I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a deep passion for empowering individuals to find strength and growth through therapy. With a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wichita State University, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients and issues, including children, teenagers, and young adults. My career has included diverse experiences, from an inpatient substance abuse treatment facility during my practicum to a community mental health center for my internship, providing me with a broad understanding of the challenges people face.
I specialize in helping clients work through difficult emotions and life challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, grief, and relationship conflicts. I’m also experienced in treating dual diagnosis and supporting those dealing with substance abuse issues. My approach is rooted in collaboration, education, and providing clients with tools they can use in their daily lives to achieve lasting change.
In our work together, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness techniques. These approaches help clients better understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, allowing them to make meaningful shifts toward their therapy goals. Psychoeducation is also an important part of my work, as I believe understanding the “why” behind our behaviors can be a powerful tool for healing.
I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to accommodate your needs and schedule, with availability during weekdays and evenings. If you’re ready to explore new ways to cope with life’s challenges, I’d be honored to work with you and help you find the light within yourself.
