I am a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist in the state of Kansas. I provide psychological assessment services for children (6 and up), adolescents, and adults in the areas of neurodivergence (e.g. Autism, ADHD, intellectual disabilities), mood/anxiety disorders, and learning. Throughout my practice, I provide trauma-informed care and customize the evaluation process to meet the specific needs of my patients.

In doing so, we discuss not only the challenges you may experience, but also highlight your strengths and how your experiences make you who you are.

One of the purposes in life is to be happy and live a good life. However, daily living involves struggles and there are some difficulties and aspects of life that are inherently painful and hard to cope with. Psychotherapy is a useful way for many people to address and work on personal problems and, in so doing, create a better quality of living for themselves. I have great respect for clients who have the courage to face problems and I welcome you to call me to schedule an appointment.

Hello, I am a Licensed Masters Level Psychologist (LMLP), and I provide psychotherapy services to teens and adults who are looking to reduce anxiety, develop emotion regulation skills, and improve executive functioning skills.

I am especially passionate about providing services to neurodivergent individuals.

I believe change is constant and inevitable – how we adapt, cope, and manage these changes has a profound impact on our mental health as well as our relationships. Sometimes people need help changing their own thoughts and behaviors and sometimes people need help coping with circumstance outside their control. Positive change can be a difficult process that takes intention, purpose, and support. One of the most important benefits of therapy is that its effects are long-lasting. You’re not only working through current concerns, but you’re also learning and practicing new tools to help you deal with future concerns.

It is important that each family feels understood and supported, and I hope by learning about myself, you gain the confidence to take the first step down what can feel like a challenging path.
