I would love to help you find a happier, healthier version of yourself. I believe you have the skills and the strength to reach your goals and to live your life in a way that matches your values. I can help you identify your thoughts and/or behaviors that get in the way of living that life. I have experience helping clients work through depression, life transitions and stress, substance abuse concerns, and relationship concerns. I can also help you explore mind/body connections and the ways in which anxiety, depression, mood and trauma can impact the body as well as the mind, and help you obtain a healthy balance in your life. I am a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker in both Kansas and Missouri, and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor. I have worked in several settings, including inpatient/outpatient substance abuse treatment, mental health agencies, and healthcare. I specialize in strengths based, harm reduction approaches to addiction management, as well as treatment of anxiety and stress. I am here to help you do the work you want to do, but need a helping hand to get started. My clients say that I help them take action and DO things to make changes and feel better, instead of just talking or thinking about them. Call my office today to get started!
