Therapists in Manhattan, KS

Life is a journey, and during the inevitable times when rocky waters toss us around, it helps to have a person in your life who has successfully navigated the rivers, and made it to the other side, where the waters are calm and smooth. I have always been the person people opened up to about what was bothering them. I was born to witness your journey. I am a professionally trained counselor and art therapist. I want to help you understand what has gotten you to this point in your life and determine where to go from there.

Helping individuals, couples and families identify and cope with life challenges in healthy and positive ways.

Everyone has an inner strength and I view it as my job to guide you in finding and using this strength to begin living a life you enjoy living. I take a collaborative approach to therapy with the use of acceptance, optimism, and enthusiasm. My focus is supporting children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing eating disorders, depression, anxiety, unhealthy relationships, and life adjustments. As a family therapist, I have a unique perspective for supporting and encouraging each family member while addressing the concern that initiated therapy. I encourage self-compassion and self-understanding in all therapy practices.

I am passionate about serving mothers in Kansas City, especially mothers within the BIPOC & Latinx community. Social justice is an important issue in our world, and work needs to be done to continue to build up systemically oppressed individuals who don't yet have the knowledge & resources to advocate for themselves. I believe that every individual is born with the strength & resilience that is required when facing life's challenges & difficulties. As a therapist, it's my job to help clients uncover their strengths, & provide the tools necessary to be an even stronger, more empowered mom. It takes a village to raise a child!

Do you find yourself living a life with little or no joy or have problems finding calm in a world full of chaos and stress? Carrying out daily activities may a struggle. Goals may seem nearly impossible to reach. I work with clients to find a centered life focusing from a strengths perspective. I assist children to understand their emotions and am able to implement behavioral and socioemotional techniques to help young children self soothe and self regulate. I work with adults as well with diverse populations and use an eclectic approach based on needs for each client to reach their goals in a meaningful way for each individual.

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.
