Therapists in Parsons, KS

Life can feel heavy, hard, confusing, isolating, and overwhelming. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Play Therapist I am passionate about helping Children, Parents, Families, and Adults work towards the positive change they want in their lives. Therapy is a beautiful and safe space where goals are set, skills are practiced, and emotions are supported. If you or your child is struggling with anger, emotion dysregulation, depression, anxiety, ADHD, aggressive behaviors, defiance, stress, tearfulness, or from a traumatic event please know you are not alone and I am here to provide support and guidance if you need it.

You’ve poured your heart and soul into creating a family, and your heart is breaking. Anger and defiance erupt when you want love and peace. If you are struggling in your family relationships, we can work together to help your family move from surviving to thriving.

Feeling comfortable and safe with a therapist is an important part of beginning the healing process. It can be difficult to find someone you trust during traumatic or uncertain times in your life. I have successfully treated couples, individuals, children, and families with a variety of presenting problems, and have also been trained in play therapy, sand tray therapy, EMDR, AUTPlay and Brain Gym. I utilize strength-based approaches and offer hope when hope is hard to find.

We don’t come into this world with a guidebook and at times our upbringing fails to equip us emotionally for the journey ahead. This combined with life stressors and lack of support can make it difficult to navigate challenges that come our way and can negatively impact our mental health. Our minds can feel like a runaway train, our bodies run on auto pilot and relationships are left strained. Depression and anxiety can set in, leaving us helpless and overwhelmed. Emotional injuries may show up as difficulty trusting others, expressing or regulating emotions, or solving problems.

Serving some of our communities for over 14 years! We accept almost ALL insurance and offer affordable sliding scale options! Our clinicians hold certifications and training in an array of therapeutic modalities, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma, EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), Brainspotting for trauma, DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Somatic Experiencing, and Play Therapy for Children, ensuring comprehensive care tailored to individual needs.

I found my passion working with kids with Autism, at all levels. I have worked at a PRTF for 6 years as a therapist.

You and those you love live in scary and uncertain times. You likely find yourself in a world you barely recognize, having to get by with more needs on fewer resources. We have all began to see the results of living under constant fight-or-flight stress while an entire world struggles to get by without needed coping skills, adequate financial resources, or knowing where to turn for guidance.

Starting therapy is one of the kindest things you can do for yourself. One of my greatest honors in life is being able to meet clients in the depths of their pain and to support them as they find healing. My clients are some of the bravest people I’ve ever met, and it’s been especially powerful to see them embrace love, forgiveness, and to be freed from shame. My heart is to work with those struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, and so much more. My approach is tailored to the needs of the client and I provide Faith-Based and Non Faith-Based therapy.

I became a therapist for one simple reason: I love people! For me, it is not a job, but a calling. Our mission as therapists/counselors/helpers and healers is to come along side those who have fallen, and help them up; to walk with them on their journey and hopefully assist them by giving insight and understanding of their pasts and presents which will provide them hope for their futures. It is my belief that therapy is a collaborative effort, where both my clients and I work together in forming realistic treatment plans, complete with attainable goals.
