Hey there,
I BECAME A THERAPIST BECAUSE BEING A HUMAN CAN BE HARD.
When I first meet with a client, the most important thing for me is to connect with them using compassion, understanding, and empathy. I strive to create a safe trusting atmosphere where people can be themselves and talk about what is on their mind without fear of judgement.
I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inferential Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with an attachment lens. I have experience treating OCD, trauma, and anxiety, working with people adjusting to life, work, or family changes. In addition, I have worked at the college level teaching study, stress management and interpersonal skills; facilitating career exploration; helping BIPOC students adjust to a predominantly white institution; and linking students to the resources they need to be successful on and off campus.
When I am not at work, I enjoy gardening, walking, reading, and calling my two grown daughters, who live out of state. My husband and I love to travel, garden, and try new restaurants.
Education: I received my Master’s degree in Social Work (MSW) from Michigan State University, my Master of Science degree in Education, and Bachelor of Science in Education at the University of Kansas.
