Therapists in Wichita, KS

I believe in trying differently, rather than harder. Parenting children who have experienced trauma(s) and/or prenatal alcohol exposure can be difficult, overwhelming, and frustrating. These children can struggle with healthy attachment, viewing every person and situation through a "survival' lens of distrust, often engaging in undesirable behavior to try to establish feeling in control, safe, and connected. They may struggle with processing and verbalizing or emotional regulation. Parents may struggle with regulation and connection in the face of challenging behavior. Children do well when they have the necessary skills to do so.

If you are struggling from anxiety, depression or having difficulty making changes with unhealthy lifestyles choices that effect your health and wellbeing I can provide individual counseling support. If you need skills in effective communication or conflict management in your relationships, I can provide couple or family counseling. My hope is that together we can soon improve your quality of life. I have been trained in several evidence-based counseling therapies and can offer the optimal counseling based on the needs of the individual, couple, or family.

Are you finding parenting an overwhelming challenge? Are you constantly fighting to get your child to listen or follow directions?

You can improve these everyday challenges and struggles by getting your child the help they need. So take the first step to making both of your lives easier by calling me at 316-706-3642.

"People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, 'Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.' I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds." -Carl R. Rogers. I appreciate the intrinsic value of every person's journey. As your therapist, I place high value on creating a non-judgmental, safe haven that allows for each individual to address life's challenges and to achieve personal growth.

Everyone has various challenges and goals that bring them to therapy and my goal as a therapist is to process both of these with you. I take note the privilege I receive in hearing your story and seek to validate your experience and help you take charge over your present and future self and abilities in a judgement free manner. I describe my therapy style as eclectic, as I draw aspects from multiple approaches. Some of these you will see to the side, such as EMDR. I have experience working with the Kansas foster care system, domestic violence shelters, and veterans and first responders in a private practice setting.

Your head hits the pillow and the inner critic starts nagging – today was another failure. People think you have it all together, but they have no idea how much you struggle. Feeling exhausted and ashamed, your self-esteem sinks lower by the day. People depend on you to lead with competence and clarity in every area of your life. What if everyone eventually figures out that you’re an impostor? Your career success seems fragile, and feelings of being overwhelmed haunt you throughout the day. You feel disconnected and isolated from family and friends but have no clue how to repair those relationships.

Going through tough experiences is hard enough. Going through tough experiences while feeling alone and unconnected can be even more daunting. I take a person focused approach to therapy in which I will walk with you and your child through your journey. I integrate play with the therapeutic alliance while treating several disorders including depression and anxiety, and trauma related disorders. Walk through this tough journey with someone on your team.

The journey toward and through parenthood does not always go as planned. Some people struggle with infertility and face heartbreaking disappointment each month that goes by with yet another negative pregnancy test. Others experience pregnancy or infant loss and grapple with unbearable grief. For others, a new baby brings with it a sense of overwhelming anxiety and depression that feels impossible to manage. Whatever it is that you are struggling with, know that you are not alone. I know firsthand how difficult the path to parenthood can be and want to assure you that healing is possible, no matter how much you are hurting right now.

My goal is to build relationships with my clients and help them navigate their lives in meaningful ways.
