I want to empower my clients to learn skills to effectively handle whatever they are struggling with in their life. I walk with my clients as they learn to handle the ups and downs of their life journey.

After 14+ years of working with diverse populations, I opened my private practice to work specifically with professional adults. I firmly believe that even in a rural area such as Emporia, professional adults deserve to have high quality, and most importantly, confidential therapy. My practice has been intentionally designed to provide such an experience, through my office location, session environment, and documentation standards. Additionally, no one else will ever have access to your protected health information as I do my own billing as well.

Hi there! I know is not easy to take the first step into therapy. Or making the decision to get back into therapy or even looking for a new counselor. It takes strength and wisdom to reach out for help. Sometimes life does not go the way we plan. Or we simply find ourselves with day to day stress/struggles. I like to embrace what you are already doing good and empower you in your life journey.

Life at times appears to reach a breaking point in which everything feels as if it is unraveling, however the ending of something can be the beginning of something else. These transitions are extraordinarily difficult because change is hard, but inevitable. The deeper question: What am I? is revealed at the core of one's existence. It is worth exploring.

As a creative guide I empower others with a mind-body-spirit approach to: find balance, tap into their intuition, and bring their own vision and desires to life. Are you feeling disconnected from yourself or others? Are you ready to dive deep into self-discovery and spiritual connection; strengthen your intimate relationships; reignite passion; explore self-identity and sexuality; build confidence; develop healthy boundaries; or need someone to help you walk through grief? I believe that adding creative expression into our lives helps reduce stress, promotes healing, and provides the opportunity to know ourselves in an intimate way.

Is life hard for you right now? You are not your symptoms and you are not alone. Life issues are hard enough, but going through them alone or unsupported is even harder. It can take a toll on a person mentally, physically, and emotionally. Counseling can be a powerful asset and I would love the opportunity to be your ally as we work together through your journey of healing, insight, and growth. I strive to create a foundation that provides a safe, non-judgmental environment so that personal exploration, reflection, growth, and positive changes can occur.

The tension in your chest is there again. You can hardly catch your breath. So much to do! Your mind is racing and you feel like you are drowning. Even the smallest things are irritating. You just screamed at your son for spilling a drink, and now feel terrible about it. You missed another assignment at work because you’re so distracted. Confidence is at an all-time low. “I can’t do anything right,” you tell yourself. You know something needs to change, but you’re paralyzed by anxiety. Overthinking every choice until you can’t take any action. It’s gotten to the point where you just want to stay in bed, avoid everyone, and give up.

We think we have our life figured out and then boom, we have no idea what we are doing. Where we are going. Or why we are doing what we are doing. We feel lost and have no idea why. We start to question our decisions in life. And wonder, is this it? Is there more? There has to be more. It does not matter if you are 16, 25, 45 or 65. At some point, we ask ourselves what is the meaning of my life. How do I figure that out?

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
