I am licensed in Kansas with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, depression, concentration, & memory. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Through my years of working with clients, I came to recognize the significance of secure attachments to holistic well-being and engaging in healthy connections. I am dedicated to working with clients to increase personal growth through emotional regulation and gaining the confidence to be vulnerable in connecting with partners, friends, and family in meaningful ways. Through practice my approach to therapy has developed into a client-centered and humanistic experiential methodology. I believe Maya Angelou’s words give meaning to the client-centered experiential approach: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
