Adults navigating anxiety, sleep problems, and the weight that women carry through life often spend years managing rather than actually feeling better. I am an LCSW and LIMHP with 25+ years in Nebraska and Iowa, offering inperson sessions in Omaha and telehealth statewide. I also work with athletes on the mental side of performance.
My work draws primarily on cognitive behavioral therapy, including CBT-I, a specialized behavioral treatment for insomnia that is more effective than medication for long-term sleep problems. For most people, anxiety and poor sleep reinforce each other, so we address both together. I also use solutionfocused and strength-based approaches to build practical skills between sessions. For athletes, I focus on the mental blocks that appear when skills are solid but execution falters under pressure. Throughout, I am direct and honest, and I do not shy away from occasional humor when it fits.
Our first session is a conversation, not a checklist. I will ask what is actually going on, we will talk through your goals, and I will give you my honest read on whether and how I can help. Most people leave feeling heard and a little clearer than when they walked in. Sessions are practical and geared toward change you can feel.
