Morgan is often described as a warm, welcoming “old soul." She believes that description is mostly true because of the challenges she has survived and overcome. Her life experiences have led her to become a counselor, and now that she is on the “lifeboat,” she wants to reach out and help others climb aboard.    Morgan works with children, adolescents, and young adults and utilizes a combination of person-centered, dialectical and cognitive behavioral, rational emotive, narrative, and family systems therapies. She is aware of the uniqueness each client and works to adapt her approach to each individual’s needs. Her approach to counseling is strength-based, and she respects individuals from all backgrounds.    Morgan sees clients for a variety of reasons, including low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship and behavioral issues, childhood trauma, suicidal ideation, self-harm behaviors, emotional healing, and spiritual growth. She likes to use the analogy that her clients are in the driver’s seat, while she is in the passenger seat with directions. She can help her clients navigate through their struggles and teach them valuable coping skills, and it is her clients who ultimately hold the power to change. Whether you are treading water, on the lifeboat, or driving to your next destination, you don’t have to make the journey alone! Morgan would love to make that journey with you.

Sarah’s perspective is that life is complicated and it's easy to get lost along the way as people face their own struggles like fear, insecurity, shame, and worry. If those struggles are kept in the dark, they'll only take root and trip people up while making them start to forget truth. It's only by bringing those dark places into the light that those roots can vanish and truth can be seen and grow in ways never imagined. She considers it a joy to partner with others through that process and remove the stigma in seeking help. Sarah graduated from Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and from Richmont Graduate University with a Master of Arts in marriage and family therapy. She then served in two private practices and two other universities as their counselor. She has loved working with teens, young adults, women, moms, individuals, and couples. Her current place of practice, Tapestry, thrives in a warm, inviting, and safe environment where the counseling staff is a family who’s dedicated to joining with their clients wherever they are in the journey and walking with them to greater wholeness and healing.
