Therapists in Fort Riley, KS

Licensed therapist in Alabama, Kansas, and Texas bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to assist individuals on their mental health journey. With a deep understanding of life's challenges, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapy that nurtures overall well-being. My counseling style is warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental. I believe in creating a safe and supportive space where clients can freely share their concerns, while incorporating humor to foster a welcoming and comfortable environment. Together, we can work towards positive growth and healing.

I utilize an integrative approach to therapy. My primary treatment approach is client centered therapy which allow me to follow my clients lead in session. This approach also assists clients with self-actualization and growth. One of the most important primary needs of individuals is to have secure emotional attachments. Therefore, I utilize a systems approach and attachment processes in my work with couples and families. I have a special interest in working with veterans and active duty military couples and families.

"Everyone faces struggles at some point in life, and it is courage which allows us to seek help during those times. Common issues such as depression, anxiety, relational conflict, behavioral and emotional problems, and difficulty adjusting to life transitions can all be very oppressive, yet we can often work toward more helpful ways to manage these challenges. Asking for help can be hard, and it is usually the hard things that are worth doing."

My experience and educational background are directly related and have provided me with a well-rounded background in Therapy. I am a Military veteran with 30 plus years of experience working with patients in psychiatric hospitals, state mental health facilities, Illinois Department of Corrections, and in private practice. I am currently licensed to practice in Illinois, Kansas and Georgia. I also provide Tele-health service to Military members overseas (OCONUS).

Accepting new clients! Does your life feel like the “This is fine” meme? You're just trying to get through your day, enjoy your coffee, but it seems like everything around you is on fire! Maybe you also feel on fire but you just try to ignore it and get done what needs to be done... But it's not working... You find yourself drowning in the day to day trying to take care of everything and everyone else and you're tired and overwhelmed. It's not clear if you're impacted most by your current stress or if maybe you are suffering because there's something from your past that just seems to keep coming up.

“I believe everyone deserves a chance; a chance at happiness, a chance at love, a chance at life, any CHANCE! I find extreme purpose as I assist individuals to find what satisfies them as well as presented barriers, restrictions, and issues faced in their journey. I strive to support them in finding peace and finding their own purpose.” My personal choices have lead me towards a career of advocacy and service on behalf of the abused, neglected and traumatized due to family violence and sexual assault. “Whatever issue you may be facing, you do not have to do so alone. Allow me to join you on the journey to find the Greater in YOU!”

I enjoy helping individuals (14+), couples, families and groups discover their strengths and address the deep sources of their struggles so they can reach the full potential they deserve. I open the door to therapy with a simple, yet powerful message: "Where you are isn't where you have to stay!"
