We are not meant to live life alone, but rather deeply involved in relationships. Some of these relationships are highly successful, while others have come with great loss, significant struggle or just the every day difficulty of learning to live and enjoy life with another person. I believe in the value of working through personal problems in the context of building stronger relationships. I will help you work through this on a personal level or with whomever you are needing to have a restored relationship with.

Are you looking for therapy that is compassionate, kind, and leads to measurable improvements? Interested in receiving the best practices in psychology and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) proven to work repeatedly and tailored to you? If so, what about gaining tools so your improvement during therapy stays with you after you finish? As a licensed psychologist, researching and publishing work on best practices in mental health, I realized that too often these practices were not available everywhere therapy is offered. I started Leading Edge Therapy as a one-stop place to provide you with the most effective and latest treatments.

Not accepting new clients
I work exclusively on Zoom with adults and couples anywhere in Missouri or Kansas, most especially with clients working on grief and loss, including loss from death, divorce, miscarriage, stillbirth, or other more ambiguous losses. My practice is welcoming to survivors of loved ones who have completed suicide. I work with clients with depression, or those with anxiety and panic from driving fears. I like working with clients with behavioral addictions, especially shoplifting, as well as clients wanting to address their substance addictions, especially with alcohol or marijuana.

Obesity Therapists
Can obesity be a cause of depression and anxiety?
Yes. It can be stressful and debilitating to carry excess weight. Many people make inaccurate assumptions about people who are overweight. This stigma may lead individuals to feel badly about themselves, decreasing their self-esteem, or leading to feelings of worthlessness. An association between obesity and depression is well-established.
When should an individual seek treatment for obesity?
When obesity, or the feelings it causes, creates a disruption in your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Examples include avoiding social situations due to anxiety, an inability to participate in family life as a result of health problems, or poor performance at work due to low self-esteem or other concerns.
Are there specific medications for weight loss?
There are several prescription drugs that can help with weight loss, including semaglutide and phentermine. These drugs reduce appetite and must be prescribed by a physician. Professionals will suggest lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, before turning to drugs, which have side effects and typically are prescribed only for a short duration. Many people regain weight after taking weight loss drugs if they have not made significant lifestyle changes.
What is body positivity?
Body positivity is a cultural movement that promotes the acceptance of bodies of all sizes and types, rather than those that conform to societal ideals of beauty. It places self-worth, self-acceptance, and an appreciation for one’s body as goals to achieve a happier, healthier attitude about oneself and others, focusing on who a person is rather than what they look like.
