About

As the rhythm of 2026 settles in, are you noticing a desire to live with greater intention and care for the person you are becoming? Take a moment to breathe and exhale. How are your current life challenges shaping your emotional and physical well-being? Seeking therapy is a courageous step toward gaining balance, clarity, and confidence. This is your time and your safe space to move from simply enduring life to truly enjoying it—and to rediscover the beauty of becoming your authentic self. Let’s partner together to help you move from chaos to calm. As a seasoned clinician who has worked with clients around the world, I blend CBT, DBT, Narrative, Motivational, and Solution-Focused therapies with Faith-Based counseling. Grounded in neuroscience, I help clients understand the brain–emotion connection, fostering healing, and transformation. Clients describe me as genuine, skilled and intentional. If you live in Kansas and you’re feeling weary, uncertain, or simply ready for change, you don’t have to walk this path alone. I am passionate about empowering women to heal, grow and navigate life’s transitions with clarity and confidence. Embracing the beauty of transformation and hope, one calm, intentional step at a time. Remember, peace is a practice. Specialties: I work with diverse clients experiencing depression, grief, and challenging life transitions. Through culturally sensitive, neuroscience-informed therapy, I help clients process racial identity issues, strengthen self-esteem, and navigate relationships and workplace stress. My treatment plan fosters emotional balance, confidence, and renewed purpose for lasting transformation. Credentials & Experience: I have over 45 years of experience helping people move from stress and overwhelm to peace, confidence, and authenticity. I have a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Social Work and a Ph.D in education.
