I am a psychotherapist who provides counseling services for individuals of all ages, as well as for couples and families. I see people currently in and around the Topeka area, including Lawrence.
I absolutely love my job, my chosen profession, and I have many years of practice in building meaningful connections with people in order to help them lighten their emotional burdens and strive to reach their therapeutic goals.
I use a mindfulness based approach to treating anxiety, depression, and other emotional health problems. I also employ EMDR and other proven methods in treating trauma. I use non-directive play therapy in my mindfulness based work with children.
I am a Licensed Masters Level Social Worker (LMSW). I work specifically with adolescents over the age of 11, and adults. I practice various
therapeutic methods, depending of course on the needs of each client. Using a strengths and mindfulness based approach to psychotherapy, I draw upon my knowledge of, and training in, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to help clients reach their goals.
I prefer to shine a light on each client’s abilities, knowledge, support systems and networks from the start of the first session, until the end of the collaborative and therapeutic journey. By placing a premium on the individuality of each person I see, my goal is to cultivate an atmosphere of trust and empowerment within the therapeutic space. In this type of space, growth and openness can become the norm.
I also have 16 years of case management and advocacy experience. I have worked for two years as a mental health interventionist and middle school social worker. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma related problems (including PTSD), ADHD, girief, and adjustment disorders.
I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Washburn University.
