Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings—including hospitals, outpatient programs, and corporate environments—where I’ve built meaningful relationships with clients while managing high caseloads. Whether providing short-term counseling, coaching clients through transitions, or supporting employees in enhancing their well-being, I am deeply committed to fostering an environment where individuals can address their challenges with understanding and care.
A particular area of focus for me is helping couples strengthen their relationships. I find great fulfillment in guiding them through communication issues, conflicts, and life stressors.

I have been working as a therapist for the past four years and have prior experience working in the child welfare system, as well as working as a school social worker. I enjoy working with pre-teens, teens, and adults.
I'm a licensed psychologist with over 21 years of experience. My clients are high-functioning, responsible people who've reached a point where pushing through doesn't work anymore. They need deeper understanding, not just more coping strategies. You might be here because you keep noticing the same relational patterns. Or you're navigating a major transition. Or family dynamics from decades ago are showing up in your current life. Maybe you've achieved external success but something feels misaligned. You want to understand the "why" behind your choices, not just learn to cope better.
Here's what I want you to know: You can have your shit together professionally and still need help personally. You can have your shit together personally and still need help professionally. Success in one area doesn't mean you've figured out all the others - that's part of us being human.
Hi, I’m really glad you’re here. If life feels heavy, overwhelming, or like you’ve been carrying too much on your own, you’re not alone. I work with teens (12+) and adults who are struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck and unsure of what’s next. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed on the inside. In our work together, you’ll have a calm, supportive space where you can finally exhale, feel heard without judgment, and start making sense of what you’re going through. We’ll work together at your pace to help you feel more grounded, understood, and confident in your life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Lawrence, KS
Searching for therapists in Lawrence starts with understanding what kind of support fits what you want to address. People look for therapy in Lawrence, KS for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. Some therapists may note approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, or trauma-informed care in their bios.
Lawrence has a smaller local therapy market than nearby metro areas, so virtual care can expand your options while still connecting you with a Kansas-licensed therapist. You may prefer an in-person office near your home, campus, or workplace, or you may need the flexibility of virtual appointments that fit your schedule. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles can help you compare communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.
Therapy in Lawrence can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and schedule directly with someone accepting new patients. Headway accepts a wide range of insurance plans nationally, and your exact coverage depends on your plan and location. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
