Find a Therapist in Tonganoxie, Kansas.

Getting stuck in our own cycles and patterns is common. When those cycles and patterns begin to impair our day to day functioning it becomes a heavy burden to even get out of bed in the mornings. Through use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy I am able to help you release yourself from the confines of your brain and begin living freely again.

You will name your goals and desires for counseling. You will receive a nonjudgmental approach, a time to reflect on your past and present decisions, looking at the outcomes, looking at cycles that may be destructive or promotive and how actions can deter, limit or achieve your goals. If there is anxiety or depression, we will determine the level it is affecting you, then proceed to choose ways to help you to bring it under control.

Are you left confused about the status of your life and find things to be overwhelming and challenging? My office is a place where I hold space for you to safely explore your inner world and to help you make connections to how your past affects your current life. In our busy world we give to everyone else. Give yourself the gift of discovering a better future. I can help you create a better reality for yourself and those you live life with.

As a client-centered therapist, I focus upon each individual's unique personalities and strengths. Therapy session will focus on methods that meet your individual needs. Most sessions include Cognitive Behavior therapy which focuses on negative or destructive thought patterns. Some will involve Narrative therapy as well. Each individual is treated with value and respect in a private, non-judgemental environment.

Playful Awareness was created to give clients a fresh perspective on mental health and to help them create a "life worth living." Psychotherapy involves many different specialties, however the most important factor in achieving positive outcomes is the therapeutic alliance between the therapist and client. If a client does not believe trust has been established, they will be less likely to open up and honestly address their issues. My approach welcomes clients to openly share what is bothering them and supports teamwork in coming up with a solution that will best meet the client's needs.
