Child Therapists in Manhattan, KS

I work one-on-one with individuals from childhood through adulthood who need support in all areas of their life such as anxiety, depression, behavioral/emotional management, school-related concerns, relationship issues, life stresses, and adjustments in different stages of life.

My speciality is helping adults move past painful experiences, and helping couples improve their levels of communication, trust, and intimacy.

I focus on trauma initially because what I have found in over 6 years of work as a trauma therapist, is that so much of our present concerns and limitations is rooted in trauma exposure and history. This lends itself to unhealthy patterns of avoidance, hypervigilance/hyperarousal, disturbance in mood and cognitions. and being inundated with intrusions and flashbacks. Many patients that have struggled with years with anxiety and or depressive episodes really have suffered from trauma that has not yet been dealt with. T Fields Trauma Therapy is for you if this describes you!

“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!”

Not all clients arrive to therapy with the same issues or the same rooting point, so therapy needs to be unique to each individual. I provide a space to establish how clients see therapy happening and I am there to help guide the process in a healthy manner. The space belongs to the client, not me.

Are you stressed out or anxious? Does it feel like you can’t get started again? Are you struggling with finding yourself again? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here. I know seeking help can be challenging. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety & depression, trauma, or adjustment, you must know you don’t have to be alone in this journey. I have the experience to help you achieve your goals, overcome these struggles, and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Hello! Welcome to my page and thank you for visiting. I work with individuals and couples. I help clients who suffer from depression all the way to helping victims of domestic violence. You can also catch me working in my local hospital as a medical social worker. I think people should feel relaxed, unjudge and have a safe place to be vulnerable. I love making clients feel supported and understood while working to help them make changes.

My focus is to provide a safe place or healing and discovery. Often our instincts tell us there is something off in our lives or that there is more to life, even if we function well in many areas. A few things that can block our lives can be childhood traumas, , sexual or physical abuse, gender issues, or any life disruptions, losses or challenges.

I will work with you as an individual/couple/family by assessing what is most important to you in achieving a positive outcome that you decide you would like to achieve. I have been in private practice since 1993 completing post graduate work at Menninger Foundation. I am a Certified Master Practitioner and Trainer of NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis, both which facilitate change as defined by the client with issues such as PTSD, stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, sexual dysfunction, unwanted addictive behaviors as well as behaviors that just aren't working for you. I work with individuals and couples.

I am deeply committed to each client achieving their optimum functioning. Across the range from disabled to the extremely high functioning executive, I ask that the client bring a commitment to growth, and I provide expertise in a range of specialties. I am best suited to treating the whole person.

I believe that good therapy is not merely reducing symptoms but helping you experience the “zest” of life. In other words, the main goal of therapy should be to help people thrive not just survive. Whether dealing with individuals, couples, families or groups, I integrate clinically effective treatment with a respectful, compassionate relational style. You might wonder, "What type of people do you work with clinically?" That's simple: I work with courageous people who want more out of life. For people with a Christian faith background, I have specialized training to help you integrate your faith with therapy, if you are interested.
