I am a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist in Lawrence, Kansas, committed to helping people move beyond cycles of avoidance and perfectionism. My goal is to support you in building flexibility, deepening self-awareness, and creating a more intentional, meaningful life. I draw on evidence-based therapies including CBT, IPT, DBT, and provide comprehensive Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), offering skills groups and coaching. I also provide psychological assessments such as ADHD evaluations and readiness screenings for life changing surgeries. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you, as you are, with compassion and care.
Comprehensive Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) includes weekly individual therapy sessions and group skills training sessions. RO DBT targets overcontrolled coping in five general categories: inhibited emotional expression; overly cautious behavior; rigid and rule-governed behavior; distant style of relating: and high social comparison.
