Therapists in Eastborough, KS

We all need a little help from time to time. Finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and safe can be a challenge. My goal is to provide a non judgmental environment where you feel valued and understood. I am extremely passionate about empowering others to make positive changes in their lives and would love the opportunity to support you through your journey.

I am passionate about helping children and their families interact and communicate with each other effectively. Feeling loved, listened to, and validated by our family is one of the best feelings. Although I enjoy working with children, I also know that having a strong parental figure(s) is important. Sometimes a parent or a couple is who needs to be in the therapy room to initiate change in a family system. I also enjoy working with adults on empowering themselves and helping them set boundaries within their relationships to alleviate stress from their lives.

Daytime availability. As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe space for my clients.

I enjoy working with all people through all situations and will work at your pace.

I firmly believe everyone has what they need to live a happy and healthy life, and I work passionately with my clients to help them accomplish their therapy goals.

Most of all, I strive to create a warm, inviting, safe place for therapy, and I believe in the power of laughter.

You are allowed to go to therapy even if your life is perfect on paper. Therapy can be intimidating but it doesn’t have to be. I realize that no two people or situations are the same and as such I tailor my therapy to meet the specific needs of my clients. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma processing.

We can all use a little extra help at times. Those who are truly wise make sure to have trusted people in their lives who can help them see new options they might have missed. Using a strengths-based approach to therapy, I enjoy helping clients reclaim power in their lives and discover a path through their struggles that they may have never noticed before. I am passionate about working with couples, families, and individuals who are experiencing concerns related to depression, anxiety, abuse, trauma, binge-eating, grief & traumatic loss, relationship conflict, parenting, divorce, personality disorders, pain, faith, & aging concerns.

I believe all people were created with dignity and worth for relationships as beautiful masterpieces that are fragmented by both small and large traumas due to the brokenness of our world. My passion is to walk alongside others in their healing, equipping them with the tools they need to address their emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual goals in pursuing restoration and wholeness. My Christian faith lays the foundation to offer acceptance, grace, freedom, and confident hope for healing. My approach to therapy utilizes Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and somatic work, and is systemic in focus.

I believe that life is a journey. In this journey, life often has detours, obstacles and challenges that can lead us off our desire path. Together in therapy we will work together to begin to travel down the new desired path and journey in life.

I use traditional talk therapy techniques as well as hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques.
