behavior and/or angst. Children from infancy through adolescence can seem unmanageable at times causing parents to feel overwhelmed and powerless. Why continue struggling? If your child is having a difficult time at home, in school, or with friends, I can empathetically provide kids with an engaging, effective way to process feelings, learn new skills, and improve behaviors through utilization of a wrap-a-round approach.

Sometimes people are in need of a space where they can speak freely and grow as an individual. I would be happy to stand beside you and your family to provide that space where we can explore and grow together.

In person OR video! With Meta Counseling, you say, "I can." This is a great first step when so much time has been spent saying "I can't."

If you are like many of us, you may not feel sure of who you are or what you want in life. You may be in an unhealthy relationship, struggling with parenting, weathering the stress of college, or feeling hopeless in depression or addiction.

Together, we’ll uncover who you truly are under social and familial expectations, heal past wounds, and create a lifestyle that keeps you squarely in your worth.

Life can bring unexpected changes and events that can take us off the path we expected. Anxiety, depression, stress, trouble regulating emotions, behavioral difficulties, and other symptoms can create challenges in getting through each day. I believe my role as a therapist is to support you in living your best life - whatever that may be. My goal is to provide a supportive and empowering environment for children, teens, parents and adults to address their mental health needs and enhance their overall well-being.

Every person is important. Every emotion you experience is real. The decision to seek therapeutic help is never an easy one and finding the right therapist is perhaps the most important part of the therapy process. We take a team approach to working with individuals to explore and to identify challenges that have hindered them from having the life they desire. We also seek to tailor to each individual according to his or her need. The purpose of the treatment is to provide our clients with knowledge, skills and tools that will assist you with returning to your daily life.

Are you struggling with food or your body? The people I work with typically struggle with symptoms like binge eating, overeating, irregular eating patterns, or poor body image. I help people find relief from eating disorders. Often, I hear people express how their eating patterns have impaired their relationships, mood, and daily activities. They may be experiencing mood or anxiety-related issues, in addition, to their food struggles. Most people I work with say that their work with me is their first time conceptualizing their concerns as a mental health issue and are seeking treatment for the first time.

You will also notice I am passionate about understanding your unique life story, including the personal struggles for which you are seeking professional care. I desire to relate to you as an equal, whole person rather than someone who "has all the answers." In sessions with me, you will know I care.

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.
