Anger Management Therapists in Mission, KS

Did you know that it’s ok, not to be ok? Before you can heal, change and transform yourself, you must accept where you are and what you feel right now. Being confronted with obstacles and stressors in life can be confusing and challenging, but you do not have to tackle them alone. If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken the first, and hardest step; reaching out for help. No matter what struggles you may be facing, always remember, the comeback is stronger than the setback. As a Licensed Psychotherapist, with an educational background in Behavioral Neuroscience & Clinical Psychology; I will help you better understand - YOU!

I work with individuals, couples and families on such issues as relationship issues, problem solving, conflict resolution, communication enhancement, anger management, drug/alcohol abuse and addiction. Many clients present with depression, bipolar disorder and other mood disorders, psychotic disorders, ADHD, childhood disorders such as conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, etc. I work with adults and couples on relationship/marital issues, domestic violence, etc. I work with clients who have experienced abuse, both sexual and physical. I assist parents with parent-child relational issues and behavior modification skill development. I also assist clients with anxiety disorders, grief/loss issues and struggles with adjusting to life circumstances.

Everyone experiences ups and downs in their life. When those experiences begin to feel like a never ending cycle of fear, conflict, and pain, we stall out. I help couples, families, and individuals who experience relational problems, intercultural difficulties, depression, anger, anxiety, and many other issues. The clients I see are often seeking ways to improve their relationships and change the patterns that continue to cause them grief and pain. Ultimately, I guide clients to live an authentic and healthier life with others and with themselves.

I believe that there are times in our lives when we need someone to help us navigate through painful and confusing situations we all encounter in life. Many times root causes can be found in both our past, as well as present circumstances. As a Christian counselor, I incorporate faith in the healing process. I believe that God can bring lasting change where human effort alone oftentimes fails. Also, having a strong alliance with someone who can empathize with our situation provides the necessary support needed to carry out lasting change. It is my desire to help you get unstuck, and assist you on your journey of emotional healing

Hello there, athlete (and sport parents)! I'm glad you're here. Being an athlete is amazing (most days), but it comes with challenges. Maintaining a high level of performance AND enjoying your sport experience can be tough. Maybe you've lost your confidence, can't shake anxious thoughts, or you're afraid of letting others down. Maybe you're feeling the demands of athlete life. You're probably doing a lot of traveling, training, practicing and competing, sometimes sacrificing a personal life for your sport goals. Challenges with coaches and teammates happen too. Seeking support is such a strong choice. We'll work through it together.

Why would anyone choose to open up to a complete stranger about pain and difficulty that is intensely personal? We often keep our problems to ourselves - for lots of understandable reasons - until we hit a wall and, in the 11th hour of fleeting hope, the hurt propels us to reach out for help. I am no different; I’ve been there before, and my passion is meeting people in the hour of greatest need to offer help and hope. I would be honored to speak with you about working together for healing, growth, and transformation.

Do you feel seen? Do you feel heard? Do you feel you matter? Those are the ingredients that build connection. And connection is vitally important for our happiness. However, so often today that's exactly what we find is missing. And life can hand us things we don't know how to deal with. I'd love to work with you to help you build strategies that build connection between yourself and those you care about. I’m deeply moved by the work people do for repair and healing. Share your story with me. I will listen without judgement and with compassion for your struggle.

Here you are, looking for some help-so well done, you! Sometimes part of us wants help and another part wants to "do it on our own". Therefore, it is understandable that it might be no small task to make that first call. AND since sorting thoughts, feelings, and worries can feel overwhelming, I appreciate your courage and wisdom in seeking professional assistance, because no one has to do this alone. Getting to "better" is often very collaborative. Together, we can find a healthy and safe way to discover, sort and map the confusion/worry and then move forward. When you are ready, please give me a call. I am right here.

Therapy is a powerful form of treatment that can be used to make personal improvements while gaining awareness and creating change. I believe we are all working through struggles and obstacles in our lives. Sometimes a little guidance is needed to get to the place we want to be and work to achieve happiness. As a licensed therapist, I am here to not only listen but assist in creating change and making improvements in the lives of others. I strive to create a calm, safe atmosphere and use a non-judgmental, modern approach when providing services.

Relationship difficulties, intense emotions, anxiety, stress and depression -- these are issues that many face each day. If you are struggling, know that you are not alone and that you are stronger and wiser than you likely feel. Pain is inevitable in life, but we can learn from our experiences, adapt and create a life that is more peaceful and enjoyable. I want to provide a safe space for you to talk about your current and past experiences, to express the thoughts and feelings you are struggling with and to feel inspired and empowered to continue working on yourself and improving your life.

Throughout our lives, we've learned various ways to feel better or ease our pain. Whether it's relying on harmful habits like self-harm or substance use, or escaping reality through distractions, we may find ourselves stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. If this sounds like you, I'm here to assist you in relearning healthier coping mechanisms. Whether your pain stems from childhood trauma, biological factors, developmental challenges, dual diagnoses, or relational issues, I want to help you navigate your present in a safe way without feeling overwhelmed by the past, and guide you towards a brighter future.

We all face stressors in our lives as a part of being human. Often times, these stressors can leave us feeling overwhelmed, afraid, and not knowing what to do. I want to help you not only face these stressors, but find a deeper connection to yourself as we navigate these challenges together. I believe that everyone deserves dignity, respect, and an opportunity to be heard and connect with their authentic selves.
