Hi there! Just a little bit about me; I am a wife, a mom of twins, a lover of books, an Eight on the Enneagram & I love the work that I am blessed to do every day. I have my MS in Counseling as well as my certificate in Life Coaching. I am licensed clinically in KS & MO, and I am a Supervisor in both states. I specialize in treating eating disorders. I also enjoy working with anxiety & mood disorders, perfectionism and other co-occurring disorders.
I would say I am both light-hearted and direct in the counseling space. I find that my clients appreciate the level of accountability they receive as well as the degree to which I can challenge them towards change. I typically use CBT, ACT, REBT and Compassion Focused Therapy.
When it comes to goals for therapy, we will take the first couple of sessions to discuss these goals together. I always find SMART goals to be most effective and when you add the layer of accountability to these goals, change can & will happen. I believe wholeheartedly that when you commit yourself to change, you will feel free.
