You know the capital of Kansas, but you hesitate when you’re asked what you do for fun. We go through years of education, but we often don’t even know ourselves. All we do know is something feels off…we feel unfulfilled in our work, and our relationships feel draining. We’ve worked so hard to make those around us proud, we forgot to think about how we feel about ourselves. Let's change that. My goal is to provide a space free of distraction and judgement so we can explore the experiences and relationships in your life that shaped you and begin to figure out our own personal values and strengths.
Utilizing a client-centered approach, I cater my sessions to the need of each unique individual. A strong therapeutic relationship is essential to effective therapy, so it is my focus to collaborate on goals with my clients and create a trusting, calm supportive environment for you to gather your own insight and perspective.
As a member of the ENM community, I enjoy working and supporting lifestyles of all kinds: poly, open, ENM, monogamous; all are respected and valid. I believe the closer one is to becoming their authentic self, the more life begins to make sense and the more one feels fulfilled in their daily lives; let’s get to know you together.
