I am Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri and Kansas. I describe myself as empathetic, warm, and calm and I enjoy developing a connection and a collaborative relationship with clients to help them understand the impact of anxiety, stress, and depression while also helping them learn and develop skills to manage their emotions and develop effective problem-solving skills that reinforce personal growth and improve overall mental and physical health.

I dedicate my time to finding ways to help individuals, couples, and families grow. Through my non-confrontational, straight-forward approach I seek to help you and your loved ones identify personal strengths, achieve goals, have improved relationships and effective communication patterns. With all clients I strive to help you have "ah-ha" moments of clarity while dealing with current feelings of frustration in life. Within couples and families I aim to help you understand each other's needs; emotionally, physically, and spiritually. It is my goal to work with you and your loved ones to find solutions that fit your needs.

I believe in the power of collaborating with clients to help them achieve their goals for a fulfilling life. I have helped thousands of individuals and couples figure out their path, including pre-marriage, marriage counseling, separation, divorce and blended families. These are big questions and struggles mixed with complex and difficult questions. I also work with individuals living with depression, anxiety and hopelessness. I won't judge you and you can ask questions in a safe, secure environment with a caring professional. I uniquely understand the legal issues around divorce and how to emotionally navigate that path.

I have been working with clients since 1991. Over the course of my training and experience, my style of therapy has evolved to an integrative approach combining humanistic, feminist, and psychodynamic theories of personality development with an approach that emphasizes the adaptive development of identity across the lifespan within broad interpersonal, social, and cultural contexts. I seek to find what is working well for you, help you understand the experiences that brought you to this place in your life, and use your strengths to help you grow and develop insight as well as create behavioral change.

Your struggle is REAL. Maybe those closest to you don't understand it. Maybe they ask you, 'why can't you just let it go?' Maybe you even ask yourself this sometimes, and come up with no good answer.

If you would like your 'past' to STOP being your 'present,' please give me a call.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to visit my page. Many times, we feel like we should be able to just "pull through" but can never seem to truly feel better. I specialize in working with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, severe trauma, and lbgtq clients. I will honor your courage to ask for help. Clients that I have worked with in the past have stated that I am warm, easy to talk to, and provide a sense of safety where they can feel free to process thoughts/emotions free from judgement.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults, adolescents, children and families.

I believe you have taken the first step of your journey toward healing by seeking a therapist. By using an empowerment and strength-based approach, I guide others in utilizing their own strengths and assets to resolve and heal their struggles and improve the quality of their life, in addition to living a more fulfilled life. It is very important for you, as the client, to feel comfortable with your therapist so that honesty and rapport can be built. I look forward to working with you.

I specialize in psychological assessment, including assessment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, problems with math, and problems with writing. I provide autism evaluations, as well as assessments for many other types of behavioral and emotional concerns. I also specialize in evaluations to assess for giftedness and am involved with a variety of gifted groups.

I work with clients of all ages, from young children to adults.

I help people gain freedom from their issues with a revolutionary technique taught by my mentor, Marisa Peer, voted Britain’s best therapist. With RTT I can fix anything from skin conditions to weight issues, to phobias, to addictions, to chronic illness and disease, in just 1-3 sessions. I’m still seeing traditional therapy clients, but since my accreditation in RTT, I’m focusing on moving my practice to exclusively RTT and coaching clients. My target client includes anyone who has been unable to fix or heal from any type of issue, they’ve tried other ways, but have been unsuccessful! RTT is the missing link that can free you!

I specialize in working with individuals, couples and families experiencing challenges within the family system, which often show up as belligerent teens, difficulties in relationships, anxiety, depression, as well as the myriad issues that arise in the general navigation of life. These issues may include parenting issues, grief and loss, relationships, being part of the sandwich generation, work/life balance. I truly believe you already have the knowledge and wisdom needed to address these issues. As we work together, I will support and guide you as you gain clarity and identify steps to navigate your current challenges.

I am a psychologist working in my group practice with a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology. I work with adults in individual therapy, as well as in couples therapy. I have particular expertise in working with individuals who experience depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and poor self-image.

Are you struggling with depression, fear, anxiety, overwhelmed by all the life’s demands or simply feel stuck? Are you haunted by wounds of past abuse or trauma, asking yourself how you can make this pain stop? Are you struggling in relationships and no longer experiencing joy? Are you using food or other unhelpful habits as coping mechanisms? You can recover. I have helped numerous people work through their pain and find relief from similar challenges when they take the first step to seek professional help. You will bring joy back into your life through inner child work, mindfulness and EMDR therapy including EMDR Intensives.

Most of my clients come to me because they’re struggling with their sex life and they’re pretty sure it’s all their fault. They’re not having the kind of sex that they want or sex has just become an enormous problem in their relationship. I often find that at the root of these issues surrounding sexuality is shame. Sometimes that shame is connected to: poor self-esteem or body image, believing you don’t deserve sexual pleasure, a belief that whatever you’re into is just too "weird" and you want to feel “normal” but can’t shake this particular desire, or societal & cultural expectations of gender roles.
