We are here to help you achieve a healthier life and improved mental well-being. Our goal is to help alleviate your stress and anxiety to help feel more peaceful and to be centered. I use the methods of CBT, ACT, and DBT by focusing on your history and presenting issues to challenge your thinking. Using tools to help you feel a better balance and in control of your life.

My Bio:

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a doctoral candidate in clinical sex therapy, I provide a safe and supportive space for individuals and couples to explore sexual and relationship challenges. In the hustle of modern life, it’s easy to lose joy and intimacy, leading to feelings of anger, resentment, and isolation. If you’re experiencing a prolonged sense of imbalance, it’s time to reclaim the connections that matter most.

I specialize in helping men and women who struggle with attachment issues in their relationships and face challenges in reaching resolve in their relationship and sexual issues.  

My expertise is in working with women who identify as having problems in their intimate relationships, helping them navigate feelings of frustration, guilt, and stress surrounding their sexual desires. Together, we will explore and challenge negative beliefs about sex that contribute to shame, anxiety, and emotional disconnect.

Together, we will explore the emotional barriers that impact intimacy and work towards fostering deeper connections with your partner. Using a variety of therapeutic approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—I tailor my methods to meet your unique needs. Our journey will focus on enhancing sexual self-esteem, nurturing self-advocacy, and promoting body awareness, all while supporting you in achieving fulfilling intimacy.

If you’re seeking a solution that fits your fast-paced lifestyle, my sex-positive and kink-affirming therapy could be the key to rediscovering pleasure and connection. Let’s work together to rebalance your mental health and sexual wellness, enhancing both your professional success and personal relationships.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Overland Park, Kansas, dedicated to helping clients aged 16 and older. I provide in-person counseling at our Overland Park office on Mondays and Fridays and offer telehealth sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays. With one year of experience as a licensed clinician and eight years of working in the mental health field, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to my practice.

My professional background includes working in inpatient hospital settings and community mental health centers with both adults and children. These experiences have shaped my passion for empowering clients to feel valued, capable of change, and confident that they are not alone. My goal is to help each client recognise their intrinsic worth and the strength they hold to overcome challenges.

I specialize in working with individuals aged 16+ who have a history of trauma, PTSD, ADHD, low self-esteem, Bipolar Mood Disorder, anxiety disorders, and depressive disorders. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy and have a strong foundation in psychological assessments and evaluations. This allows me to provide accurate diagnoses, ensuring that clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and receive the most effective care—whether through therapy or collaboration with psychiatric providers for medication management.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives and experiences. Guided by this principle, I use a person-centred approach to create a supportive and collaborative environment in therapy. Additionally, I specialize in trauma treatment, Mood Disorders, and ADHD, integrating psychological assessments to better understand each client’s clinical picture. This comprehensive approach allows me to provide personalized care that fosters healing, growth, and self-awareness.
