About
Do you have unhealed emotional wounds that are impacting you negatively today? Are you getting tired of the voice in your head telling you you “aren’t good enough”, “are too much”, “need to be perfect and please everyone”, “are to blame" for what happened? Are you grieving the loss of a person, relationship or identity? Are you feeling stuck despite having good insight into your struggles? Are you seeking expressive, experiential approaches to healing? Have you identified your core issues in talk therapy, but struggle to make meaningful change? I treat unhealed emotional wounds, whether your wounds were caused by the “death by a thousand cuts” of early emotional neglect or due to experiencing unspeakable horrors. As a person-centered, integrative therapist with 17 years of experience, I use a collaborative approach with my clients to fit with their interests and strengths. I am certified in EMDR and became the first Registered Expressive Arts Therapist in Kansas and the KC metro in 2023. I have cultivated a deep capacity for listening through working with individual clients, hospice patients, their families, and the bereaved. I hope to collaborate with you in your journey of healing. Contact me for a free consult. Specialties: I work with people seeking to heal from emotional wounds that have left them with maladaptive beliefs about themselves and difficulty navigating the present. I integrate EMDR, expressive arts therapy, somatic therapy, and parts work with other methods to teach coping skills and help reprocess adverse events. After checking in, I offer creative options for expressing and exploring issues. Credentials & Experience: I am a LCSW/LSCSW with 18 years post-master's experience. I became the first REAT (Registered Expressive Arts Therapist) in the state of KS and in the KC Metro in 2023. I am also an EMDR Certified Therapist and am certified in Somatic Embodiment and Regulation Strategies Level 3.
"I integrate EMDR and Expressive Arts Therapy with many other evidence-based approaches into action-oriented, experiential, multi-sensory, somatic and trauma-focused work. In addition to discussing gains and struggles, we will explore your experiences and create resources for coping using imagination, mindfulness, problem-solving, movement, the arts, sand tray, psychodrama, and visualization."
