Hello, I work with young teens through adults who are navigating life transitions and looking to improve their emotional and behavioral wellness. I became a therapist because I was once the person sitting on the couch seeking help—feeling conflicted and unsure, like I was betraying myself by going against what I was taught growing up. I also know what it feels like to sit across from someone who simply wasn’t relatable, and to leave feeling misunderstood. That experience is a major reason I chose this path: to support individuals who feel unrelatable, unreachable, or like no one truly “gets it.” I specialize in emotional and behavioral regulation, self-esteem, and supporting youth involved in group homes or foster care. In sessions, you can expect a supportive space where we identify patterns, explore behaviors, and create realistic goals that fit your life. Together, we will build tools, structure, and confidence to help you make the changes you want to work on. I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor – Temporary (LPC-T) practicing under clinical supervision in accordance with Kansas BSRB requirements.
