Hello and welcome. I suspect that as you search for a therapist to assist you at this time, through whatever specific difficulties you are facing, that you may be feeling a myriad of emotions. If uncertainty is one of them, rest assured that this makes perfect sense. In the paragraphs that follow, I hope to provide you with some basic information about myself to hopefully ease some anxiety.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist (Kansas LP 2153) working with individuals across the lifespan: children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. I have experience working with individuals as well as families. I specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy but also have experience utilizing other therapeutic approaches including person-centered/experiential, psychodynamic, and systemic family therapy. In sum, I approach each new client assessing the "best fit" approach given their symptoms, difficulties, aptitudes, and the therapeutic relationship.
I am passionate about my helping role and strive to facilitate my patients' recovery, which I view as comprising physical health, emotional/psychological health, and spiritual health.
I congratulate you on seizing this time to seek help and encourage you to explore the possibilities.
