I specialize in working with clients with ADD/ ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD/Trauma, loss and Divorce.
Kids just want to be heard. I empower my clients to feel comfortable opening up to tell their side of the story so I can help them to improve daily life. I have been in the field of education for 20 years (elementary/middle school teacher and current school counselor) and have learned how to build relationships with my students/clients that are comfortable and trusting. A trusting relationship is where change starts to happen! Parents are included in the process of therapy in order to have a full circle approach to tackling the child's biggest challenges. My focus is on children, adolescents and young adult age groups.

I’m a mental health therapist in the states of Missouri and Kansas with 10+ years of experience providing support to individuals and their families in addressing their mental health and wellness. I seek to provide an empathetic, affirming and inclusive space for all that need help to work through the barriers in pursuing a life worth living. Often this can look like identifying and addressing “stuck points” that can impact our perception of self, others and the world and contribute to anxiety, feelings of sadness and struggles with self-worth as well as concerns with a sense of safety and security in an uncertain world.

I have experience with ADHD, BPD, mood disorders and anxiety disorders.
I firmly believe that those who make the most impact are often those who have walked a similar path themselves. Clients often say that they haven't felt understood or even understand theirselves. It took me a long time to shift from a place of misunderstood toward a place of confidence. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, creativity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. People in today's society need someone they can trust. I'm a stranger. You shouldn't trust me. Know I will work to earn that trust from you. Because the relationship between a client and therapist needs to be solid to make great work happen.

ADHD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
