If you often feel caught in patterns that pull you back, struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, overwhelming emotions, or find it difficult to trust and connect in relationships, you are not alone. You may be trying to understand why these feelings and symptoms persist and longing for a way to live with more freedom, balance, and ease. Whether you’ve experienced trauma or simply want to break habits that no longer serve you, you deserve a supportive space to explore your story and move toward the life you hope for.
I will help you break old patterns, heal from trauma, and navigate overwhelming emotions through a warm, relational, psychodynamic approach. Using IFS and AEDP, we gently explore what’s beneath the surface so you can feel more secure, connected, and empowered in your life and relationships.
I work with individuals ages 12 and up, couples, and groups, addressing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, dissociation, and emotional regulation.I would be honored to support you on this path to healing. I currently offer in-person sessions in Downtown KC/West Bottoms. Please reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
