Therapists in Andover, KS

Whether you are dealing with general life challenges or issues specifically related to being a woman, I can help. My goal is to help women become empowered. I believe we can change how we live by changing how we think. We can change our negative self-thoughts and unhealthy behaviors, learn how to express ourselves in an assertive way and set healthy boundaries, overcome trauma and move from surviving to thriving, change how we relate to others and improve our relationships, improve our body image, make healthy choices, learn how to manage/overcome anxiety or depression or anything else that is keeping us from reaching our potential.

Life can be tough! Do you feel like you had it all together & then someone pulled the rug from under you? Maybe you have previously experienced trauma & thought you moved past it. Now you find yourself feeling frustrated, isolated, & alone. Maybe you are finding yourself triggered by your kids, partner, parents, or friends. You love them, but the stressors have caused you to want to take a month-long vacation from them! You have tried dealing with your anxiety, anger, stress, all on your own but find yourself struggling to manage day to day responsibilities and stay afloat - yelling too much, working too much.

I started as an educator and then a high school counselor prior to branching off into private practice. I enjoy helping individuals work through their difficult times and grow into who they desire to be. I don’t believe that a person needs “fixed” but more that you just need support while you grow and shift during a challenging time. I also enjoy helping couples reconnect and learn how to be the best partner they can be while keeping communication and intimacy intact.

I enjoy working with teen and adult individuals from all walks of life, but feel particularly drawn to walking alongside clients on a journey of empowerment and liberation from oppressive and unhealthy relationships and/or systems. I believe that the most healing part of therapy is the co-created space and relationship between clinical and client. My work is trauma-informed, and I practice from a stance of authenticity, acceptance, and warmth. I have a blended approach, regularly drawing from theories such as client-centered, CBT, narrative, attachment and social learning, transactional analysis, and restorative/embodied practices.

Hello! I believe the order and steps taken in therapy matter, walking through issues at your pace and in your timing. I work toward: integration of the person as a whole, considering and working through ineffective patterns and beliefs, walking up to, and developing skills to regulate emotionally and working to rewire/reprogram the ineffective neurological pathways established in the brain.

I recognize that all families and individuals go through difficult times and believe in a strengths-based approach in helping clients achieve personal goals.

As your therapist, my goal is to provide you a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment where you are able to explore your full potential for healing, growth, and change. I believe in a collaborative, integrative, and mind-body approach when working with adults who have experienced trauma; depression and anxiety disorders; anger issues; blended family and relationship issues; divorce; and everyday life stressors and adjustments.

Helping people learn how to express their needs and discover ways to meet those needs so they can begin to feel happy and satisfied is my goal for any therapeutic relationship. For over 25 years, through the roles of pastor, military chaplain and professional therapist, I have assisted people in understanding the distress they are experiencing and learning to incorporate the changes needed to improve their lives.

So many people have that "record" that plays on repeat in their head. The one that whispers to them when they look in the mirror, "you are not good enough." My goal is to work with high functioning, successful people who still hear that voice saying "you are not good enough." My goal is to work with you to challenge that voice and eventually get rid of it so you can have all of the happiness you deserve!

I work with couples through Prepare Enrich and Couples Communication. I am also EMDR certified, which helps to provide a trauma based therapy. I am passionate about learning of a client's story and providing the necessary tools, skills, and education to help the client overcome their struggles.
