Great to meet you!

As a graduate of the University of Kansas, I have been working as a therapist for over 8 years. I am passionate about helping people build a healthy quality of life. My main focus currently is treating depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, substance use issues and family function. I use frameworks such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solutions Focused, Interpersonal and an Intersectional approach.

My approach to therapy

I love to work collaboratively with others to help them find the best direction possible to meet their goals. I like to use a combination critical thinking and problem-solving skills to focus on making progress that is sustainable.

What you can expect from me

The most important part of your journey into therapy is the relationship you build with yourself. With that in mind I put a lot of effort into building a strong relationship so I can provide the kind of support and challenge you need to help feel empowered along the way.
