Are you facing challenges that seem insurmountable? Struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions? I am here to guide you towards a path of healing, growth, and empowerment. With a warm and empathetic approach, I can provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and concerns. My therapeutic approach is tailored to your unique needs, helping you gain insights, develop coping strategies, and foster a deeper understanding of yourself.

Relationships, parenting and healing from past trauma are all hard. We don't want to just barely keep our heads above water. We want to live healthy and free. It would be my absolute privilege to join you in your journey toward healing, clarity and wellness: personally, professionally, and spiritually. Whether living in rural or urban areas in Kansas, I understand our environments play such a significant part in our overall wellbeing, and I bring my experience to serve my clients to my best. We can do really great work together, achieve goals, and without the obstacles of time-consuming travel, as sessions are held via telehealth.

As a compassionate therapist, my goal is to guide you towards understanding, self-discovery, and positive change. Together, we will navigate the complexities of your emotions, thoughts, and experiences.

“The mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.” Managing our mental health can seem like an overwhelming task, it doesn’t have to be. Together we can create a process where you can feel empowered to deal with the difficulties that are present in your life. By providing a space where you can feel safe and supported, you can build the confidence necessary to navigate your journey regardless of what may come next.

Emotional and psychological health is crucial to achieve the quality of life you deserve. Interruptions to our emotional well-being can often feel overwhelming and bring aspects of our lives to a halt. My goal is to create a safe, confidential environment where you can be heard and accepted without judgment. Together, we will identify your goals and use the highest quality interventions to achieve them. I would be honored to work with you.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Kansas, I enjoy learning and growing with my clients of all ages and backgrounds. C.S Lewis once said, “There are no ordinary people.” I believe there are no ordinary struggles or victories, joy or pain, trauma or coping…It is my goal, as a counselor, to uncover what makes each client unique as they face the ebbs and flows of life. I collaborate with clients to build on strengths, while confronting old thinking that is way too ordinary to support an extraordinary life. For these reasons, I work from a Narrative Therapy perspective.

Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself, your child, your relationship or your family beginning therapy can be daunting and challenging. It is my hope to offer you an environment where you can consistently feel safe, supported and accepted; allowing you to make this step with more assurance and ease.

My promise to you is that I will listen and genuinely try to understand what you are going through. Because I care about you, I will be respectful, but honest. My mission is to help you search for the answers, skills and strength needed to make changes that will put you in a position to cope with the circumstances of your life. Since many of those dilemmas are often the result of self-defeating thoughts, I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Exposure Response Therapy. I am EMDR trained for anxiety and trauma related counseling and healing.

I have specialized in working with different ages over the past almost 3 decades and now get to work with them ALL. I creatively engage children/adolescents with interventions tailored to individual needs. I equip & support my clients' parents/guardians from a parent and clinician perspective. My favorite job of all time was directing a college counseling center as young adulthood is an ideal time for intervention to build resiliency and equip for the future. I want to meet adult clients in the midst of their challenges, crises, mental health struggles, and just plain life.

My practice is based on a strength's perspective, using a collaborative approach to each session. Using your experiences, discussing tools and new strategies, you will move through your sessions with a sense of growth and change. I will use an eclectic approach to therapy; using solution focused, cognitive behavioral or creative forms of therapy, like journaling. The structure and approach of sessions is determined by your needs. Visit my website for more information.

You’ve poured your heart and soul into creating a family, and your heart is breaking. Anger and defiance erupt when you want love and peace. If you are struggling in your family relationships, we can work together to help your family move from surviving to thriving.

In my experience, parents often come to that first intake session feeling at a loss on how to make positive change in their child’s behavior. I will listen to you carefully and compassionately as we all come up with a plan that works for your family. Helping children build confidence in themselves, reach goals and reclaim their joy of just being a kid is what drives me every day. I am honored to work with families as they step through the challenging process of understanding what mental illness for their child means for them. I look forward to joining you on that journey.

I am a co-owner and co-founder of an integrated mental health agency in Lawrence, KS. I got into the field of mental health to tackle the tough cases, to facilitate healing and growth for people at all stages of life, to have fun and do meaningful, transformative work in the process. I have a comprehensive academic background in therapy, theories of change, psychology, neuroscience, and related areas. My main goal is taking this knowledge and creatively adapting it to modern, dynamic, and ever-changing problems and needs. I would love the opportunity to work with you.

Navigating our world has become increasingly difficult over recent years and our young people are met with obstacles more challenging than ever before. When our brains are built in unique ways relationships in the home, school, and with our peers and family is even more challenging. I have an extensive history working with families and children of all ages 10-18 years old. Children and teens with special and unique needs such as Autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, childhood grief and loss, and emotional regulation and anxiety are my specialty.
