Female Therapists in Gardner, KS

My ideal client is one who is motivated to work on things that will improve their life and hopes to explore the situations and stresses in life collaboratively. I like to focus on helping people grow through feeling understood and cared for as well as to understand themselves and their relationships more accurately. My experience includes work with a variety of different client experiences, including trauma, relationship struggles, family stress or disfunction, divorce and blended family issues, shared custody/visitation, parent-child relationship, child behavior issues, loss, traumatic injury, terminal illness, aging, and more.

The thoughts won’t stop, and the heaviness on your chest is a constant burden. All the while, it seems like loneliness and striving for an unreachable perfection have become your closest companions. The world starts painting a picture of what we “should” be at a young age. These standards are an ever-changing bullseye we anxiously strive to meet while carrying immense disappointment when unachieved. Ever been there? Me too. Maybe that’s where you find yourself today, and if so, I hope you continue reading.

Many of my clients come to therapy seeking support when they find themselves overwhelmed or feeling trapped. They express a desire for assistance in coping with issues like anxiety and chronic trauma, as well as cultivating healthier relationships. Each client and couple I work with brings their own unique narrative to the table. I place great importance on understanding how life experiences shape one's self-perception and relationships, and I am dedicated to guiding clients through the journey of personal growth and change.

My goal is to provide a calming, safe space for you to open up and process thoughts, emotions, and trauma. I want to empower you and help you recognize your worth.

I have experience working in community mental health with clients of all ages. I enjoy working with adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, grief, ADHD, self esteem, coping skills, stress management, attachment, and life transitions.

Accepting New Clients! Welcome to The Mental Hangover LLC, where the remedy is therapy. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my mission is to help foster healing in a safe, non judgmental way. I feel like that is achievable through self reflection, emotional connection and leaning into the challenges.

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health! Life can be stressful, unpredictable, chaotic, frustrating, and constantly throwing us curve balls. Sometimes we just need help processing our thoughts and feelings or making important life decisions. Other times, we may be struggling with mental illness, substance use, grief and loss, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, identity issues or other serious problems that are keeping us from living a happy and productive life. During these times, reaching out for help may feel scary or embarrassing.

Life can be overwhelming at times, leading to anyone becoming stuck. Stuck in relationships, stuck in day to day experiences, or even stuck wondering how it feels to be whole again. I believe there is hope in each individual that can be resurrected or revived through a healthy and compassionate therapeutic relationship, leading to one experiencing wholeness as they discover their strengths that help them to thrive. I strongly believe in providing empathic, safe, and non- judgmental space that allows individuals to process their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in the moment.
