Therapists Beginning With D in Nebraska

Sometimes we arrive at a season in which we realize that our current ways of dealing with past trauma, connecting with people, or balancing life stressors just aren't working anymore. I am passionate about creating safe space within the counseling relationship to explore the circumstances that prompt us to reach out for help. It is my joy to help individuals tell their story, develop tools to use in coping with wounds and difficulties, learn self-accountability and gain momentum in pursuing strong mental/emotional health, and build toward the quality of life they desire.

I strive to help individuals, couples and families work through a variety of issues and facilitate the change they desire. I provide a safe and comfortable environment to explore current and past issues that are creating problems for you, while fostering personal insight and change. I have significant experience working with adolescents and adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief & loss, life-transitions; families experiencing blended family issues or parent/child conflict.

I work with couples and individuals who struggle with a multitude of issues. Whether you’re experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, symptoms of past/present trauma, problems with addiction, life transitions, communication breakdowns, disconnection from self and others, or simply can’t find the words to explain how you feel, I am here to help.

If you are anxious, depressed, trying to work through trauma or want someone to talk to, I am here for you.

As a therapist in the Omaha area I have worked with clients who have concerns varying from addiction to mental health or relationship hardship. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and in many different stages. My approach is person centered, meaning clients take the lead on what is right for them. As a therapist I work with my clients to identify what is in the way of those goals. Many times the weight of the world feel heavier and at times we may feel as if we cannot move forward. It is important to understand that there is a way to feel better and to feel better you have to find the recipe that works for you.

How often do we remain stuck in the same patterns that result in continued frustration, discouragement, and overwhelm? We may have tried over and over, to stick to a "better lifestyle plan" and yet continue to stay stuck. I see you. I recognize the difficulty in taking steps forward, while still experiencing the doubts and struggles, of living with a mental health condition. I believe we all have the power to heal ourselves. It doesn't matter what struggles we face, our mind and our body intuitively know what is best for us, in our healing journey. If given the chance, it is possible to evolve into that which we were created.

I believe each person is the expert in their own experience and view my role as a co-pilot on the path to healing and self-exploration. I work with adolescents and adults with varying experiences such as substance use, trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, identity exploration, and burnout. I believe co-creation of therapy goals is vital to forging a path uniquely tailored to meet the needs of each person with whom I work.

My counseling and psychotherapy practice has grown from the roots of a 34- year career in public education. My experiences include 24 years in the classroom as a Spanish teacher (K-12), and a decade working as a high school Counselor. I have counseled diverse populations and cultures, and have extensive knowledge and practice in working with students who receive special education services. I have worked with families in crisis due to death, deployment and adverse circumstances. In addition, I have personal insight into the unique demands of military families as the mother of both an active duty soldier and a combat veteran.
