Therapists in Omaha, NE

At Fireside Counseling, my goal is to empower you to live your best life. I have over 15 years of experience in counseling students, professionals, athletes, children, couples and families. My aim is to help you meet your goals in a relaxed and comfortable setting.

Therapy really thrives when a client is ready to change either themselves or the situations that they find themselves in. Whether you are struggling with life-changing topics like divorce, a death in the family, or persistent depression or just need someone to lend a supportive ear, I strive to empower clients to make those enriching changes to their lives. Depending on what kind of client you are we will collaborate and plan an approach that instills the change you want to see in your life.

There are times in our lives that we can become stuck, not knowing how, where, or who to turn to. We may feel lost, alone, depressed, angry, traumatized, fragmented, hopeless, afraid - floundering & needing direction. Does this sound like your situation? I'll help you to untangle your emotional knots - so that you can rekindle your dreams toward living the life you truly deserve. I specialize in issues of empowerment with a focus on your humanity and relationships (less on diagnostic labels). Welcome!

I honor an individual’s whole experience by using therapeutic approaches that acknowledge the impact that environment and biology have on mental health, educating clients in strategies to grow with change.

Have you been putting off your emotional health? Waiting for life to settle down so that you can devote more time to your own needs? Whether you are struggling with short term adjustments to unexpected changes in your life, or have had to manage long-term mental health challenges, I am here to help. I believe therapy is a two-way street, with you educating me and me assisting you to make the changes you want to make. I work for you, and strive to give you strategies to improve your life. Above all, I am here to listen.

We all struggle in life and do not always know the healthiest way to address these struggles. I can help you develop healthy coping skills and assist you in getting where you would like to be. Everyone deserves a chance to be happy. It can be difficult to take the first step and reach out to ask for help. I enjoy helping individuals find new and effective ways to maintain a wholesome and blessed lifestyle.

As a South-Asian immigrant and a New Yorker that grew up in the 80s, I’ve lived through lots of changes and challenges, but I’ve also learned how resilient humans can be. I help adults and kids face life challenges like anxiety, depression, and numerous mental health challenges. I’ve worked extensively with individuals who have endured severe trauma of all kinds. While most of my experience has been with children, I have a particular passion for working with adults on parenting struggles, men's issues, couples issues, and individuals going through a recent divorce/separation.

My goal is to provide personalized mental health and substance abuse counseling to help individuals achieve their personal goals in Iowa and Nebraska. I regard each individual in an ethical and professional manner.

“The truest story – the one that will always be truest – is that I am a human being, being human. Sometimes, I am my best self. Sometimes, not so much. But goshdarn, I am trying to do better. I am always trying to do better. My guess is that you are, too.” – Laura McKowen. Life is a mixed bag of wonderful and weird. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort between client and clinician that consists of making sense of past experiences and being able to “re-story” our lives. You are the expert in your own life, and I am honored to be on this journey with you.

I see clients for individual therapy and psychological evaluations. My approach is individualized and based on my clients' needs, personal background, and goals. My therapy approach utilizes cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, & existential modalities, adapted specifically for my clients. I also incorporate positive psychology elements by being person-centered, non-judgmental, & utilizing strengths in developing goals & a plan for treatment. My clients can expect to gain insight into the nature of their difficulties, with an individualized plan for progress and improved functioning.

I enjoy providing evidenced based interventions to individuals, couples and families who may be struggling with mental health and substance use concerns. I appreciate the opportunity to offer effective therapeutic interventions to promote healing, facilitate personal change and improve lifestyle experiences. I respect the collaboration of the recovery journey and hope to develop a professional partnership with you.

Does your child struggle to pay attention? Or struggle with depression, anxiety, and isolation? Do you ever ask yourself, "Where to begin?".

Knowing how to heal and strengthen your Marriage/Relationship can be difficult whether you've been together for 1 year or 30+ years. I believe we all want to feel understood, heard, seen and well loved by our partners. Not knowing how to voice your needs or how to manage conflicts can cause hurt and a disconnect between partners which can lead to feeling a lack of emotional and sexual intimacy. Feeling disconnected and lonely in your marriage/relationship is draining and exhausting.

We all have a unique story. One that has highs and lows, things that bring us joy, and things that have caused challenges, grief, and heartache. A desire for a life of abundance is written on our hearts. But sometimes our stories include hurdles and barriers that get in the way and keep us from the peace we long for. We often try numerous remedies or try to overcome these barriers on our own. But we aren’t meant to walk that road alone. It is my job as a therapist to create a space of safety, trust, and respect, so that you can explore, unpack, and make meaning of your experiences, and create the change that you want for your life.

I believe you already bring a lot to the table, and I would be honored to walk through the process of getting you to where you want to be. My goal is to empower you to blossom into the most self-assured, peaceful version of yourself. My clients love that I am down to earth, a good listener, and easy to talk to. I pride myself in creating a safe space where there is no such thing as judgment. I provide services to adults through all life stages.

I believe that all people possess innate wisdom and capacity for growth. Overwhelming experiences that are unprocessed can leave us feeling stuck and confused about how to move forward. Our work will help you learn how to turn toward what hurts with curiosity and kindness in order to heal. We will work together to identify and practice communication and self-regulation skills needed to develop healthy relationships with self and others.

I am currently taking new clients with a focus on recovery from spiritual abuse and trauma. Do you feel lost in the shadows of spiritual or religious trauma? Are anxiety or mood swings holding you back? Life's stressors can be overwhelming, but you don't have to walk this path alone. As an independent mental health practitioner in Nebraska, I understand the unique challenges faced by individuals navigating the complexities of faith, mental health, and life's everyday hurdles. I offer a warm, supportive space where we can explore your experiences and cultivate tools for healing and growth.

The work that goes into having a healthy relationship with your mental health often takes a back seat to much of life’s other stressors. The reality is our mental health and the relationship that we maintain with ourselves is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Therapy can provide a platform to explore what is and is not working in your life and provide a powerful opportunity to enhance your life, relationships, and well being. I look forward to helping you discover your personal strengths and taking control of your life with a direct approach and a touch of humor.
