ADHD Therapists in Derby, KS

I understand the importance of finding a well-matched therapist and recognize how difficult it can be to reach out for help. I offer a comfortable, safe, and non-judgmental environment for my clients. I consider each client as unique individuals who deserve respect and understanding. I believe my clients should have a voice in their treatment. I work alongside my clients to develop the most effective treatment for their situation. I am honored to work with clients to ease their distress and improve their quality of life.

Whether you are dealing with general life challenges or issues specifically related to being a woman, I can help. My goal is to help women become empowered. I believe we can change how we live by changing how we think. We can change our negative self-thoughts and unhealthy behaviors, learn how to express ourselves in an assertive way and set healthy boundaries, overcome trauma and move from surviving to thriving, change how we relate to others and improve our relationships, improve our body image, make healthy choices, learn how to manage/overcome anxiety or depression or anything else that is keeping us from reaching our potential.

Trusting your therapist is key to healing therapy. Building a strong, trusting, and supportive relationship with clients, creates the foundation for a successful intervention. I have experience with various presenting issues such as: infertility, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, depression, and adolescent issues. I work with couples through Prepare Enrich and Couples Communication. I am also EMDR certified, which helps to provide a trauma based therapy. I am passionate about learning of a client's story and providing the necessary tools, skills, and education to help the client overcome their struggles. I seek to help clients improve their quality of life.

I strive to be the most effective therapist I can be for my clients. For me, being effective means helping clients succeed in learning new skills, developing upon skills they already have, and reaching their goals. In other words, helping my clients get to a place where they don’t need my services anymore. Compassion for others and wanting to help people is what started me on the path to becoming a therapist, but seeing my clients grow stronger and succeed is what makes me want to come to work every day.

As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe space for my clients. My idea of therapy is to join my clients where they are and walk along with them and help find the path they are searching for. Change in our lives is a process but growth and healing can occur, although it's not always easy.

Women who have "lost" themselves due to community commitments, busyness of motherhood, career & marriage. Women who struggle with eating disorders, body image, self-love, depression, anxiety & autoimmune conditions. Women want to be accepted, to be empowered, to offer unconditional love to their family & loved ones, yet they must fill their own cup first & foremost, because we cannot "pour from an empty cup". I have an inexhaustible belief in the human spirit's ability to grow & change & that we are each able to awaken our truest & healthiest self. I provide an honest, kind ear & create safe container for healing.

Taking care of yourself is one of the most generous things you can do. I believe that through mindfulness, self care and wellness we are capable of developing healthy coping strategies to overcome life's challenges–at any age. There is hope. We are not our mistakes. Our ability to self-regulate has roots back to childhood. Through therapy, it is my goal to walk beside you as you explore those roots and make meaningful connections in the pursuit of healing. I bring heart and warmth to each session and create a non-judgemental environment to heal in.

Life often presents us with difficult challenges, and it's not uncommon to find yourself or someone you care about caught in the grip of a disheartening cycle. As a therapist, my mission is to accompany you on this journey, not to change your past, but to explore it with curiosity and gain insights into how it shapes your present. It's a journey where you can regain control over the narrative of your life, whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or low self-esteem. Are you ready to face these challenges with resilience and embrace a journey of self-discovery?

Accepting NEW Clients. “There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” - Dr. Seuss. No single therapy approach works for everyone, and I thrive on recognizing and celebrating the uniqueness of my clients. Utilizing a strengths-based approach, I empower individuals to use their notable attributes to make lasting positive changes. I welcome clients seeking help with, stress, relationship concerns, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and more.
