Life is hard and at times can leave us feeling overwhelmed or exhausted. This is not a sign something is wrong with us, but that we are daring to really live. Whether you are seeking to become a better version of yourself, struggling in an important relationship, or facing a life transition, therapy can provide the support you need to move forward. I work with individuals, couples, and families, helping them to become more present to themselves and others, enabling them to experience more peace, love, and joy in their daily lives.

Hello! I am a LMFT/ LCMFT licensed in IN, KS and MO. I have a virtual and in person practice in KCMO. My approach is focused on building tools, language, habits and behavior that supports a connection between the cognitive mind and the emotional self in order to create a sustainable deep change. I am an attentive non judgmental observer of the unique skills you bring to the table and a creative problem solver in applying them to stuck areas. This approach has lasting impacts on your relationship with partners, children, friends, work, activism and self.

I'm a Sex-Positive Relationship Therapist. I practice Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which integrates empirical evidence on what makes love last.

Childhood and adolescence are times of growth, imagination, beauty, and connection. Being a young person can also present its own unique challenges. Children and adolescents experiencing trauma, loss, mental health struggles, behavior issues at home or school or self esteem/body image issues need a safe, caring presence in their life to listen and walk with them toward healing and self-understanding. If your child or teen is struggling, or if you are a parent seeking a light at the end of the tunnel for your child's behaviors, I'm here to help.
