I earned the MSW from the University of Kansas in 2014. I have since engaged in a range of direct human and mental health service work; including in-home therapy with youth and their families connected to state child protective services; crisis therapy and case management in a short-term crisis stabilization facility; outpatient community mental health therapy including work with individuals, families or couples, and groups.
As your therapist, I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in social work, I have a solid educational foundation. My work with the active-duty military, specifically combat-related PTSD, has equipped me with a deep understanding of trauma's impact. I specialize in working with adults addressing concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships. Together we'll explore evidence-based techniques tailored to your needs, fostering healing, growth, and well-being.
Lalanea (pronounced Luh-Lane-Yah) has worked for years in case management, education, and foster care. Lalanea graduated from Wichita State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Women’s Studies and with a Master of Social Work. Between those degrees, she earned a Master of Public Affairs with a Nonprofit Concentration from UNC Greensboro. Lalanea is a North Carolina board-certified licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a Kansas board-certified licensed specialist clinical social worker (LSCSW). Lalanea is located in Kansas and is entirely offering telehealth appointments; however, NC is her other home.
I am drawn to matters of the heart, the deep questions we ask, how we find meaning, move through pain, and become more free. My own healing through relationships, therapy, spirituality, expressive arts, and body movement led me to become a therapist. I completed my MA in Couples and Family Therapy from Seattle University in 2019, opened my private practice in 2021, and have trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy for 6 years. I also bring experience as a yoga instructor, doula trainee, and spiritual seeker.
I am a clinical social worker who has worked with all ages, from birth to elderly. I have a Masters in Social Work and am also a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor. My speciality areas are children and the LGBTQ+ community.
