Our therapists provide marriage counseling in Lawrence, KS

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 18 years of experience providing compassionate, person-centered care to adolescents and adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and emotional dysregulation. Many of the patients I support feel overwhelmed or frustrated by symptoms that interfere with daily functioning and relationships, and I work to help them gain clarity, balance, and practical tools for long-term stability.

I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Maryville University. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based medication management. I take time to understand each patient’s full story and develop individualized treatment plans that support symptom relief and sustainable progress.

Seeking support takes courage, and you do not have to navigate this process alone. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where concerns are taken seriously, and progress happens in realistic, manageable steps. When you are ready, I would be honored to work alongside you on your path toward healing and balance.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 5 years of experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and bipolar disorder. Before becoming an advanced practice registered nurse in 2024, I worked as a psychiatric nurse in an inpatient facility. My nursing background spans 8 years in areas such as orthopedics, neurology/trauma, medical-surgical, and psychiatry. I bring this diverse experience to support clients with compassion, respect, and evidence-based care.

I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University. I believe in meeting clients where they are, building trust through open dialogue, and encouraging small but meaningful steps toward growth. I incorporate both medication management and non-pharmacological strategies to support overall mental wellness.

I understand that seeking care is not always easy, but you are not alone. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood instability, or other challenges, I want you to feel seen, supported, and valued. My goal is to help you take that first step with confidence and to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing.
