I'm originally from Wichita, KS and later completed my Master's training in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) at the University of Nebraska - Omaha (UNO). Beginning with a deep respect for all people navigating today's complex world, I work with individuals, couples, and families from teen to golden years.
By utilizing current evidence-based practices, I'll share the art and science of incorporating a curious, non-judgmental approach to understanding yourself and others. My approach incorporates ERP, DBT, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused, and trauma-informed care to help clients move to a state of what I call, "enthusiastic peacefulness".
Change and life events can feel overwhelming and push us past our comfort zones. If your coping strategies are no longer working or seem to be making things worse, learning new skills is a great place to start. Once empowered with effective skills, we can get curious about areas that may be holding you back from all the possibilities your future holds.
It is normal to feel out of control when life commitments exceed resources such as time, coping skills, or emotional load. Change can start today by reaching out to schedule your first appointment. You can check out my website (paperbarktherapy.com), Instagram, or Facebook page to learn more about my approach or call/email any questions you may have about therapy options.
