I love making therapy a positive experience that leaves clients feeling happy and excited to come back the next week. My practice is focused on therapy with kids, teens, adults, and families. I use play therapy, Theraplay(tm), and Whole Brain Child interventions to reach kids and teens. I enjoy working with adults on determining what career path to take, how to adjust to college/full time employment, mid-life career issues, and stress management/mindfulness skills. Issues from Anxiety, ASD, and Depression often pop up at this time of life. I am here to help them navigate!

From a young age I have known that I wanted to be in a helping profession. I have long been fascinated by the power and mystery of the mind and its connection to our bodies. In college, I realized social work was the discipline for me and I avidly pursued a clinical track at the University of Kansas. I am particularly passionate about working with children of all ages and find immense joy in connecting younger ones via their language, which is play.

Do you ever wonder when the anxiety is going to stop? How to connect with your spouse? How to help your struggling teen? Therapy will ease the heaviness you have been carrying. I have worked with teens in a variety of settings for 10 years! I also work with parents, couples, and individuals in adulthood. I provide a safe space to dive into the difficulty you are experiencing, giving you a voice in the pacing and direction of your sessions. I set clear goals for you so that we both know when you are ready to “graduate” from sessions. I want my clients to feel confident as they step out of care. I look forward to hearing from you!

Welcome! I understand the courage it takes to reach out. I am the owner of InDwell, a mental health service for children, teens and adults. I am a licensed therapist, certified play therapist, and trained in EMDR. I spent 20 years working as a nurse providing me with an understanding of how our physical & mental health are intertwined. My approach addresses the whole person believing that wellness comes from harmonizing the mind, body and spirit. I offer a Christian perspective for those seeking it, while respecting the unique worldview and beliefs of each client.

I know you parents love your children with everything inside of you and it hurts to see them struggle. Are you and/or your child struggling with life transitions? Or maybe you are struggling to co-parent with your ex spouse. Sometimes teenagers are really struggling and need someone to talk to and navigate the challenges of growing up. Often parents need advice on how to talk to their children. Life brings on challenges and I am here to help!

Parenting a child with baffling and challenging behaviors can be lonely and isolating. When I adopted my own children, I just wanted to be a mom. I thought that love was enough. The reality is, these children have suffered enormous loss and trauma and often display challenging behaviors. I am blessed that I am able to walk alongside families on their path to healing and share what I have learned. I have been a pediatric critical care nurse for 19 years. I have spent my career helping children and their families during what was most likely one of the most challenging and stressful times in their lives.

Relationships in trouble, infidelity, affairs, broken promises, broken dreams, conflicts in families, abusive relationships, addictions, parent/child concerns, grief and loss: These and many other painful experiences are a part of the concerns I may address with you in the counseling setting. My focus will be how you may heal your relationship. As a Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist, I will work with you to identify the source of your pain, and lead you through a process of healing. Included in the counseling process will be hope, help and establishing a secure base for your life and a "new normal".

Have you ever found yourself wanting to be closer to someone, but pushing them away the moment they want more? Pursuing relationships where you are constantly the one reaching out? Parenting your child and getting so angry over something minor, that you feel irrational? You may have attachment issues or unresolved trauma. Trauma comes in all shapes & sizes: Sometimes it's an obvious life altering event or abuse. But often it's more subtle: the hurts we experience in life that create lasting effects on our self worth & relationships. Attachment is the therapy word for connection; it's the foundation for all of our relationships.

When the relationships in our lives don't seem to be functioning well, we can be left feeling anxious, depressed, unsatisfied, and lost. I provide a safe environment for you to process and discover the cycles that may be occurring in your relationships, and how you can make changes for more fulfilling ones. My counseling background includes working with adults who are dealing with marital/relationship conflict, parenting/co-parenting issues, divorce, sexuality, anxiety and depression. Also as a parent of a child on the Autism Spectrum, I am here to support other parents navigating the world of parenting a child on the spectrum.

It is my belief that seeking help is the first indication that you are motivated and ready to make changes in your life. My purpose here is to partner with you, while empowering you, as you move through the process of change. I will help you learn to think about and address your problems in a healthier manner. Sometimes it takes the help of a mental health professional to help you take an objective look at your circumstances and empower you so that you can take the first step necessary to make those changes.

What happened to you? What is your story? Are you looking for a space where you can freely express your feelings, thoughts, and experiences? Whether you are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, intrusive thoughts, parenting, divorce, life transitions, or you simply feel like you need to get something out of your system and need someone to talk to, my goal is to help you identify your strengths, learn to understand yourself, accept your limits, make effective decisions, and be persistent despite obstacles.
