Therapists in Shawnee County, KS

All individuals have the capacity for growth and change, as well as to move beyond life's stumbling blocks, if given the opportunity and with adequate support. In my office, you will find an atmosphere of comfort, relaxation, warmth and acceptance. I work with clients who experience an array of personal and relational difficulties. You deserve to feel empowered and encouraged to utilize your strengths to make the positive changes necessary to feel better. It is an honor for me to accompany you on your journey toward feeling less depressed, anxious, frustrated, overwhelmed...whatever it is that you are experiencing.

I have dedicated my practice to helping my community's children, adolescents, adults, and families live the best lives possible. I have over 20 years of experience working with children and families in many different capacities. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, mood changes, parenting, or other life challenges, come see me. Together, we will come up with strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your struggles.

Like the idea of talking to a therapist from the privacy of your home with no risk of running into someone you know? Would you like to save the time of driving to and from scheduled therapy appointments in an office? My therapy practice is 100% virtual. I see Kansas residents anywhere in the state and you will never need to go to an office. After years of providing traditional therapy, I am now semi retired and travel full time seeing my clients via teletherapy. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions or maybe you're not even sure what is going on. You just know you are overwhelmed and struggling. I can help.

If you have found my page, you or someone you know are struggling with depression, anxiety, anger or some other stressor. Therapy is useful as it will help you develop new ways to manage these issues especially in the way you think about them. Helping people learn about themselves and grow is my passion. Discarding old patterns of behavior/thinking and developing new one's will be the primary goal while working together. I find this to be very exciting and somewhat challenging but definitely worth all the effort in the end.

I work collaboratively with people to achieve positive outcomes. Some of the areas I work most often with clients are anxiety, depressed mood, family transitions including care-taking of senior age parents, couple and marriage problems, separation, divorce, grief and loss, parenting, blended families, combat stress, PTSD, adjustment to life-style changes including senior citizens, military family issues and stress over financial troubles.

As a therapist, I have years of experience with working with adults and children, all of whom come from unique backgrounds. This includes children in foster care, children and adults in a community mental health setting, as well as working with adults and children experiencing mental health crisis. My specialty is working with adults and children that struggle with anxiety, depression, bereavement, and have difficulty expressing or managing their frustration or anger. I also specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community when it comes to the unique challenges this marginalized group faces.

Life can be challenging and the experiences along the way can cause stress, anxiety, and depression to name a few mental health issues that may affect your everyday life. In therapy, I understand the importance of having someone to talk to about issues and experiences in life. You will be met with respect, empathy, genuineness, supportive and active listening, and unconditional positive regard. Together we will work on your goals for therapy. You will be met where you are in the therapeutic journey, and be provided a safe environment to express your feelings, thoughts, challenges, and concerns.

Do you experience depression, anxiety, mood swings, relationship conflicts or engage in impulsive behaviors? If you've answered yes to any of these questions you are not alone. Finding your way to this moment is your journey, together we can embrace your strengths and work toward the life you have envisioned.

Do you have recent trauma or loss? As a certified Brainspotting therapist, we can focus on releasing the painful emotions and reactions to recent trauma or loss that you no longer need dominating your life, if you're ready. These include grief (profound sadness, anger, shame, guilt, numbness and despair) anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and depression. The further back the trauma the more challenging it can be, however I try hard to be supportive and help achieve the change you want. I have worked with all kinds of trauma with compassion. I seek to help you achieve vitality, peace, confidence and wholeness in your body.

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.

Searching for the right therapist can be daunting. The prospect of starting therapy can be scary. It can be especially frustrating to try many different things to feel better, yet never finding a sense of long- term relief. Sometimes we all need extra support to start this healing journey– I know this from a deeply personal level. I have found that lasting change must involve our whole self- body, mind, and spirit. I use mindfulness skills to help bring awareness to how thoughts, feelings and sensations impact our nervous system and sense of well-being and to help you heal those places where you feel stuck and depleted.
