Access Team Clinician

How I help:
As an Access Clinician, I am often one of the first people clients speak with when beginning the process of seeking help for themselves or their children. I provide a safe, supportive space where individuals can talk openly about their experiences, thoughts, and emotions, how these challenges are affecting their lives, and what they hope to change or improve. For many, this is the first time they have shared these concerns, and it can feel overwhelming. My goal is to help ease those fears, offer hope, and ensure clients feel heard, supported, and empowered as they take their first steps toward healing and growth.

My specialties:
I specialize in intake services and diagnostic evaluations, with additional experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and treatment for sexual offending and other unhealthy behaviors or thought patterns. My work focuses on helping individuals access appropriate care while laying a strong foundation for ongoing treatment.

More about me:
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Wichita State University and my master’s degree in Counseling from Fort Hays State University. Prior to joining Pawnee, I worked for nine years with a private agency providing evaluations and group and individual therapy to adults and adolescents involved with parole, probation, community corrections, and federal probation. Before that, I spent ten years as a therapist at Larned State Hospital in the Sexual Predator Treatment Program and previously served as head of the Social Work Department at the Larned Juvenile Correctional Facility.

I live in Manhattan with my husband of 41 years and enjoy spending time with our two adult children and four grandchildren. Outside of work, I love following sports—especially K-State football, men’s and women’s basketball, and the Kansas City Chiefs—along with reading, crocheting, knitting, sewing, and cross-stitching. I also enjoy time with our two dogs and am always trying to convince my husband that we need just one more.
