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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
