I am happy to be meeting you. I have been practicing since 2000. I graduated with my Master's degree from Friends University in Wichita Kansas. I work with people in many different areas. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in most therapy sessions. I work with people dealing with trauma, sexual trauma, childhood trauma, grief and many other types of loss, some family therapy, LGBTQ, and other areas. Through personal experiences I have learned how to approach difficult subjects and use my heart to guide those difficult situations in life that none of us want to deal with, but we do because it allows us to grow as human beings.
