    • 5201 Johnson Dr. Suite 305 Mission KS 66205
    • Phone: (913) 229-4319‬
    • I work with adults 18-65 years old
    • In my experiences as a therapist, I find that being out of sorts with our emotions can lead to a lot of dissatisfaction in life. A lack of emotions can lead to depression, lack of motivation, feeling stuck, difficulty connecting to loved ones, and overall dissatisfaction.  Large overwhelming emotions can manifest as anxiety, emotional outbursts, anger, feeling overwhelmed, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, engaging in an eating disorder, OCD, panic attacks, and many more. Our emotions are a wonderful part of our human experience when we interact with them well. They can tell us what is happening in our environment and give us insight to respond to our situations. Emotions are also the key to processing and understanding our past. My goal with you, my client, is to give you the skills and insights to interact with and manage your emotions. You can be fully integrated with yourself and, with a now whole heart, get to live a more full life.
