authentic and compassionate therapy for young adults and teens

Cannon Counseling and Wellness

At Cannon Counseling and Wellness in Olathe, Kansas, I provide a gentle, welcoming therapy space where teens, young adults, and women can feel safe, supported, and truly heard. I specialize in helping clients who are navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, OCD, or feelings of being stuck. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you and develop practical tools to move forward with confidence, resilience, and ease.

My approach incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and self-compassion, helping you build resilience, reduce stress, and create a life that feels balanced, authentic, and meaningful. Whether you’re seeking individual therapy for anxiety, teen therapy, young adult therapy, or support during life changes, I’m here to help you move toward your goals in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.
