Teletherapy for Manhattan, KS

Are you seeking help for a child with emotional or behavioral issues? Is your child anxious or stressed? If so, please give me a call. Your child is unique and deserves the chance to reach their full potential. Behavior issues, trouble adjusting to divorce, parent/child conflict, or a history of trauma and abuse can make life difficult for kids. I specialize in working with children ages 11 and younger, personalizing treatment to each child's unique needs. When treating a child, I always work with parents or guardians, as well, as this is the most effective way to help your child.

"Everyone faces struggles at some point in life, and it is courage which allows us to seek help during those times. Common issues such as depression, anxiety, relational conflict, behavioral and emotional problems, and difficulty adjusting to life transitions can all be very oppressive, yet we can often work toward more helpful ways to manage these challenges. Asking for help can be hard, and it is usually the hard things that are worth doing."

Hello! I am looking for clients who need thier children independently educationally evaluated. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, as well as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist. I have worked as a special education teacher, a school psychologist, & a professional counselor over the duration of the past 2 decades. I believe in completing quality evaluations to assist parents in advocating for their children, to assist school teams in understanding service & instructional needs, & to do so in a convenient & affordable format. My services are mobile, serving most areas in Kansas.

Every child's emotional development takes time, nurture, and guidance from loving adults in their life. I am excited to offer therapy for children and families in the greater Manhattan area. Since 2015, I have provided treatment for children experiencing behavioral and mental health symptoms who may have experienced life changes and trauma. In this environment, we will work together through therapeutic art, sand tray and play therapy. I will personalize treatment to you and your child's individual needs. Although I am open to working with all ages, my expertise is working with children, ages 0-14.

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.

I have experience working with a variety of struggles such as trauma and abuse, anxiety, adjustment/transitions in life, attachment between child and parent(s), infertility/women’s difficulties, depression and relational difficulties within families and/or couples. I am honored when I am chosen to help you and or your family collaborate on goals and working on ways of overcoming these difficult events/situations.

I offer diagnostic assessment services for persons of all ages, with an emphasis on developmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and learning disorders. I also offer empirically supported cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) for a variety of psychological difficulties. For adult clients I offer prolonged exposure therapy for PTSD and CBT for pain management. For children and youth I offer CBT for a wide range of mental health and behavioral problems.
