Female Therapists in Overland Park, KS

Are you struggling with the effects of stress, burnout, trauma, or recent life transition? I strive to provide a safe place for women to heal in the context of a caring, trusting therapeutic relationship. I work with a wide variety of individuals, including those struggling with the effects of motor vehicle accident, sexual assault, social rejection, attachment injuries, family of origin injuries, medical trauma, disturbing memories, phobias and more. I treat anxiety and depression. In addition, I enjoy working with college-aged and young adult women looking for support navigating stress, relationships, and boundaries.

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. My focus is primarily assisting women experiencing depression and anxiety, but I also take male clients.

Feeling paralyzed by overwhelming emotions, lack of direction, or lingering effects of past traumas? Are you looking for someone encouraging, warm, and committed to walking with you and helping you overcome what you are facing? Are you looking to find a therapist you can trust, feel safe being open, honest and 100% yourself? My approach is strength-based, client centered and believe we all have an immense transforming power within us.

I help entrepreneur leaders walk in purpose by establishing a strong foundation in Christ and focusing on personal improvement. If you are an ambitious woman of faith who has not released the hurt, guilt, or pain from life experiences or even past trauma. I can help you. If you are successful in your career, but stagnant in your personal life. I can help you. If you always put the needs of others in front of your own and it has left you feeling resentful and unworthy. I can help you. I have helped several women change their lives from gaining vision clarity, maintaining work/life balance, and incorporating spiritual growth.

NOW ACCepting new client! I'm wildly passionate about serving mamas in the perinatal time period. Many women go through very challenging and unique experiences during this time and I'm here to support them through this season. I believe wholeheartedly that women can grow THROUGH these experiences and come out thriving as strong AND happy mamas. I also love working with children aged 5-11. Besides working with children and focusing on maternal mental health, I have experience in and enjoy helping individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, ocd, life transitions, stress, and grief.

Are you struggling with who you are, your worthiness, shameful experiences and your right to live a joyful life?

Asking for help can be a difficult task that takes strength and courage; both of which you are capable of! Together, I hope that I can help to empower you to work through the trials and tribulations of life and begin to see the world in a new and vibrant light.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: Simply Be... Be sad, angry, overwhelmed, &/or confused, but also be willing to take the next step towards healing. I am broken from life's hardships AND I am restored from working through my own adversities. This means that I feel fully capable of being present for you, however that looks. I strive to provide a place that offers hope, healing, trust, and applicable tools that will equip you to work through the discomfort. My faith is a driving force in who I am as I trust it to create a reflective, affirming, and authentically real presence in every aspect of my life.

The journey through life can hold pain and sorrow, as well as joy and celebration. Maybe your journey has been filled with pain, or maybe it has been filled with joy. Either way, my hope is that through your therapeutic experience you find safety in whatever stage of life you are experiencing. My hope is that you would have a space to engage with your stories of pain and joy and find new perspective, deeper understanding, profound healing, and a felt sense of freedom. We were never meant to do life alone and I very much look forward to coming alongside of you.

Do you feel stuck trying to manage life at times? Has anxiety or depression taken over too much of your life? Life can be hard, I totally get it. But you don't have to go at it alone. I want to help you navigate this time to get you to a point where you are feeling your best. You can feel better and you deserve to feel better. If you are thinking about therapy that means you have enough self awareness to know you want to change. I know it is scary, but you can feel better. I believe in you and am rooting for you.

The thoughts won’t stop, and the heaviness on your chest is a constant burden. All the while, it seems like loneliness and striving for an unreachable perfection have become your closest companions. The world starts painting a picture of what we “should” be at a young age. These standards are an ever-changing bullseye we anxiously strive to meet while carrying immense disappointment when unachieved. Ever been there? Me too. Maybe that’s where you find yourself today, and if so, I hope you continue reading.

Effective counseling is based on the trust built between a client and therapist. Therefore, I strive to create a safe environment for clients to come explore, identify, and grow through their struggles. I am committed to walking alongside my clients through their journey of discovering the strength and courage already within themselves to overcome any obstacle they may be facing. I believe clients are the experts on themselves, and I am here to learn about you and aid you in identifying that which you may currently be unable to see. Let's take action!

I specialize in women 's issues! As a woman , demands placed on you by family, friends, colleagues, employers - and yes, by yourself too - can create challenges in your everyday life. Low self-esteem...feeling that you're lost...or that you'll never be good enough...people-pleasing...feelings of rejection or abandonment...all these issues can eat away at your confidence. It can seem impossible to navigate through them especially when you feel you have no support. It doesn't have to be this way. With the loving support of a compassionate therapist, you can recapture a sense of hope and optimism in your life.

The women I work with want to find healing from emotional, physical, and spiritual traumas. Clients that come to me want relief from anxiety, fear, intrusive thoughts, intense anger, overwhelming sadness, and feelings of worthlessness. Many clients I see have experienced abandonment, rejection, painful relationships, and various forms of abuse. The women I work with are determined to find adaptive solutions to the areas they feel most stuck.

If you find yourself worrying, feeling stressed, having trouble sleeping, feeling jittery, and not being able to relax, I get it! It can be frustrating to do your best to take care of yourself and still feel like it's hard to enjoy life. If you find yourself falling into unhealthy habits, like emotional eating, to cope, it can feel like being stuck in an endless loop of being out of control. I know from personal experience how painful it can be, and the crushing guilt that can come with feeling disappointed in yourself. Thankfully, it's possible to get back to feeling satisfied, peaceful, and resilient.

Trying to keep it together can be exhausting when you feel your life is falling apart. You're likely feeling overwhelmed, questioning everything, and maybe not recognizing the person you've become. You’re trying your best, but you’re stressed, showing up to places nervous, exhausted, and/or uncertain of what to do next. Together, we will work to figure out the root of what's going on, discover your innate strengths, find your authentic voice, and develop coping skills so you can reconnect with yourself and those you care about.

Licensed in Kansas & North Carolina. My ideal clients are people who are wanting to address trauma caused by childhood parental abuse and neglect, feeling stuck in their emotions and life experiences, people who are used to taking care of others more than themselves, and those who are navigating life transition, grief, prolonged depression and sadness, white supremacy culture, body image, codependency, and anxiety. Whether you are new to therapy or in the search for someone new, I want to help you get to the root of what you are experiencing and become unstuck and unburdened so that you can live a life of ease, freedom, and clarity.
