Playful Approaches to Serious Healing.
I am so glad you found Blanket Fort Therapy. Within a blanket fort there is safety, a feeling of warmth, and a place to dream. My hope is that you find those same things within your experience at Blanket Fort Therapy. Here you will experience compassion, a safe place to heal, warm acceptance, and support for your dreams. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I care about the whole person and the whole family. Having lived in rural areas for many years, I recognize the challenges in finding quality care. When I began my training at Friends University, I set out to learn as many specializations as possible to bring back to Southeast Kansas. I am trained in EMDR which I use with clients that have experienced trauma. I am also a Registered Play Therapist. I use play therapy with all ages, but especially employ this with children. I also enjoy working with individuals, families, and couples. I view every individual as unique and valuable. I am full of hope for each client and invite you to borrow some of that hope until we can find your own. As an individual, I love to read and spend time with my family. I adore my children, husband, and rescue dog. My husband is a pastor, and my faith is important to me. If you wish to discuss faith issues or leave them alone, that is your choice. You are in charge of your therapy session. I am honored to hear your story.
