Now offering 3 free sessions to those impacted by the KC Chiefs Parade shooting and subsequent sessions at a reduced rate for those wanting to work on the trauma. TF-CBT, CPT I help those on their search for self exploration, and treating trauma. With EMDR you are in total control of reprocessing your traumatic/disturbing experience. You don’t even have to disclose about the event if you don’t want to. Taking the first step can be scary but therapy is a place of safety, a place to have your thoughts and feelings heard and validated. A place where you are in control of what you want the conversation to be and what direction you take.

Understanding that you are the unique product of your life experiences, I utilize a holistic approach to treatment, ensuring individualized care.

I am passionate about helping people from all backgrounds, who are struggling with their mental health. This includes depression, anxiety and dealing with past trauma. My approach is to meet people where they are and guide them to who they desire to be. There are many ways to reach success, many ways to ease the distress of anxiety and depression. Mindfulness is just one of the tools that I believe is helpful to finding relief from the distress of many mental health struggles.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
