Hi, I’m Megan. I’m a licensed mental health therapist with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, including the past decade providing therapy to adults who are ready for meaningful change. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling.
I help high‐achieving teens and women feel lighter—less guilt, less overthinking, better sleep, and more ease in relationships. Together, we’ll build boundaries, confidence, and a calmer mind so you can actually enjoy your life instead of worrying your way through it.
I have spent most of my professional career working with women, LGBTQ+ folx, and sex workers who have experienced various forms of abuse throughout their lives. I help people navigate difficult patterns in relationships, coping skills, wellness goals, boundary setting, and exploring what you want to be different in your life.
I’m a licensed professional counselor with more than 30 years of experience working with adults and individuals facing complex mental-health and behavioral challenges. My background includes community mental health, schools, correctional mental health, substance-use treatment, and work with veterans and underserved populations.
My counseling style is straightforward, conversational, practical, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy works best when we can have an honest conversation about what is happening in your life and then work together on realistic changes that fit your situation.
I have a particular interest in gambling addiction and behavioral addictions, including helping people understand the patterns behind compulsive behaviors and develop strategies for managing urges, triggers, thoughts, and relapse risk. I also work with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and other behavioral and mental-health issues.
I draw from CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and relapse-prevention strategies, adapting the approach to the individual rather than relying on one method for everyone.
You don't need to know exactly what you need from therapy before starting. We can begin by identifying what's going on, what you would like to change, and what practical steps can help you move forward.
My goal is to provide a safe, respectful environment where you can be yourself, talk openly, and make meaningful progress.
I am a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over two decades of experience across a wide range of therapeutic settings, including family, adolescent, individual, group, adult, outpatient, residential, and day programs. I help clients enhance their quality of life by using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Many of the clients I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or weighed down by experiences they’ve carried for far too long. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship patterns rooted in early attachment wounds, or the lingering impact of trauma. Others are navigating life transitions, loss, or changes in identity that leave them uncertain about their next steps. At the core, most are seeking relief, clarity, and a stronger sense of themselves. They want to feel more regulated, more confident, and more capable of moving through daily life without being held back by old patterns or emotional pain.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Omaha
Searching for therapists in Omaha starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support for. People often look for therapy in Omaha for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that connect to your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. Reading each therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their style, what they focus on, and what a first session may include.
Omaha has a steady mental health care network, with therapists across areas like Dundee, Benson, Aksarben, and Old Market. Your best fit may depend on more than location. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near home or work, or virtual appointments that fit more easily into your schedule. It also helps to review appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book. These details can make it easier to narrow your options with confidence.
Therapy in Omaha can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for Omaha therapists who accept insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
