Grief counselors and therapists in Wichita, 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 earned the MSW from the University of Kansas in 2014. I have since engaged in a range of direct human and mental health service work; including in-home therapy with youth and their families connected to state child protective services; crisis therapy and case management in a short-term crisis stabilization facility; outpatient community mental health therapy including work with individuals, families or couples, and groups.

If you’re feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, mood shifts, or ADHD symptoms and wondering whether medication could help, you’re not alone. I work with teens and adults navigating mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and stress-related challenges.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my mix of medical expertise and genuine compassion. With a background in both psychiatry and intensive medical care, I understand how closely the mind and body are connected. My goal is to make care accessible and consistent, which is why I offer flexible scheduling and telehealth appointments.

In our first sessions, we’ll review your history, clarify your symptoms, and determine whether medication is appropriate. If it is, we’ll build a treatment plan that feels realistic, evidence-based, and aligned with your goals and overall health.

Outside of work, I find balance through yoga, comedy, time with my dog, and enjoying sunny days — reminders that healing comes from both steady progress and moments of joy.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life or weighed down by past experiences? Whatever you’ve been through, you don’t have to face it alone. As a licensed clinical social worker specializing in PTSD, attachment, and family systems, I’m here to help you uncover your strengths, heal from trauma, and create meaningful change.
