About
Mental health has not always been my passion, not even close. No one that knew me thought I'd become a therapist. In fact, my family highly discouraged me from it as I didn't fit the picture of who you think would become a therapist. That being said, it became my passion when I was 21 and has been since. I went to Kansas State University for my masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. After graduate school I worked in substance abuse treatment with the homeless for three years and then created my own private practice. I specialize in non-traditional therapy techniques focusing primarily on EMDR but also incorporating other spiritual practices as well.
​
I have not always been spiritual either, not even remotely for the majority of my life. I had a spiritual awakening when I was 33 and once again, no one saw that coming, not even me. It's one of the last things I ever thought I'd be associated with. I explored spirituality due to experiences I've had that were unexplainable at the time and I wanted answers and I was willing to explore something I didn't believe in to possibly find them. One of the best decisions I've ever made. Since then I've learned the spiritual modalities that have had the greatest benefit to me including Reiki and past life regression. There is still more to be learned for me in spiritual healing modalities.

I believe that we all have spiritual callings. I believe this project to be one of mine.
