Therapists in Bonner Springs, KS

I'm a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor (LCAC) licensed in the state of Kansas. I have over seven years’ experience working with adults providing individual therapy implementing Crisis Intervention, Solution Focused Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  I earned my Masters in Social Worker at Wichita State University in May 2014. I have worked with individuals struggling with a variety of mental health concerns to include symptoms of depression, anxiety, Bipolar, personality disorders, and Schizophrenia related disorders. I have assisted those struggling with substance use disorders and have referred for inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment. If you are struggling with substance use, or are not sure, let's chat to learn what is going on and work on some healthy changes. ​ My approach to therapy is Humanistic, meaning I believe individuals are always in a state of becoming and striving towards being the best version of themselves. I aim to help empower my clients identify their strengths to help them achieve personal goals, while also working towards accepting that they are human and worthy of love, patience and forgiveness.  I enjoy hearing the stories my clients have to share and learning of the journeys they have traveled that have brought them to the here and now. I have been trained in providing Trauma Informed Care, so I aim to provide a sensitive approach to assisting individuals achieve their goals while also remaining vigilant to the  difficult circumstances that have thrown a wrench in plans made. I look forward to hearing your story and collaborating with you to help you be the best version of yourself.​ On the personal side I'm a boy mom, a dog mom, a wife, sister, daughter, and Army veteran. I enjoy cookouts, spending time with family and friends, reading, binge watching the latest hits and watching the latest blockbusters. 

I am a clinical social worker (as well as having been a clinical addiction counselor), licensed in Kansas, with almost 30 years of experience working as a therapist. I also have worked in substance abuse treatment facilities, mental health centers, an in-patient psychiatric treatment center, a primary care clinic, and 2 different hospices. There are not too many situations that I have not helped clients with in some way. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, ADHD, and end-of-life issues (both patients and families with loved ones who are experiencing serious illness). I have also helped many people who have experienced various kinds of trauma or abuse. My counseling style is laid-back, caring, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and other traditional “talk” therapies, as well as more brain-based therapies such as EMDR & somatic approaches. We will work together to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek support for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
