Hello! I am a Licensed Psychologist practicing at Stonestreet & Associates in Topeka, KS. I earned my Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology and have experience working with a diverse set of individuals and problems including anxiety, panic, OCD, mood disorders, thought disorders, life adjustment difficulties, and relationship issues. Therapy is typically not a quick fix, so I gravitate toward working with individuals who are motivated to be active participants in the therapy process to learn skills that create lasting change.

Anxiety & OCD take many forms. A fear of contamination, discomfort when something is out of order, distress that you might act on a harming/sexual thought, fear that you are a bad person or will be punished by a higher being, blasphemous thoughts that shake your faith, or fears you are responsible for something bad happening. Anxiety can look like worries about the future, fear of embarrassment, health anxiety, panic attacks, hair pulling and skin picking, or wondering if you're good enough. If any of this sounds familiar, my practice may be a good fit for you, as I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders, OCD, and BFRBs.

Jennifer Betts said, "While some climb mountains, others are carrying them." You are struggling, in pain, suffering & yet don't feel like you can find a way out or forward. Perhaps you've lost someone or something that was important to you. Maybe the weight of traumas, physical or emotional wounds, betrayals, or feelings of inadequacy & worthlessness are pulling you under despite all your efforts to be strong & hold on. You may not even be able to pinpoint what exactly you are feeling or why because everything is so jumbled and intertwined that sorting it out feels like a Herculean task. And, sometimes, life is just really hard.
