Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Wichita Therapy Stop... where the healing can begin.
I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist committed to helping others learn how to overcome their traumatic past. My work focuses on trauma work specifically utilizing EMDR. I believe that all people do the best they can with what they have to deal with and want to be their best. I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults who want to make their lives better. I also enjoy reading, gardening and hanging out with my dogs and my horse.
