Connect with Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) therapy in Shawnee, KS

I work with individuals, couples and teens. I try to create a Person-Centered approach that will work individually with your needs. I believe that no two people are exactly the same and ALL deserve individualized care. I believe life is messy at times but there is beauty in the chaos if you are willing to look for it. Let me help you look.

My passion is witnessing the growth and healing that comes from leaning into vulnerability and exploring blocks from a place of compassion and curiosity. I support clients as they learn tools to work through challenges while doing deep inner work to cultivate self-love, inner peace, and confidence.

I'm ready to collaborate with you on a path to mental well-being.

I help individuals, couples, families, and veterans find joy and fulfillment in their relationships. Whether you're facing challenges or seeking growth, we'll work together using down-to-earth conversation so you can feel calm and relaxed. A Christian approach is available if desired.
