"Life is about change. Sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it's beautiful. But most of the time, it's both." - Lana Lang.
Creating change in our relationships and selves can be most the rewarding investments we make! I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families of all ages.
As a clinician, I have three areas I specialize in working with clients around - sexual concerns, substance/behavior concerns, and using or receiving abusive or violent behavior in a relationship. I have extensive training, supervision, and experience in these three areas.
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Kansas with 10 years of professional work experience. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
