Great to meet you

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience helping people heal from unresolved trauma and the ways it shows up in daily life — relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and patterns that feel hard to change on your own.

I work with clients navigating grief and bereavement, anxiety and panic, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, family challenges, and stress. My style is warm, affirming, and solution-oriented.

Therapy with me is collaborative and client-centered: you set the goals, and we work toward them together. I believe lasting progress comes from active participation, and I’ll encourage you to engage fully in the process — because that’s where meaningful change happens.

I earned my MSW at Wichita State University and am licensed in Kansas.

My approach

I provide a safe space to explore and gently challenge the beliefs about yourself that took shape during painful experiences. Therapy is tailored to you, drawing on a range of evidence-based methods rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Depending on your goals, that might mean practical, solution-focused work; cognitive behavioral strategies; attachment and strength-based approaches; or EMDR, a well-researched trauma treatment I’ve been certified in for over 20 years.

Methods I draw from

  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
  • Attachment-Based Therapy
  • Solution-Focused Couples Therapy
  • Strength-Based Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Behavior Management
  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)

Ways we can work together

Individual therapy

One-on-one support for trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, and life transitions at your pace, focused on your goals.

Couples therapy

Solution-focused work to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen your relationship.

Family therapy

Help for families navigating conflict, change, or strain — building healthier patterns together.

What to expect

How do virtual sessions work?

Sessions take place over secure video — all you need is a private space and a phone, tablet, or computer. Telehealth lets me work with clients anywhere in Kansas, whether you’re in Wichita or a small town hours from the nearest therapist.

What is the first session like?

We’ll get to know each other, talk about what brings you to therapy, and start identifying what you’d like to change. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready to.

How long does therapy take?

It depends on your goals. Some clients find solution-focused work helpful within a handful of sessions; deeper trauma work often takes longer. We’ll check in regularly about your progress.

Insurance & booking

I partner with Headway to make therapy accessible through insurance. Headway handles scheduling, billing, and claims — most clients pay only their copay.
