Hello! I am a licensed social worker in Kansas with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, & depression. I also have some experience in working with clients that have developmental delays and/or intellectual disabilities, with those that are on the autism spectrum, and children and teens that are in foster care.
I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. Your specific needs will be addressed when developing your treatment plan and creating realistic, achievable goals.
Taking the first step to seek additional support can be difficult! It can be confusing, anxiety-provoking, etc. I would be glad to help support you in making positive changes in your life to better yourself.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
