Therapists in Lawrence, KS

Life can be a wonderful experience though it is guaranteed to be filled with challenges. We all manage these challenges in different ways, from controlling our food/body, perfectionism, avoidance and over functioning. These methods often leave us exhausted and overwhelmed. If this resonates with you I am here to help. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, self esteem/body image issues and trauma. I work with my clients to identify their own, unique value system which then serves as a guide post through life. By aligning with our values, we create space to accept the difficulties of life and lead a life you desire.

Currently accepting new clients. Are you looking for help with persistent or acute discomforts or yearnings? Are they negatively affecting you in your progress in life? I can help you gain clarity, competence, and confidence in your processes for easing burdens, healing, and making meaningful changes both now and for your life ahead. I find that most people benefit from therapy for discerning and strengthening to meet what is given. There are effective ways to attend, that need not overwhelm.

I am a dedicated and compassionate social worker therapist with expertise in helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. I provide therapeutic interventions and support for teens and adults facing various challenges such as anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship issues, and navigating life transitions. I also work with couples and families to help facilitate positive communication and understanding and work with individuals grappling with substance abuse, incorporating spiritual principles found in the 12-step program, including honesty, open-mindedness, compassion, and service.

To be human is to...struggle! I have the utmost respect for anyone who has the courage to look at themselves and realize change is needed. That is half the battle and I like to think of the therapy relationship as a team effort that helps you move forward to your goals. I am dedicated to helping people move out of their ruts and see that there is a more satisfying way to live. Individual(adult and adolescent), couple counseling and family therapy are all within my specialty areas with focus on interpersonal r-ships, CBT and mindfulness techniques.

I work with adults and adolescents who have found themselves overwhelmed with anxiety, depression, and/or the complex stress of surviving trauma and loss. I find that when individuals are given the space to be open and honest about their experience with no judgement, they are better able to draw on their own strengths and skills to begin healing. I also offer psychoeducation and cognitive skills to empower clients with a better understanding of how to influence their mental/emotional health to achieve increased functioning and well-being.

I work with clients 18 to 100 who are struggling with issues from career change, loss of loved ones, disease process, and end of life fears. I am a certified CBT therapist committed to helping you make changes in your mood and quality of life in a timely manner. My focus is on improving your well being and satisfaction with life despite the obstacles it presents to you. Therapy, in most cases need not be a very lengthy process. I want to help you to help yourself so that you can get back to life rather than spending time in therapy. I welcome your call and look forward to working together. Please call for a free consultation.

You are the expert in your life, and I believe my role as a therapist is to create a space for you to find your path to wellness, balance, and healing. I work with people of all life stages and all life challenges towards positive change and improving their quality of life. I offer an opportunity for you to be heard, free from judgment and opinions. People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. No matter the symptoms or challenges, I am here to empower, motivate, and support you and your loved ones.

Are you curious and willing to shift into a better space? I have successfully helped people find ways to stay present; manage or vacate difficult relationships; regulate challenging emotions; survive spiritual trauma and have helped people find ways to manage unexpected stressors. I am all about helping people find and implement their next best move to find peace and contentment.

Life’s challenges often feel overwhelming and prevent us from focusing on the areas of life that we value most. Feelings of worry, fatigue, and emotional disconnection can take the place of joy and meaning. In therapy you can expect to better understand the emotional challenges that keep you stuck, and collaborate on a personalized plan for addressing these challenges. We will carefully consider the strengths and abilities that have allowed you to persevere through difficult times in the past, and work to optimize how these strengths can help you move forward.

I am a clinical psychologist with post doctoral training from Stanford/UCSF and the Menninger Clinic. I have been licensed as a psychologist for 23 years and my training prior to being licensed spanned 10 years. As a therapist I offer an increased sense of safety and structure in reflecting on feelings. In this environment one relaxes and new perspectives emerge -as well as an increased ability to trust and find solutions within one's self. I am both a patient listener as well as an active and engaged clinician who offers personal insights and feedback.

Finding a therapist who is the right fit can be a daunting task. I have a versatile therapeutic approach that is strengths-based, empowerment-focused, and person-centered. I emphasize collaboration, choice, and readiness to change in my practice at Integrated Clinical Services (ICS). I strive to work with adults and adolescents in all stages of life, who are facing personal challenges, trauma (current, past, generational), everyday struggles, who want to know more about themselves, or those going through life transitions.

I’m a psychologist fueled by a deep sense of compassion and a desire to bring about real healing in the lives of my clients. Cultivating greater awareness in the mind, body, soul and spirit, I can guide you towards creating a more awakened and centered life. By learning how to reduce reactivity to events, situations and people, you can learn to respond consciously to the things you encounter and begin to create the life you want to live. This process can help move you away from reacting to life towards finding peace within yourself, and connecting more powerfully to your true life purpose.
