It can be intimidating to tell your story and put your trust in a therapist.  It is my goal to provide full support and acceptance with every single client.  It is essential to develop a good working relationship with a therapist with whom you feel comfortable.

I am a culturally sensitive, person-centered counselor.  I respect you, your life, and your ability to make your own decisions.  I want to gain a good understanding of who you are, where you come from, and where you want to go.

Along with Clinical licenses as a Professional Counselor in Kansas and Missouri, I am credentialed as a National Certified Counselor (NCC).  I am also pursuing my doctoral degree in Counselor Education and Supervision at Kansas State University, studying the lived-experiences of Counselor Professional Identity.

I love working with both adults and teenagers.  My clients have had success in working through a variety of challenges, including:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Grief and Loss
• Managing Anger
• Relationships and Social Skills
• Struggles with Substances
• Traumatic Events

I work on enhancing motivations and values to help you find solutions.  I have extensive experience in facilitating support and skills for tolerating distress, regulating emotions, and obtaining peace of mind. These skills enhance your ability to manage emergencies, solve problems and think clearly.
