I believe meaningful change begins with self-awareness, compassion, and connection. My approach to therapy is collaborative and individualized, helping clients identify and move beyond patterns that limit their growth and ability to live authentically.
I bring curiosity, warmth, and a holistic perspective to the therapeutic process, recognizing the connection between mind, body, and emotional well-being. Through compassionate exploration, somatic awareness, and intentional behavior change, I help clients deepen their understanding of themselves, heal longstanding wounds, and develop new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating.
My goal is to create a space where you feel supported and empowered to move toward greater authenticity, connection, and lasting change.
Training and Experience
I began my training as a marriage and family therapist in 2004 and adopted a systemic perspective, recognizing that behavior makes sense in context. Noticing patterns and becoming aware of our own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors helps us feel empowered to create change. I have been providing therapy to clients for 20 years and have worked with individuals, couples, and family systems. It is important to me to create a sense of safety within the therapeutic relationship while incorporating research-based interventions. Through the years, I have witnessed the value of somatic experiencing and incorporate this perspective when working with my patients.
I specialize in EMDR therapy, which I integrate into my practice at many levels. I have spent years as an EMDR consultant, helping other therapists incorporate this therapy into their practices. I am passionate about sharing the healing potential of EMDR therapy with others.
I provide psychological evaluations for those seeking diagnostic clarity and treatment recommendations. I am a Kansas state board-approved supervisor for LMLPs and LMFTs and enjoy providing supervision for those working toward clinical licensure.
