Hi. How are you doing? Do you seem to be experiencing more bad days than good? Have you suffered a trauma, or significant loss in your life? Do you experience anger, anxiety, or depression that interferes in your daily activities? Are you just not happy with how things are going?

***NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME*** Do stress, anxiety, anger, or depression interfere with your quality of life? Is a life transition or situation overwhelming you? Do you struggle with negative body image, emotional eating, or an Eating Disorder? Therapy can help you through these difficult challenges. My goal is to provide a supportive, objective, and confidential environment that enables you to explore your thoughts and feelings. I can partner with you to create a positive change.

Are you consumed with worry about your child and family? Is your child acting out, anxious or depressed? I can provide a safe therapeutic space for your child to express themselves while learning how to manage their anger, anxiety, depression or other issues. I have 25+ years helping children throughout my career as an elementary teacher and high school counselor. Being a registered play therapist makes me uniquely qualified to help younger children ages 5-11 and adolescents ages 12-18.

The solutions to life's struggles are elusive, and hard times have a way of leaving us filled with doubt, confusion, and hopelessness. These are some of the building blocks of anxiety, depression, resentments, addictions, and strained relationships, among other conditions. It's normal and can even be helpful to experience some worry, sadness, and other forms of tension, however for many these emotions grow to levels where they are no longer useful. If this resonates with you, please take a moment to assure yourself that you do not have to take this on alone. A life that is more fulfilling and manageable is within your reach.

Everyone we encounter in our lives plays a part in our story. Each experience leads to decisions that develop who we are. Sometimes we come to an encounter or experience that we aren't sure how to interpret, or work through. When we experience mental health symptoms or life stress that impairs our functioning, it is important to seek, learn, and utilize skills to get back to functioning that helps us achieve our goals.

It’s hard to get out of bed each morning. There was a time when you were hopeful about life, but that seems like long ago. That was before all your troubles started. Now, every day feels more difficult than the last. Your kids treat you like their personal assistant. You just got in another fight with your husband, and you’re not even sure what it was about. You try to concentrate at work, but your mind is always racing, darting in countless different directions. In the rare instance that you’re able to carve aside a moment for yourself, you feel guilty about it. It’s getting to the point where you just want to run away and hide.

Now offering 3 free sessions to those impacted by the KC Chiefs Parade shooting and subsequent sessions at a reduced rate for those wanting to work on the trauma. TF-CBT, CPT I help those on their search for self exploration, and treating trauma. With EMDR you are in total control of reprocessing your traumatic/disturbing experience. You don’t even have to disclose about the event if you don’t want to. Taking the first step can be scary but therapy is a place of safety, a place to have your thoughts and feelings heard and validated. A place where you are in control of what you want the conversation to be and what direction you take.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, with a master's degree in Social Work from the University of Kansas.

You have so much going for you. You have a great group of friends, a spouse/partner that supports you, healthy children, and a job that you enjoy. But you can't help the feeling that something is missing. "Why don't I feel fulfilled?" "Why am I not happy?" "Am I missing something?" These are common issues many women face but feel they are struggling alone. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to feel fulfilled. Reconnect with the happy woman inside of you.

Therapy is a process that is often sought out during times of change, stress or transition. It can take courage to reach out to others. Thus, I feel it important to have a level of trust and comfort with your therapist. I greatly enjoy providing direction and insight to the clients I serve. I view my role as one that facilitates further introspection and growth. Every life event, those that are joyful, painful, or somewhere in between, can serve to shape us as an individual as we make choices for how we are going to respond.

Living with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues can be isolating and overwhelming. Sometimes it can even be difficult to know where to begin to make your life feel better. I help people figure out how to take action in their lives so that they can create a life of joy, purpose, and meaningful connections. I provide a compassionate, calm, and confidential space to help teens, adults, and families develop a plan that allows for growth and healing. The time to start feeling better is now!
