Positive Changes Inspire Future Growth! I'm very passionate about my line of work and helping others achieve goals, make progress, and improve overall functioning. Life can be unpredictable and difficult at times... I'm here to help empower you through it and encourage personal growth!

Isaac Newton once said, "We build too many walls and not enough bridges." As a therapist it is my goal to assist my clients with rebuilding solid bridges in their lives. I intend to partner with you and begin working toward achieving your personal goals to reach your desired mental health. I have many modalities to utilize in order to achieve your goals, but most importantly I strive to generate a positive environment for you as the client to feel confident in working on your struggles and gain new perspectives in bettering your life.

Often times, I’ve noticed that people seeking therapy already intuitively know what they want, or even what their potential solutions may be – before stepping foot inside my office. What they may lack is the support towards making those desires a reality. That’s why my therapeutic approach is collaborative and centered around strengthening your voice and choice in your life. I won’t stand in front of you to pull you in this direction, or behind you, to push you in another; but rather you can find me walking beside you serving as your rock and partner in healing.

Life becomes difficult for everyone at times. Emotions and cognitions can build up and be experienced in negative ways. I work with clients of all ages to increase hope and trust in their lives and relationships. I want to empower my clients to learn skills to effectively handle whatever they are struggling with in their life. I walk with my clients as they learn to handle the ups and downs of their life journey.

I focus on trauma initially because what I have found in over 6 years of work as a trauma therapist, is that so much of our present concerns and limitations is rooted in trauma exposure and history. This lends itself to unhealthy patterns of avoidance, hypervigilance/hyperarousal, disturbance in mood and cognitions. and being inundated with intrusions and flashbacks. Many patients that have struggled with years with anxiety and or depressive episodes really have suffered from trauma that has not yet been dealt with. T Fields Trauma Therapy is for you if this describes you!

I believe that therapy can be fun, focused, serious, or emotional, depending on your needs and emotional state in the moment. I am a friendly therapist with a knack for making people feel comfortable and supported, balancing sincerity with humor. I founded Level: Wellness • Mind therapy practice, 2023 Best of Wichita Gold winner for Mental Health Services, to reflect my approach to help people, and for all the therapists at Level: Wellness • Mind to conduct the best “strengths-based therapy for a level life.” We now have 2 locations in Wichita and Topeka.

Hi there! I am so incredibly grateful that you are reaching out for help. Let's be honest it is not always easy to show vulnerabilities and issues that have us struggling. Here you are doing what is hard, so for that you are to be commended. Whether it is abuse you have experienced or are experiencing, memories of the past now coming up, perhaps grief over loss or anxiety, something is hindering you from living a vibrant life. Let's work through that together and create a life worth living.

Shine is a group therapy practice. We are passionate about walking alongside hurting people as they courageously face life's challenges and heal emotional wounds. Attending to mind, body and spirit are essential to healing, applying the process of holistic approaches in the therapy journey. We believe in people and their ability to maneuver through painful life experiences and come out stronger and more resilient. We desire to provide a non-judgmental environment of grace, hope, and safety, so that the healing process can occur. We enjoy offering support, encouragement and praise for the challenging work of personal growth.

Clients who work with me feel empowered and reassured on their first visit, and they continue with me, because they notice changes happening. For the past 20 years, I've worked in private and group practices, providing counseling and other services to people from many different walks of life. I help people re-evaluate, become closer to a loved one, process difficult decisions or transitions and grieve significant losses. I enjoy helping people become more truthful about themselves and live with integrity. I fiercely protect the privacy and confidentiality of my clients and provide a private, safe setting for our work together.

You’re exhausted, and it’s time to find rest and peace. You may be feeling anxious, angry, overwhelmed, or alone. You desire connection in close relationships, but intense feelings often create division. You feel stressed or triggered at times, and you’re not sure why. Quiet peacefulness is what you long for—calm, steady relationships that heal instead of hurt.

Welcome. So glad you stopped by :) Feeling challenged, depressive, anxious, or unsupported? If so, I'd feel privileged to walk alongside you in your journey of self-discovery & healing. I'm extremely passionate about working w/ my clients & believe my passion shines through, creating an effective, empathetic therapeutic relationship. I am highly skilled in anxiety, mood, personality, anxiety, addiction disorders, PTSD, and relationship challenges. Too often, we don't place our well-being as a priority, but we SHOULD, because it WILL make a difference in your life. My focus is ALWAYS on YOU b/c YOU are who matters the most!!! :)

I love to help people begin again to get healthy, well and strong. Whether they are coming through a physical or mental illness, divorce, grief or other life transition, being knocked down in any way, requires support to get back up and start again. I am support.
