I am a licensed independent mental health therapist (LIMHP) based in Omaha, Nebraska, providing therapy services to teens and adults across the state. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, severe and persistent mental illness, personality disorders, and more.
My approach is tailored to the unique needs of each client, but I often incorporate Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy to help individuals cultivate awareness and develop healthier thought patterns for navigating life's challenges. I also utilize Reality Therapy, which emphasizes present-focused problem-solving and encourages clients to take ownership of their behaviors and relationships.
I've found that my style is successful with teens and adults of all ages. I've worked with individuals across the life span, as young as 5 on up to 78 years old with emphasis on the areas of anxiety, depression, SPMI, personality disorders, and relationship stress to name a few.
My communication style is very casual. I want to ensure that each person feels safe and comfortable in each session. My style allows my clients to feel comfortable talking to me about anything.
Goal setting will be a collaborative effort between me and the client. When clients are included in and or have input in their care, the likelihood of active participation and engagement increases. Each client is then more consistent in applying skills and or session discussion between sessions as needed.
What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently, and me asking questions to better understand some of why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there. Each individual is different, and I like to listen first before assuming I know what will work best for you moving forward.
