Winner! BEST Mental Health Provider Johnson County 2025. Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
I worked with clients ages 15+ who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and anger related to academic/work stress, family issues, and life transitions. I also specialize in maternal mental health. I help women in any stage of pregnancy or postpartum gain clarity around their mental health so they can transition between roles with confidence!
Reaching out for help is the most important part of this journey. Take the leap today and contact me. I promise you an accepting, warm, and comforting environment in which to explore your struggles and find your strengths!

I work with clients experiencing symptoms related to perinatal and postpartum mental health, including pregnancy loss, pregnancy/delivery trauma, and postpartum transition struggles with mood and identity. Early sessions focus on support and communication. Most of my clients see improvement in symptoms in the first month with sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
