Clients I Work With
The majority of my clients are women ages 15 and up who are in recovery for eating disorders, struggling with anxiety or mood disorders, as well as OCD or perfectionist tendencies. I also work with negative body image, negative self-talk and helping women discover who they are at their core. I also love working with women who are going through all the stages of menopause.
Approach
I approach each client from a strengths based, value-driven approach. I have been known to utilize ACT, DBT and CBT in therapy sessions. I hold each of my clients accountable for the changes they want to make in their journey, cheering them on to be the best version of themselves. I am also able to provide spiritual support as a Christian therapist (AACC), and will follow the clients' lead in regards to how to integrate their faith in therapy. I am more than open to working with other providers (PCP, Psychiatrist, Dietitian) as part of a team approach, as I have learned that having a strong team makes for more successful recovery.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
As someone who has a recovery story myself, I truly believe in the power of healing. I am honored to walk alongside clients as they are working towards full recovery from their eating disorder (or disordered eating; disordered relationship with exercise/body). I have familial and professional experience in treating mood disorders (specifically Bipolar disorder), as well as anxiety disorders and know first hand how important it is to have a strong clinical team.
More About My Practice
Not only am I an independently licensed therapist, I am also a certified life coach & soon to be certified Menopause coach! I love helping others obtain their therapy licensure, so another hat I wear is as a board approved Clinical Supervisor in both KS and MO. I offer both in-person and online sessions, but definitely have more availability on the virtual side. I offer group supervision, as well as therapy groups virtually as well.
