I moved to Kansas in 2013 after marrying and have loved being here since. I love spending time with my husband and the rest of my family and friends who mean the world to me. I am fortunate to come from a large family, whom I wouldn’t trade for the world. I have first-hand experience and understanding related to a person’s “family of origin” dynamics, strengths, and challenges. I am passionate and dedicated to the mental health career field and truly believe it "chose me". I graduated from Bellevue University in Bellevue, NE, with a Master's Degree in Human Services-Clinical Counseling and a Master's Degree in Advanced Clinical Counseling. I have completed extensive education and training in addictions evaluation and counseling. I completed my clinical internships at local agencies working with mental/behavioral health and addiction disorders. I received extensive training and outstanding mentoring in all levels of care, including residential, inpatient, outpatient, and aftercare counseling services. I have a wide range of skills and interests, including, co-occurring disorders assessments and therapeutic interventions. A few of my specialties include couples and family therapy, anxiety disorders, trauma-related disorders, severe and persistent mental health conditions, male and female-specific challenges, LGBT, and personality disorders. I have been educated in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I’ve been fortunate to have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric clients. I specialize in all mental/behavioral health disorders, substance abuse/addictions disorders, and relationship issues. My number one priority is on the client because each client deserves to be treated with the highest level of dignity, respect, and effective care/treatment. I am so glad you've stopped by to learn a little more about me and I look forward to hearing from you. Walking alongside you in your "Road of Self-discovery!" Angela D.

Challenges in life are essential to human growth and development, but sometimes these stressful events in life can become overwhelming. Anxiety, depressed moods, anger, irritability, acting out and even addictive and/or compulsive type behaviors are natural responses once internal coping skills have been exhausted. These symptoms can have devastating effects on relationships, work and many other life domains. However, with the assistance of a skilled therapist, these symptoms can be managed and relief is possible. Seeking the right mental health provider can be an overwhelming process. As a MH professional for 30 yrs., in a variety of mental health treatment settings, we will create new coping skills and capitalize on your strengths as a survivor. Individual self-defined goals will be developed, which will create a life that is meaningful and worth living. I have found everyone has a life story and it is essential it be heard, nurtured and its associated feelings validated. This life story sets the foundation for the healing process. Feel free to reach out to me, if you have any questions about the services, I can offer. I am currently accepting new clients.
