Grief counselors and therapists in Olathe, KS

Life doesn't come with a roadmap — but building one is exactly what we do together.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 17 years of experience working with youth, adults, families, and military communities across school, clinical, and community settings. I've sat with people in some of the most demanding circumstances imaginable — from inpatient mental health facilities to active military bases — and I've learned that what helps most isn't a script. It's connection, clarity, and a practical plan that actually fits your life.

I grew up on a farm, where I learned early that hard work and determination lead to better outcomes. That belief has shaped every corner of my career — and how I show up for every person I work with.

I am seasoned therapist with over 10 years of experience. I have worked with a wide range of clientele.

I have been married for 41 years and am a mother and grandmother. I have have an MSW degree and have been in private practice as a therapist for 27 years. I prefer serving adults and have a passion for individual and couples counseling.

Hello, and welcome, my name is Caroline I know that choosing to seek mental-health support takes strength, and I want you to know that you will not face this journey alone. If you've ever felt like seeking Psychiatric care means meeting a busy, rushed provider who treats you like a diagnosis, I get it. Our world has a way of speeding up healthcare to the point where it's impersonal. I started my own practice to change that. I have experience with all levels of care from severe hospitalizations to routine medication refills. I am particularly passionate about anxiety and in helping my clients who tell me their "brains just won't turn off"...learn how to slow down.

I am a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker providing therapy for 16 years to people aged 4 to 104. I have experience working with people living with anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD. I also have experience working with couples and families to overcome challenges.

I am deeply committed to helping individuals discover meaning and purpose in their lives. With more than four decades of experience as a counselor, I specialize in guiding clients through recovery from addictions, anxiety disorders, and PTSD.

As an Associate Professor in the Online Department of Community Care and Counseling within the School of Behavioral Sciences at Liberty University, I facilitate courses designed to help students and clients rediscover their zest for life and cultivate lasting emotional well-being.

In my private practice, I work extensively with couples, equipping them with practical tools and proven techniques to restore joy, strengthen relational intimacy, and build fulfilling, resilient relationships.

I live in Lynchburg, Virginia, where I remain actively engaged in my community. My areas of specialization include trauma and complex trauma, anxiety, depression, child abuse recovery, and relational intimacy. I am also the author of Joy on the Same Page (2023), which outlines my Relational Intimacy approach.

I am someone who wants to get to know you and build trust. I hope to provide a space for growth as well as laughter and joy. We all heal a little more when we can laugh with someone. I have 6 years of experience as a counseling graduate and 2 years of counseling experience from grad school.
