Asking for help can be scary. You've already taken the first step. I aim to help you explore your own strengths and problem-solving strategies by serving as a compassionate, non-judgmental sounding board to help you explore things you would like to change. I am a neurodivergent therapist who understands mental health struggles from both a client and a provider perspective. Nurturing our mental health and wellbeing enables us to create the kind of life that is most meaningful to us. I want to be a stepping stone on that path for you.

We all manage these challenges in different ways, from controlling our food/body, perfectionism, avoidance and over functioning. These methods often leave us exhausted and overwhelmed. If this resonates with you I am here to help. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, self esteem/body image issues and trauma. I work with my clients to identify their own, unique value system which then serves as a guide post through life. By aligning with our values, we create space to accept the difficulties of life and lead a life you desire.

I have specialized in working with different ages over the past almost 3 decades and now get to work with them ALL. I creatively engage children/adolescents with interventions tailored to individual needs. I equip & support my clients' parents/guardians from a parent and clinician perspective. My favorite job of all time was directing a college counseling center as young adulthood is an ideal time for intervention to build resiliency and equip for the future. I want to meet adult clients in the midst of their challenges, crises, mental health struggles, and just plain life.

I have worked in the Lawrence community providing mental health services for more than 15 years. I primarily work with adolescents and adults. Therapy is a process of identifying and initiating small shifts in thought, feelings and behaviors that lead to healthier patterns of living with ourselves and others. I work with individuals and families to identify a path to improving your quality of life, relationships, and functioning. I have extensive experience treating ADHD, depression, anxiety, working through co-parenting, high conflict divorce, family conflicts, and supporting the transition to work, college, and life after college.

She believes that the duality that has historically existed in the substance abuse/addiction field and the broader mental health field impedes client outcomes. She aids clients in gaining insight into the function of addiction in their lives, enhancing distress tolerance, and developing adaptive coping mechanisms.

Do you feel stuck? Unable to make decisions due to feeling overwhelmed? I get it. I too have felt this way. I know that sinking feeling of learning you have a chronic illness and will daily feel the pain, fatigue, and fear of "what's next?" Even worse, feeling that you have lost who you are and who you thought you always would be. It's enough to make even the strongest person feel like giving up. BUT...as someone who has personally fought this battle, I promise you that life can get better, in fact it can be great!

“People start to heal the moment they feel heard”. Research shows that a primary factor in determining success of therapy is the therapeutic alliance; I fully believe in the healing power of simply feeling seen and heard. Before any modalities or interventions are successful, we must first feel aligned with, safe and trust the therapist we are working with.
