Sometimes the hardest thing to explain is a life that looks fine from the outside but feels hollow on the inside. You're functioning — maybe even thriving by other people's standards — and yet something feels persistently off. A sense of emptiness you can't quite name. Relationships that feel just slightly out of reach. A quiet wondering about whether this is all there is. I work with adults who are living that contradiction. People who are capable and self-aware, but who have come to recognize that insight alone isn't enough to change the deeper patterns that keep them stuck. My approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing on psychodynamic and object relations frameworks. I'm interested in what's underneath — the early relational experiences, the defenses that once made sense but have outlived their usefulness, the parts of yourself you've learned to keep quiet. Therapy with me tends to be thoughtful and exploratory, with room for the kind of conversation that's hard to have with people who aren't interested in the deeper meaning of things. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Nebraska and Iowa, with a post-graduate certification in Object Relations theory and practice. My office is located in Omaha, Nebraska, and I offer telehealth to residents of Nebraska and Iowa. I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield plans — please feel free to reach out to verify whether I am in network for your specific plan. If you've been wondering whether therapy could help you feel more like yourself — or help you figure out who that even is — I'd be glad to connect.
