Therapists in Leawood, KS

I serve a wide array of clients. These include individuals, families, and children. My background, skills, and experience lend themselves particularly well to younger clients. My practice most often addresses issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, relationships, anger management, attachment, divorce, emotion regulation, parent-child relationship, sibling conflict, self-esteem, blended families, and adoption.

Are you feeling anxious, confused or frustrated? Or maybe your child is expressing extreme emotions and everyone in the family is overwhelmed. Life can be unpredictable and everyone’s stories and journeys are unique. I believe in empowering individuals to realize their full potential and that establishing a secure attachment foundation is vital for healthy emotional growth.

I am a relationship & marriage mender, an ADHD & ASD warrior, and a shame/blame buster. You don't have to do this alone. I work with individuals & couples, many who feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or hopeless. Whether you are burdened by current life anxieties, relationship challenges, or struggling with the pain and shame of past hurts, I will listen to you with an attitude of compassion, warmth, and caring. My clients struggle with many issues including depression, anxiety, past trauma, undiagnosed ADHD, undiagnosed/self-diagnosed Autism, infidelity, marriage problems, spiritual concerns, and more. Oh hey... squirrel!

Do you ever wonder why your child engages in certain behaviors? All behavior has meaning and not knowing all the answers about your child can bring up a lot of different emotions. Mindful Guidance offers both individual and family therapy, as well as comprehensive ADHD assessments that are strengths-based and tailored specifically to the needs of your child and family. I recognize that growth takes time and can evoke strong emotions. As such, I work with you to foster a safe space to process situations, relationships, and events in your child's life to help set them up for success.

I am a therapist that works with people of all ages. As an experienced therapist, I have worked with a variety of mental health issues for kids, teens and adults in an effective way. I often use strategies such as EMDR, play therapy, DBT, mindfulness, accelerated resolution therapy and others. Please reach out to see if I would be a good match for you or your family.

Are you ready to make changes in your life? I am committed to helping individuals, couples and teens achieve a better life. I have more than a decade of experience helping clients with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, relationships. Trust me to help you reach the goals you have set for yourself.
