Teletherapy for Kansas

I enjoy walking alongside client systems to aide them in reaching their chosen goals. I operate under the belief that therapy is helpful to challenge our current belief systems, and often narrating our story for another to hear can be challenging. I hope to provide a safe space to navigate the mysteries and beauties of life. I work best with individuals 16+ and those who can build insight into their internal experiences in order to gain control of their story.

I treat people who suffer from panic disorders (and many other problems) with cognitive-behavioral therapy. I've studied 6 years of CBT at the Menninger Foundation and I have also studied at the Beck Institute in Philadelphia. Panic is basically a "false alarm". Panic happens when a person's body is producing powerful fight or flight chemicals at the wrong time. The body responds as if there is an emergency when there is no physical threat. The intense changes in heart rate and breathing etc. become subject to catastrophic misinterpretations, like "I'm dying" or "I'm losing control". These scary thoughts produce even more chemicals.

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 stressed, showing up to places nervous, exhausted, and uncertain of what to do next. Together, we will 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.

There is no problem too big or too small to address. My main goal as a therapist is to meet the client where they are at and create a safe environment for growing, feeling heard, and learning. Coming from a non judgmental and supportive stance I serve individuals of all backgrounds.

Life can be full of joy but can also be lonely and deeply painful. Your personal life may feel unbalanced or your relationships seem stuck. I think it is very courageous to seek health and healing from hurt, internal strife or relational trauma. Relationships cause tremendous pain but can also be the source of magnificent healing. Oftentimes a comfortable, inviting space where you can safely explore who you are at your core is just what you need to begin flourishing and thriving. That same space can be precisely the respite your relationships need.

High-achievers specialist. Befriending discomfort is where healing & growth begin. Are you currently thriving? Therapy should be as individualized as you are. In addition to clinical work; teaching the next generation of therapists & studying to complete a PhD in Couples & Family Therapy. This experience & doctorate education offer my clients the latest evidence-based practices. My specialty aligns with motivated couples & adults seeking more peace. We will work as a team to train & reframe patterns. My priority is for you to leave sessions feeling aligned, validated, more aware, empowered & ready to immerse into impactful changes.

Many people struggle with grief, their career, family, or trying to quit a habit and don’t know where to start. Talking to me, a professional counselor, can help you finally feel like yourself again. You may need someone to talk to because you need more self understanding or personal growth and you feel stuck. It is common to feel stuck in life, and finding your way through this stuck moment alone makes it difficult. I would love to help you problem solve or process through the difficult feelings you are having about your loss, job, relationship issues, or trouble kicking that habit. I believe in your potential to change.

I believe everyone alive deserves to have the best possible life. All of us suffer from the trial and tribulations of life, some of which we bring on ourselves, and some are consequences of others behaviors. All of us learn important lessons from life, and I believe that psychotherapy helps people to gain significant insight and awareness on the most important dimensions of their mental functioning. Many of us suffer alone in the depths of loneliness and despair. It is my mission to help and guide others with knowledge, and encouragement to confront their situations, and problems. I

Living to your fullest potential will take courage, but it can be fun. If you work better with your hands or want to get back into your body and on your feet, take some time to focus on and leave behind negative thoughts. You will find this is a safe place to use as a springboard for setting a more positive tone in your life. You may even connect with others who are lifetime learners. Flourishing doesn't happen alone. It doesn't take a hammer to bloom.

Teletherapy Only. Evening and Weekend Availability. I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families. I see clients from ages twelve to adult.

I have completed PSI Perinatal Mental Health 2-Day Certificate Course and Perinatal Mental Health Advanced Psychotherapy Training.

Check out our website for more details! I became a therapist because of a void that has existed for decades. A void that allowed black and brown people to be left to find sometimes inadequate ways of dealing with real mental health issues. As you search you will find very few people that look like me that are in profession of mental health. This is unfortunate. Although my caseload is hugely diverse, what comforts my clients is I represent what in my field is lacking...a representative from a disenfranchised group of people helping to build up the individual, repairing relationships and making families whole.

The tension in your chest is there again. You can hardly catch your breath. So much to do! Your mind is racing and you feel like you are drowning. Even the smallest things are irritating. You just screamed at your son for spilling a drink, and now feel terrible about it. You missed another assignment at work because you’re so distracted. Confidence is at an all-time low. “I can’t do anything right,” you tell yourself. You know something needs to change, but you’re paralyzed by anxiety. Overthinking every choice until you can’t take any action. It’s gotten to the point where you just want to stay in bed, avoid everyone, and give up.

Trauma and anxiety can impact every aspect of a man's life. Maybe your flashbacks and nightmares make it hard to show up for your family, or maybe you can't stop your thoughts long enough to concentrate at work. Maybe what happened to you makes you feel like less of a man, even though you know that it wasn't your fault. No matter how hard you try, it seems like you can't live up to the expecations you have for yourself.

Most of my clients come to me because they’re struggling with their sex life and they’re pretty sure it’s all their fault. They’re not having the kind of sex that they want or sex has just become an enormous problem in their relationship. I often find that at the root of these issues surrounding sexuality is shame. Sometimes that shame is connected to: poor self-esteem or body image, believing you don’t deserve sexual pleasure, a belief that whatever you’re into is just too "weird" and you want to feel “normal” but can’t shake this particular desire, or societal & cultural expectations of gender roles.

I have a passion for healing trauma of all kinds and in helping people build awareness of how their bodies hold that trauma. I have a strong passion for helping people who struggle with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, or have a generally tumultuous relationship with food, movement, and their body. Issues that may result from trauma that I treat include eating disorders, depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, and bipolar disorder, to name a few.

Mija, no matter what others tell you, you are enough. Maybe you don't believe this yet, but by the time you walk out of your last therapy session, you will have acquired the necessary tools and experiences to believe this is true. Reaching out for help isn’t easy, te entiendo. As an immigrant woman myself, I’ve seen the pressure we feel to succeed for our families, the fear of vulnerability, the feeling that we live in two worlds, or the difficulty of putting our emotions into words without feeling like a burden or a failure.
