In Person Therapists in Geary County, KS

We all carry a lot inside that others may not realize. I have personally experienced the power and hope that comes from having someone to come alongside and listen. I provide a safe space for my clients to express emotions and words as they work out life's challenges. I approach therapy from an individual and whole-person approach, looking at health from an emotional, physical, spiritual, social, and mental perspective. My Christian faith has been an integral part of my own healing, and I enjoy helping clients integrate their spirituality into the therapeutic work, if desired.

Childhood, parenting, and balancing family life with careers and other obligations is hard! I love working with children, teens, and adults who want to explore and grow to overcome challenges and live their best lives.

I’m no different from the clients I see. Like everyone else, I'm human. I've been through both wonderful and difficult experiences that have shaped who I am and how I help. I've helped people let go of unhealthy thinking patterns or "sticky webs" they get caught up in, allowing a more authentic and present-moment experiencing of life, as it is, without self-judgement and radical acceptance and self-love. My clients discover it's possible to live life fearlessly, to stand true to core values, and act with conviction to be who you want to be and discover your full-potential.

I think all of us could use a little help at one time or another.

"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."
