I’ve learned a ton from four years in community mental health - I’m not going to judge anything you bring to session! This gave me a foundation in crisis intervention, anger management, identity shifts, relationships, trauma, and substance use disorders.

I’m a fan of motivational interviewing, and I’ll affirm your thoughts and feelings often. I also give space to challenge thought patterns or behaviors that aren’t in line with your values. I love finding out what makes you feel like you and supporting all that that includes!

I help adults heal from trauma, grief, and overwhelming life experiences that may still be affecting how you feel day to day. You may be dealing with panic attacks, sleepless nights, nonstop worry, irritability, dissociation, explosive emotions, or the sense that what happened to you is still showing up in your work, relationships, and everyday life. I also work with clients healing from childhood abuse or neglect, grief, car accidents, and other painful experiences that can leave you feeling stuck in survival mode. My goal is to help reduce suffering and support you in finding a healthier, more peaceful path forward.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I believe mental health care works best when people feel truly known, respected, and safe. My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric care and medication management with compassionate, whole-person support. I work with children, teens, and adults, and I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being honest without fear of judgment.

For clients who desire it, I also offer Catholic-integrated care that honors the role faith can play in healing, identity, relationships, suffering, purpose, and hope. My goal is never to pressure or preach, but to thoughtfully integrate Catholic values, spirituality, prayer, or faith-based perspectives into treatment in a clinically appropriate and supportive way. I especially enjoy helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, postpartum mental health, motherhood transitions, trauma, relationship stress, life changes, and struggles related to self-worth or burnout.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I provide medication management while also taking time to understand the deeper emotional, relational, lifestyle, and spiritual factors affecting mental health. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I am warm, approachable, thorough, and collaborative rather than rushed or impersonal.

Whether you are looking for practical symptom relief, deeper healing, or a provider who understands and respects your faith, my hope is that you feel supported, heard, and encouraged throughout the process.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Omaha

Finding addiction therapists in Omaha starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use concerns, cravings, relapse prevention, and behavioral patterns that affect daily life. As you compare therapists, look for training in approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-based care when a prescriber is part of your care team.

Omaha has a mix of local therapy offices and virtual appointment options, which can help you find a therapist whose schedule and approach fit your life. For addiction care, it helps to look for someone who uses a clear, respectful approach and has experience supporting people through change over time. Review therapist bios for details on substance use specialties, session structure, appointment availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before you book.

Therapy in Omaha can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists who are accepting new patients, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before your first session. You can compare therapist bios, choose between in-person and virtual care, and book directly when you find a match.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
