Bridget is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist in Kansas. She completed her counseling training at The University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon in 2005. Bridget has professional experience in child welfare, play therapy, trauma informed care, depression and anxiety treatment, and, most recently, working with children and parents involved in complicated divorce/child custody situations. She is passionate about ensuring that children’s needs are kept at the forefront of any decisions made. Solutions to issues require creativity and, very often, a complete change of mindset. When parents can work together at all stages of family transition, the children will stand the best chance to continue to thrive socially, emotionally, physically and in their education as well.

Bridget also greatly enjoys working with parents individually, when indicated, in order to help address thoughts and feelings that may be getting in the way of living their healthiest, happiest life. She works with adolescents and adults struggling with life’s ups and downs and ins and outs. The adage, “The only thing constant is change,” is very true, however cliché it may be. Bridget hopes to help her clients achieve peace and calm through their struggles and encourages clients to consider many options as well as to utilize all resources available when creating a solution.

In her free time, Bridget spends time with her family, including her 10-year-old daughter and their 3 rescue dogs. Bridget is passionate about pet rescue and holds an active role within a rescue organization in the Kansas City area. Bridget also enjoys reading and long walks, but not at the same time! She believes that life is fullest when there is a balance between responsibility and fun as well as a balance of humor and seriousness.
