Therapists Beginning With B in Kansas

Do you know how to take care of everyone else, but can't seem to figure out your own shit? Maybe you feel guilty for wanting more. Don't you already have the job, the partner, maybe kids? Even still, the edges are starting to fray and you don't feel connected to yourself and others in the ways you want. The self-help books, podcasts, and the mindfulness apps kind of helped, but there is still something missing. Maybe you've tried therapy before, but it didn't go deep enough. That might have left you with a feeling that maybe you were right, and you are just too much.

Life can be complicated, messy and hard sometimes. When you encounter those times in your life do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious, angry, sad or depressed? I want to help you or your loved ones navigate through those times. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents and adults learn to cope with the challenges they are facing. I will walk with you as you find your way through grief, loss, school challenges, relationship troubles, anxiety and depression.

I am a Licensed Masters Level Social Worker (LMSW), who works specifically with adolescents over the age of 11, and adults. I use a variety of therapeutic methods, depending most importantly, on the needs of each client. Using a strengths and mindfulness based approach to psychotherapy, I draw upon my knowledge of, and training in, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to help clients reach their goals.

I believe that everyone has the ability to change, to grow, to learn, and to feel better. I know how hard it can be to seek therapy services and I want to help you navigate this step so that you can feel healthier and happier. If you are seeking help with making life changes, learning how to more effectively cope with mental health, relationship struggles, trauma(s), substances, your self worth, managing life adjustments, or letting go of the past I can help you.

I am a relationship specialist. If you are experiencing relational distress in your marriage or civil union, I can help. If you are having trouble communicating or your life goals seem not to align anymore with your partner, I can help. If you are at your wits end and all of your attempts to address your situation have failed, then give me a call. You don't have to live in anger, distrust, anxiety, or hopelessness. Happiness and satisfaction in your relationship can be yours.

Change is possible. Just because you've done the same thing over and over, doesn't mean today can't be different. Most of us know what change that we'd like to make. However, our instincts are to cling to what gets us through the day and avoid meaningful change. The good news is that we can learn to act effectively to welcome change instead of push it away. At times, we need help to face the places where we need to improve. Positive change does not happen overnight. My goal is to find what what works. I focus on evidence-based and practical strategies to help my clients improve their lives and emotional well-being.

I specialize in the treatment of complex trauma, in particular with clients navigating mid-life transitions and relationship dissatisfaction.

If you need relief from depression or anxiety, assistance in handling life's challenges, acceptance and support, or just a place to cultivate hope, I believe I can help. Life has its ups and downs, and everyone experiences difficult days. Sometimes things become overwhelming, and that is when seeking therapy may be the best choice. I have seen the power of therapy in promoting healing and building resilience. I value authenticity, which I bring to my practice, along with a caring, connected, and collaborative approach to helping you reach your goals.

Is a lot of your self talk focused on self loathing, shame, or perceived failings in your life? Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or anxious more often than not? Taking the time and effort to look at what is working and what isn’t working in your own life is a brave step toward feeling better in your own skin. Often our work together will look a lot like taking steps (some minuscule, some monumental, all equally as needed and pivotal) toward yourself and the ways you can become more fully you. Through that greater understanding (and ultimate acceptance) of self, you can find a quieter, kinder inner voice.

Are you a struggling biological, adoptive, or foster parent? Do you have a biological, adopted, or foster child or adolescent in your home struggling with their emotions and/or behaviors? Are you or others in your home having difficulty connecting/attaching with people and building strong relationships? Are you or others in your home coping with life's complications in ways that are unhealthy or causing more problems? Have you or others in your home experienced trauma? Would you like help in working through these challenges, creating stronger relationships, and finding positive methods to manage and eliminate your suffering?

Almost all of us have had adverse experiences or trauma in our lives that shape how we live and interact with others.  Regardless of your trauma or experiences, we will help guide you through healing.  We will not pretend to know more about your life than you, judge you for who you are or determine what healing means for you.   Although your reasons for seeking therapy are serious, our goal is for you to feel comfortable and at ease during sessions. We believe passionately that everyone deserves healing. We are LGBTQIA+ affirmative and actively anti-racist therapists. Our entire office is focused on creating a safe space.

There is so much joy, love, and abundance waiting for you. Are you ready to receive it? I work with teens and adults who are yearning for big changes in their life but need some extra support in getting there. I specialize in clearing the road blocks to your highest potential including past traumas, self-limiting beliefs, constricting emotions, and behaviors that are out of alignment with your soul's purpose. I work best with clients who are willing to dive deep to find the treasures within.

Throughout our lives, we've learned various ways to feel better or ease our pain. Whether it's relying on harmful habits like self-harm or substance use, or escaping reality through distractions, we may find ourselves stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. If this sounds like you, I'm here to assist you in relearning healthier coping mechanisms. Whether your pain stems from childhood trauma, biological factors, developmental challenges, dual diagnoses, or relational issues, I want to help you navigate your present in a safe way without feeling overwhelmed by the past, and guide you towards a brighter future.

NOT currently accepting new clients. Welcome, I’m so glad you found my page! Whether life is difficult for you right now or going fairly smoothly, therapy can offer you additional support, insight, and coping strategies. Perhaps you have previously sought out therapy or this is your first time, either way you are taking an important step in self-care. A little about me,…I am a LSCSW in Kansas and a LCSW in Missouri.

Here you are, looking for some help-so well done, you! Sometimes part of us wants help and another part wants to "do it on our own". Therefore, it is understandable that it might be no small task to make that first call. AND since sorting thoughts, feelings, and worries can feel overwhelming, I appreciate your courage and wisdom in seeking professional assistance, because no one has to do this alone. Getting to "better" is often very collaborative. Together, we can find a healthy and safe way to discover, sort and map the confusion/worry and then move forward. When you are ready, please give me a call. I am right here.
