Anxiety Counseling for Teens - College Students - Adults
Teens
You know your teen is having a hard time. They’re doing well in school, but it still feels overwhelming to them. Or maybe the opposite it happening; they once thrived in the school setting and now they have difficulty getting started. Perhaps they get angry or defensive when you try to help. Maybe they are striving to keep everything perfect and would rather implode than disappoint someone. Even successful teens can become overwhelmed or stressed. If the overwhelm or stress is keeping them from doing the things they want or need to do, you’re in the right place. Let me help.
College Students
Why does college feel so much harder than high school? You always did well in high school and expected your college experience to be the same. Instead, you find yourself juggling all of the things - classes, extra curricular activities, studying, work, and internship applications. You find yourself with little free time and when you do, rather than tackling your to-do list like normal, you veg out and scroll social media or binge watch your favorite television series. If you’re feeling stuck, you’re in the right place. Let me help.
Adults
You overthink and over plan. You find it difficult to make decisions. Perhaps you feel anxious in social situations or find that you dread doing the activities you once enjoyed. Do you feel exhausted and fatigued at the end of the day? Even as exhausted as you feel, you sometimes find it difficult to sleep because of the never ending to-do list or the replaying of conversations over and over in your head. You have been struggling for so long that it has become your new normal. You are ready for change or you would not be here. But, how do you find a therapist in Kansas City, MO that you can fully trust? One that you can connect with? Let me help.

My therapeutic approach is to utilize a combination of person-centered therapy to focus on the here-and-now and solution-focused therapy to provide a space for creating future success for each individual client.
