I am a Licensed Psychologist who works with adolescents and adults with a variety of mental health issues and chronic health conditions. A primary focus of my practice is teaching women to advocate for themselves. I am currently providing tele-health for Kansas residents.

My emphasis is on individuals, couples, and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship/marital issues, pregnancy/premature births and spiritual/religious issues.

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.

Are you longing for a sense of deeper knowing, presence, and integration in your life? Everything taking place, no matter how uncertain or challenging, is assisting you in your next steps in orienting to your deepest Self. I offer holistic spiritual direction to support you in walking your unique path...in spirit, heart, mind, and body. I collaborate with you in an intuitive, person-centered way to live your life from a place of integrity and alignment to your inner guidance, using various integrative modalities including Jungian psychology, energy practices, and attachment and trauma-informed, body-centered somatic healing.

If you are here, it means you are struggling. Life is not what you dreamed it would be. You feel overwhelmed, lost, and alone. You’re buried by life’s demands, which leaves little to no room for you. Your longings feel like a distant part of self that feel out of reach. You may even have trouble knowing who you are. You are not alone. Our fast paced, demanding culture leaves little room for true connection. Here, we will slow way down and create space just for you. I will join you in your struggle, and together we will explore the unknown to find your voice, to get you to where you want to be.

Being a human happens. Struggle happens. Fear happens. Hurt happens. Stuckness happens. Whatever you're going through...happens. Now what? If you're human, like me, you might avoid it, numb it, push it down, sleep more, drink more, eat more, do more and so on. Well, shit. That's not helping! So you decide to maybe talk to someone. Yay, you! I'm so glad you did. If you learn anything from this search process, know this; you are not defected or broken. You are a complex human and that's a good thing. You are capable of of not only the hard-of-life, but the ease, joy and the pleasure too.

One of my favorite quotes is by Emily Dickinson, "I am out with the lanterns looking for myself." Over the last 46 years of wandering this earth, I don't know a lot to be true, but I strongly believe that we are all doing the best we can with what we have. Sometimes we just don't have what we need. We are all better together. We are all wandering this earth trying to find purpose. And we all need help finding our way. There is a wild and holy beast inside of all of us waiting to be loved and tamed...but kept a little wild. Our wild is our magic. It is why people love us. Please stay a little wild.

I believe that we are all in the process of becoming. But at times, we all get stuck or lost along the way. In those stuck points, it can feel disheartening and the idea of getting out becomes daunting. I will journey with you through these points and help you rediscover your trajectory. Sometimes rediscovering that becoming looks like reigniting what used to give us life and sometimes it looks like finding new ways of being that help us to feel rooted and whole.

I understand every person’s story and situation is unique and valid. I'm intentional about developing trust and creating a judgment free space. I view counseling as a collaborative process where my primary goal is to meet you at whatever point in your journey you are today. I’m a life-long learner - I stay up to date with the most effective relationship & trauma therapy techniques as a CEU consumer and an adjunct instructor. I teach master’s level couple & family therapy courses. I practice Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which integrates empirical evidence on what makes love last.

I enjoy guiding you toward achieving your goals. I'm flexible and easy-going while always having a definitive plan for how you're going to reach your goals. I often giving worksheets & between session suggestions (homework) to further your progress. Becoming unstuck from the past is often needed for present and future happiness. Traumas, depression, anxiety, anger, low-self-esteem, or psychosis are common challenges which will impede contentment. With barriers greatly reduced or removed, people are free to live their lives as they choose. To contact me please EMAIL so I can quickly find and see your message.

Money is a leading cause of emotional pain and family conflict. From income discrepancies between partners to intractable sibling conflict, finances are often a point of contention. Money is also the leading cause of stress in the US, and it takes courage to address it because it usually triggers underlying issues. In a changing cultural environment, managing these issues can seem overwhelming and isolating, particularly for men. As a licensed psychotherapist shaped by an extensive career in finance, I offer a unique set of skills to help clients change unhealthy patterns from money and family life —and bring relief to the table.
