"My clients find it empowering to not just talk about a problem but also to create ways of coping through learning new skills and allowing new perspectives. I help clients who want to be truly authentic. Sexuality and the pursuit of our sexual health is important as we strive to integrate our expression into our relationships. I help individuals incorporate their true selves into their relationships. My specialties are sexual problems, issues of sexual identity/orientation, consensual non-monogamy, out of control sexual behavior more commonly known as sex or porn addiction."

"I provide individual, couples' and family counseling, and help others live up to their potential by discovering a sense of purpose and wellness wherever they are in life."

I want to help your child grow to meet their true potential. I will work with you and your child to help alleviate stress and work through the challenges you are facing."

"If you have ever dealt with anxiety, panic attacks, or fears of letting others down you have been fighting a battle that you don't need to continue to fight. We help individuals control their anxiety by teaching them techniques and tools that will allow them to regain control over their emotions. These are the same skills that professional athletes all over the world use to deal with the anxiety and the enormous amounts of pressure they deal with on a daily basis. "

"I am so happy you are seeking help for whatever struggles you're facing right now. That's a big first step! Are you tired of fighting behaviors that are painful, draining, or self-limiting? If you'd like, instead, to "wake up" and live a life of vitality, meaning, richness and hope - right now, no matter what your mind is telling you, no matter how painful your emotions, memories, or past choices - then I would love to help. I use three Mindfulness-based therapies: ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy)."

"We are offering MO and KS residents online and phone sessions during the covid-19 pandemic. Our practice focuses on sexual addiction - for the addict, the partner and the couple. If you struggle with sex addiction (including pornography) you need someone who understands this addiction and has a plan for your recovery. We do. If you are the partner of a sex addict, it's important to take care of yourself and seek counsel from a compassionate therapist who understands your position. Men and women have regained and even improved relationships through their work with us. "

"Sometimes we experience things that are so life changing that we us lose sight of our hopes and dreams. We can be fooled into believing that we will never be okay again. We do not have to be defined by what has happened to us. I believe that no matter what they have been through people have the potential to create for themselves a happy, rich and full life worth living. It is not easy to overcome bad things but it is possible. If you are tired of being limited and ready to make real changes therapy can help you create the life you wish to have. "

"Everyone experiences stress in their lives. Sometimes this is temporary and manageable, sometimes overwhelming. When things seem too difficult to handle alone, counseling can help. When I work with people, I see them as partners in their care. Old habits of thinking and reacting to situations in life can seem difficult to overcome. Together we discover what seems to be the source of the problems, explore what has worked and not worked so far, and find new ways of dealing with what is causing emotional pain. I sometimes suggest ways to practice new responses or behaviors between meetings."

"At gokc Healing Center, we specialize in helping you remove barriers to live the life you want to live.

"A therapeutic relationship is the place from which personal growth and transformation takes root. My approach to this relationship is to create a safe and validating environment so that we might best explore your needs. Sometimes this process can be challenging, but my goal is to collaborate with you to achieve the understanding, growth, or change you desire. I want to join you in your pursuit of a more satisfying life by providing clinical expertise and insight. I will respect that this is your journey and will accompany you on it, perhaps providing a different vantage point along the way."

"I will work with you to eliminate shame and blame in order to shift to compassionate understanding to promote change and growth in the richness of the new relationship with yourself & others. It is so easy in this busy life to simply lose touch with your truth. A primary focus of our work together will be to expand your consciousness and understanding of dysfunctional beliefs in order to facilitate choice and change in regards to how you communicate and operate in your world. As you become more psychologically mature, you will then be able to live an authentic life which will foster true happiness."

"I value your trust in me and will endeavor to help you feel at ease as we begin our work. I will encourage you to identify and honor your strengths, and use them to reach your goals. Some reasons people see me for therapy/counseling include: struggles with anxiety, panic attacks, low self-esteem, a history of emotional trauma, sadness, depression, obsessive thoughts, grief and loss, addiction and relationship issues. Many also see me for help with setting and meeting life goals and/or making big decisions. I now offer teletherapy sessions to keep you safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. "

"I am passionate about engaging individuals and couples as they navigate through life’s challenges. My work as a therapist is deeply grounded in offering a counseling experience that allows individuals to feel empowered, safe, and comfortable. I have a particular interest in helping couples navigate relational issues and individuals struggling to overcome depression, infidelity, anxiety, motherhood, and other emotional concerns. In my practice, I utilize an Emotion Focused Therapy model in which focuses directly on the emotions and reconnection; strengthen boundaries, and build an emotional and compassionate connection. "

"The focus of my work is helping men and women who are struggling with compulsive sexual and relationship behaviors (also known as sex, porn or love addiction) that have had negative impacts on a person's relationships, overall emotional well being, health, family, career and other aspects of life. Struggles with sexuality can involve a great deal of pain, guilt and shame. If this is your experience, finding a professional who can provide a safe and non-judgemental space is crucial. In addition, I work with individuals who experience difficulties creating and maintaining intimate connections in relationships."

"Are you tired of being fat? I am an ex-stewardess who earned her doctorate in clinical psychology. Plod forward 35 years, and I am an emerging leader in humorous health advice, specializing in making weight loss fun. Of course it is not always fun to count calories or to squeeze into exercise clothes. But, it is fun to overcome your personal demons. And it is not only fun, but also rewarding, to work alongside someone who is trained to support you on your journey."

"Therapy, as I have practiced it for over 20 years, involves helping a client develop a new clarity about their life and its context. Some aspects of their life to explore are: their thoughts, feelings, values, concerns about others, and their concerns about themselves. Once a new clarity about their life is achieved, new solutions to their dilemmas will evolve. I certainly believe that clients are individuals, but I also know that they are connected to larger systems. My extensive knowledge of Individual and Family Systems allows me to work successfully with individuals, couples, and entire families."

"Life can be confusing, overwhelming, and uncertain at times. While you might feel untethered, I am here to help you find your voice and strengths in the times where you might feel the most lost. We can work together to strengthen your identity, find your goals, and address your thoughts and feelings to help you become the self you want to be. I will work with you on issues of transition, marriage preparation, trauma, sexual addiction, infidelity and personality disorders."

"Do you long for a life of passion and purpose?

Through the co-creation of a safe and supportive therapeutic partnership, we will explore and address your personal and relational paradigms and patterns--your ways of "seeing" and "being" in the world--to promote amplified resiliency and constructive life change. My approach is relational, conversational, holistic, and empowerment-oriented."
