She has a wide range of education and life experiences, in multiple therapeutic settings, including nursing in family practice, community health care and oncology, and in a church setting to provide grief care classes. These experiences have encouraged her to offer a gentle and warm environment, paired with honest and straight forward authentic communication.  Darla has a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Kansas, and has her license as a Specialist Clinical Social Worker in the state of Kansas.  She is also a Registered Nurse, and completed her Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Wichita State University.

 

She sees clients in person and virtually, from ages 14 to adult. She is credentialed with most commercial insurances, as well as Medicare and Medicaid.  When she is not engaged in counseling, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, hosting various events, baking, running, and decorating spaces to create a beautiful and welcoming environment.

 

She welcomes the opportunity to assist you in your work to heal, change, grow, and meet your goals through the journey of life.  She looks forward to partnering with you and providing an environment where you feel safety, trust, and compassion which then leads you towards growth and healing.
