Many of the problems we endure , and even the solutions we reach for, are shaped by a self-image we may not fully recognize or understand. Often, people come to therapy feeling stuck, frustrated, anxious, disconnected, or caught in repeating patterns they cannot quite explain. My work is centered on helping clients uncover the unspoken beliefs, emotional wounds, and inner conflicts that may be getting in the way of living more freely and fully.

Licensed in Kansas & Ohio, I bring years of life experience & am trained in Gestalt techniques, EMDR, somatic psychotherapy, Grief Recovery Process, guided imagery, traditional talk therapy & Heart Centered Hypnotherapy.
Counseling is often thought of as something "weak people" turn to or something to use when you're "going crazy". In reality, counseling is a process that helps people deal with problems that occur with living our day-to-day lives. When life feels difficult or stressful, it often helps to talk with a person who listens well - to have a place where you can be heard and understood in a way that makes a difference. Counseling is that place; a collaborative process that can help you explore what's working well in your life and what you want to be different. With counseling, I want you to be able to live your most authentic life.

I am an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Complex Trauma and Dissociation Specialist (trained by Kathy Steele & Delores Mosquera), trained in Hypnotherapy, Trauma Focused CBT, Brainspotting and Meyers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Qualified.
My passion lies in working with adults and adolescents. My experience has been working on a variety of issues including trauma, personality d/o, self-exploration and understanding how our thinking affects our feelings and behavior. I enjoy assisting patients with identifying messages taken from life experiences that motivate our choices and behavior in order to give each individual a better understanding of self. It is this understanding that brings awareness of habituated behavior patterns, effective communication skills and balance in our daily lives. Skills that are useful to patients outside of the therapeutic setting.

I'm not your typical therapist. Why? Well, because I too am on this ADHD rollercoaster . Yup, that's right—I'm not just the guide; I'm on the ride with you! Sometimes, it's like juggling Jell-O, but I've learned to turn that chaos into my own kind of masterpiece. I'm all too familiar with those days when focus is just a mythical creature, and impulse control takes a vacation. But hey, isn't that the beauty of it? I've been there, and I'm still here, thriving. Navigating life with ADHD is like trying to play Jenga blindfolded. The struggles are real—procrastination, time blindness, the paralysis, and oh the (dis)organization!

Something inside you is waking up and wanting more. You may feel tired of holding everything together while quietly losing connection with yourself. Many of my clients are caregivers, helpers, therapists, or deeply sensitive people who have spent years reading the room, supporting others, and pushing through their own needs. So capable on the outside, yet exhausted within. They often arrive after talk therapy has helped, but are still longing for deeper change. Our work gently reconnects mind and body, helping you understand your patterns, restore nervous system balance, and rediscover a more grounded, authentic way of being.

How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy works by using guided hypnosis to help you reach a state of focus and concentration through mental imagery and soothing verbal repetition. The state is somewhat like being absorbed in a book, a movie, or your own thoughts. You are not under a therapist’s “control,” but they can help you relax and turn your attention inward to discover the resources to achieve behavior change or better manage psychological concerns. Therapy sessions may involve guiding you through recognizing a problem, releasing problematic thoughts about it, and considering and accepting more productive alternatives before returning to normal awareness. Hypnotherapy is typically used by a therapist along with traditional forms of talk therapy. Eventually, your therapist can help you learn hypnotherapy techniques yourself so you can establish a stronger sense of control on your own in stressful or challenging moments.
Is hypnotherapy the same as hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy, which is sometimes called hypnotic suggestion, is a therapeutic technique in which a therapist uses hypnosis to help patients. It is not the kind of hypnosis portrayed in stage shows, or in movies or on television. You will not be unconscious or asleep during hypnotherapy, you will not lose control of yourself, your thoughts, or your free will, and you will be able to fully recall your experience. And while you will hear your therapist’s suggestions, it is always up to you to decide whether to act on them. Hypnosis by a trained mental-health professional is not a form of mind control, which is impossible to achieve anyway.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
The most common challenge of hypnotherapy is that as many as one in four people cannot be hypnotized. Brain imaging has confirmed differences in patterns of brain connectivity between those who respond to hypnotism and those who do not. Other people who could potentially be hypnotized may not respond to the technique because of their skepticism or resistance to entering a hypnotic state. If a therapist’s “post-hypnotic suggestion” is effective, it’s because they are suggesting something you want to achieve.
Does hypnotherapy work?
Through hypnotherapy, you can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. Like other talk therapy techniques, when hypnotherapy succeeds, it’s a case of mind over matter. Effective hypnotherapy involves self-healing because you access resources you need to change inside of yourself and learn how to tap into them whenever you need. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective therapy for anxiety, phobias, stress, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, and undesirable behaviors like smoking. It can be used to help improve sleep or to address relationship challenges, and to aid with pain management, digestive disorders, skin conditions, and the gastrointestinal side effects of pregnancy or chemotherapy.
