Body Positivity Therapists in Mitchell County, KS

I specialize in working with: Trauma, PTSD, Eating Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, Body Image, Perfectionism, low self-esteem, sexual abuse and ADHD. I utilize EMDR, DBT, CBT, self-compassion, mindfulness, and somatic therapies. For over a decade, I have been honored to play a role in my clients’ healing journey. I provide individual counseling services to individuals ages 25 and over. I practice through a trauma-informed, holistic, neuroscience lens, helping you to put words to what you are experiencing and learn how to understand the sensations you feel in your body, your emotions, and your thoughts.

I firmly believe in the philosophy that "it is okay to be human." All of us struggle to navigate the balance between emotional well-being and the demands of daily life. We all grapple with establishing healthy boundaries and find ourselves stretched thin by the responsibilities we shoulder. This can lead to stress, both at work and in our personal lives, as we strive to meet societal expectations and our own aspirations. My goal is to guide you in navigating life's complexities with confidence.

Not all clients arrive to therapy with the same issues or the same rooting point, so therapy needs to be unique to each individual. I provide a space to establish how clients see therapy happening and I am there to help guide the process in a healthy manner. The space belongs to the client, not me.

Just because they say to make lemonade when life hands you lemons doesn't mean you have to go through it alone. I believe that safe relationships promote healing, so it is my goal to provide you a safe and nonjudgmental space. I have 6 years of experience in community mental health, during which I worked with people who had severe and persistent mental illness. If you feel like your problems are too much for one person to handle, I'd like to help.

If you're looking for a therapist who is affirming of your gender identity, sexual orientation, relationship style (monogamy and non-monogamy), and who understands and affirms kink/BDSM identities/lifestyles, then I am likely a good fit for you. I am a strengths-based and person-centered clinician who will support and challenge you while you empower yourself and work to meet your goals. I am committed to being present while you explore the boundaries, roles, and identities that feel the safest and most authentic to you. Your authentic self is safe here.

I specialize in helping individuals across the lifespan address and navigate the challenges of chronic and acute medical conditions, depression, anxiety, work stress, grief, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. For both individuals and couples this process often involves increasing self-awareness and insight into your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. I also provide tools and skills to increase your ability to achieve your goals.

Are you a parent struggling to understand the complex emotional or behavioral issues your kiddo is facing? Maybe you are in survival mode, barely making it through the day before you collapse, exhausted, into bed each night, just do start the whole process over in the morning. It can cause strain on a marriage when survival mode becomes the daily grind. I want to help you add some tools to your toolbelt. Parenting kids with a trauma background is a whole different ballgame that requires a different approach than conventional parenting. I love to help couples be on the same team and make it through these tumultuous waters together.

Struggling to help your child understand and manage their big emotions? Unsure what is going on in your middle or high schoolers life and thoughts? Big changes in your family causing stress? Do you feel like your child sees the world differently than you? I am well equipped to serve those who have experienced a variety of challenges including neurodivergence, trauma, grief, parental divorce, anxiety, or depression. I meet my patients where they are, in this moment, and work on what is important to them. Whether working with a toddler or adult, my office has the tools they need to create their best selves.

Let's make some goals together and work on moving past the things that have you stuck where you are. I have a background in trauma, addiction, neurodivergence, and work with children that can help me help you in whatever stage you are at in life. I want to learn about what is important to you and help you find your superpowers in the things others think are weaknesses. I believe everyone is valuable, everyone is worthy, and everyone is important. As your counselor I promise to not judge you, but instead support you in what you are needing.

If you're experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD, stress, self-confidence issues, or struggling to find self-acceptance, know that you don't have to navigate this alone. I help individuals ages 12-28 work through life's challenges using humor (dark humor, anyone?), curiosity, and empathy. Online therapy/telehealth sessions with me can provide the space you need to explore these difficulties and find a path forward in the comfort of your own home. I have immediate availability as of April 2024.

Everyone needs help navigating life's biggest challenges, regrets, losses, illnesses, and/or worries. Sometimes the support system we have been relying upon is just not enough to help us overcome our current frustrations. Anxiety and depression can seep in and take over without us even realizing how paralyzing it can be. Rejuvenate your sense of well-being and get back on track. You have taken the first encouraging step by reaching out to get more help in setting up your goals to a better well-being.

If you have located my page, you're looking in the mirror and can't connect with the person you see. Maybe you don't even know where they belong. You're confused and overwhelmed, and feel as if your whole life is based on a lie. You don't know where to start or who to trust, and the confusion is so consuming you can’t focus on your daily tasks. ​ You desire peace, and you crave independence. You’re searching for inclusion, worthiness, love and freedom.

Life circumstances can become overwhelming. We have all had times when we need hope and extra support to get back our leverage on life, or to process those difficult life events and find strength again. Maybe you feel you keep revisiting old patterns and want to understand why and make changes, or you have some decisions to make and need an objective professional ear. I can help you through your journey, and give you the strength needed to guide your decisions. I bring a rich and diverse background, which includes experiences and education of over twenty years in health and human relations.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State who works from a CBT perspective but does utilize a collaborative style. My approach is to work with you and help you realize your strengths and to find healthy ways to cope with difficult situations in your life. I work with adolescents(13-18), adults and geriatric on a variety of mental health concerns, however, I specialize in helping individuals with mood disorders and sexual addiction/dysfunction.

I offer compassionate and empathetic mental health services to adult clients in a safe, judgment-free environment for those struggling with emotional dysregulation, trauma, relationship issues, depression/mood disorders, and other problems. My purpose is to serve as your guide as you navigate through the process of healing and growth. We will work together using a person-centered, strengths-focused approach that supports you as an individual fully capable of creating positive change in your life. All individuals deserve to be respected, to receive acceptance, and to be deeply valued. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming clinician.

I work with individuals between the ages of 13-65 on issues related to: Addictions, marital/relationship struggles, anxiety/depression, overcoming fear and shame, living an authentic and purposeful life, embracing vulnerability, military men/women/families and death/dying/grief. I also enjoy working with professionals struggling with Impostor Syndrome and other professional issues. I believe that optimal mental and relational health is first achieved by establishing healthy habits in the areas of nutrition, exercise, mindfulness/prayer/meditation, and social connections.
