Therapists in Lenexa, KS

Disordered eating, body acceptance issues, anxiety, worry, sadness, fear, anger, feelings of worthlessness or frustration with nowhere to turn. These kinds of issues and emotions can make you feel alone, overwhelmed, even flooded, stuck, making it hard to function or see a path to better days. Uncertainty about how to manage this surge of emotions can result in using coping strategies that only add to your struggles and may leave you feeling guilty, hopeless, isolated.

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health! Life can be stressful, unpredictable, chaotic, frustrating, and constantly throwing us curve balls. Sometimes we just need help processing our thoughts and feelings or making important life decisions. Other times, we may be struggling with mental illness, substance use, grief and loss, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, identity issues or other serious problems that are keeping us from living a happy and productive life. During these times, reaching out for help may feel scary or embarrassing.

Life is unexpected and sometimes we struggle with finding our path. My goal in therapy is to work with my clients on being comfortable with vulnerability. I believe that consciously choosing to not hide your emotions or desires from others is key to healing and growth. In therapy I learn about and help my clients use their unique strengths to help them resolve current conflicts. I am working on certification in perinatal care and menopause. My focus is primarily assisting women experiencing depression and anxiety, but I also take male clients.

Hi there! If you're new to therapy or if you're already well-versed in the therapy world, I'd love to be a part of your journey. I work primarily with pre-teens, teens, and adults. My therapeutic style is approachable and warm, and I consider it a privilege to be able to support clients at times of crises, challenge, or just growth in general. If you’re looking to work on trauma, current stressors, develop better coping skills, navigate relationships, or find ways to improve your overall mental health, we might be a good fit!

Life can be stressful and sometimes downright hard to handle. Disclosure to those that are closest to us may not always be the best solution or lead us to the mental and emotional relief we seek to achieve. Although loved ones mean well, sometimes it's in our best interests to seek the skills of a well qualified and trained professional, such as a mental health counselor/therapist, who can provide you with the empathy and the insight to get you back to the mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional restoration you so deserve.

You have noticed yourself feeling stressed, anxious, and depleted. You have felt this way for a while and are exhausted with these feelings. You haven't always felt like this, so why now? Relationships with others now feel a lot harder than they used to be. You have found yourself alone and in need of help.

Are you struggling with your self esteem? Do you doubt yourself? Do you feel anxious, trapped and "get in your head" a lot? Do you often feel sad or "blah." These feelings can seem overwhelming. The good news is you deserve to feel better and I can help you do this. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Iowa and Kansas. I'm also a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor.

Our clinicians guide you on a healing journey towards self discovery as you and your family learn to trust again. Tough life experiences have an effect on the absolute core of a person, and it is possible for anyone, of any age, to regain power within themselves and their circumstances. To rise from the ashes and release the burden of past hurts. To learn to trust not only themselves but the world around them once again.

Couples are my specialty and I believe that if you both want your relationship to be fulfilling, there are ways we can get you there. Even if you think it’s impossible, I have faith in you, and will carry that faith until you can believe in yourselves again. Even if you are recovering from an affair or other infidelity, I believe you can rebuild the relationship, and I will help. I have been a Licensed Family and Marriage therapist since 2013, with much of my experience coming as part of a group practice that specializes in the issues of couples.I get it, relationships are not easy.

Do you find that you regularly battle with your body and brain? Second guessing what to say, ashamed of your body, and judgmental of your thoughts? Do you utilize food to avoid emotionally or to force your body into a different look? Is trauma impacting your relationships? You are not alone. Health is not a static place to achieve that defines who you are as a person, rather it is a continuum we have that ebbs and flows as we engage in our lives. As we continue to strive for unachievable perfection, we end up with intrusive, ruminative negative thoughts and in a constant power struggle with our brain and body.

During our life journeys, we all experience stressful, painful, and unpredictable moments–so often putting us through trauma and changing the course of our lives. You may experience obstacles that interfere with your sense of peace and well-being. I hope you know you don’t have to go through any of life’s challenging moments alone, and I’d be honored to work through them with you.

Do you feel like you are stuck in survival mode, barely keeping your head above water? Are you overwhelmed with guilt and shame or perhaps can't shake the feeling like you aren't quite enough?

I also work with parents seeking help and guidance for their child that may be struggling with their mental health. Additionally, I have experience working with collegiate athletes and can offer services for any level of athlete looking for support in sport performance.
