I’m glad you’re here. I want to tell you a bit about myself so you can determine if you’d like to begin a conversation with me. From there we can decide if a collaboration may be helpful to you.

A bit about my background, education, and credentials: I earned a Bachelor’s degree in English Education from the University of Kansas in 1995. I did not go into teaching right away, rather I stayed at my “college job” which was managing the legendary Pet World in Lawrence KS. From there I travelled a path of business management, regional and national sales, corporate training, and eventually landed in real estate sales. Along the way, I discovered that no matter what area I’m occupied in, the work is really about listening, educating, and helping people achieve their goals. This awakened a long-standing calling in me to become a coach and a licensed counselor. So, I went back to school!

I earned both my Bachelor’s (2008) and Master’s degrees in Psychology (2011) at Washburn University. As a psychologist, I’ve helped folks through community mental health centers, prisons and jails, colleges, and private practice. I’ve also worked with people of all ages from toddlers to elders. By license, I am a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist (LCP) which is an advanced level license that allows me to diagnose mental health conditions and administer counseling and therapeutic interventions. In addition to counseling, you’ll frequently find me teaching psychology courses at the local college.

Ultimately, I am a life-long helper and educator committed to making a positive difference in people’s lives. Guiding others, neutralizing life’s complexities, and helping people feel supported has always been at the heart of what I do.

I offer both Individual Therapy/Counseling and Personal Achievement Coaching. The services are different as are the modalities used and the goals. Counseling is helpful for folks who are suffering with symptoms and need help returning to a baseline level of functioning. Coaching works well for folks who are functioning fine but want to grow or achieve a new or higher goal.

So I commend you, because today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path toward new growth and improved well-being. As a solution-focused practitioner, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and live a life you love. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
