All individuals have the capacity for growth and change, as well as to move beyond life's stumbling blocks, if given the opportunity and with adequate support. In my office, you will find an atmosphere of comfort, relaxation, warmth and acceptance. I work with clients who experience an array of personal and relational difficulties. You deserve to feel empowered and encouraged to utilize your strengths to make the positive changes necessary to feel better. It is an honor for me to accompany you on your journey toward feeling less depressed, anxious, frustrated, overwhelmed...whatever it is that you are experiencing.
I have over 25 years of experience working with adults, elderly and children in various settings, including: acute hospitalization, partial hospitalization, mental health center, as well as in the client's home as part of medical home health services. My strengths are based in treating the adult population.
My practice integrates a strengths approach with cognitive behavioral techniques & solution focused strategies. I accept those who I believe would be a good fit with my clinical abilities. I take BCBS and Medicaid insurance (Sunflower/UHC), or self pay. Please know I do not have late-day/evening or weekend hours. Please email to inquire of availability.
