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.

Life is an adventure with many situations. Sometimes when we are in the middle of our situations, we can't see clearly or we second guess ourselves and our decisions. As your counselor, I will listen to your stories and help you make sense of the issues that are causing stress, anxiety and depression. I would like to lead you to unlocking concerns that are nagging at you. Let’s work together to help you thrive at what seems unbearable and overcome the rough days.

Do you feel stuck, lost, or directionless in your life? Do you want to find options to achieve your goals and live your best life? If so, you are not alone, and I can help you. My name is Capri, I’m the owner of Ambitions Counseling. I specialize in helping people like you overcome the challenges that hold them back from reaching their full potential. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), with as needed sprinkles of mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and person-centered psychology to help you identify and change the negative thoughts, emotions and behaviors that keep you from living your desired best life.

Life can be so complicated. The ups, downs, and all arounds can sometimes be debilitating, confusing and all out frustrating. Life’s turbulence can also make you feel you’ve lost control and perhaps has left you struggling to navigate through obstacles. I would love to partner with you to help you realize the strength and resilience you have within to overcome and to manage. I teach vital tools to use in everyday life such as stress and anger management, coping skills, and the recognization of thought patterns that may affect your behaviors and emotions.

You sometimes feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and you don’t know where to start. Feeling stressed, irritated, sad, heavy, or hopeless happens to all of us, and it can be hard to show our feelings when we think no one will understand or that we will be judged. You are never alone even when you feel like you are! I am here to listen and to help you feel supported. Let’s work together to help you find more successful ways to utilize your current strengths and resilience in the face of life’s challenges.

When we become overwhelmed with stress of life and experience challenges, living can become difficult and painful. Therapy is a great journey to work through these issues to find hope and joy again. My practice focuses on working with Individuals, couples, adults, and young people who need relieve, and have a desire to feel whole again. I also have a passion to work with couples, who have experienced miscarriage and/or infant loss. If you or someone you love is facing challenges in life, do not go through it alone. Allow me to take the journey with you!

Mental health issues can manifest in unexpected ways. Do you experience unexplained irritability? Hyper-criticism of yourself and others? Mood swings without any clear cause? Feeling overwhelmed to the point of being unable to organize your day? If so, it's worth considering whether you may be struggling with trauma, anxiety, or depression. Perhaps you may be experiencing Relationship Trauma. Do you ever find yourself constantly questioning or doubting what you once believed to be true? Did everything seem perfect in the beginning, but now you can barely recognize the person in front of you?

As a Therapist, I understand the value of working towards having balance in all of the areas - physically, socially, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, sexually and financially. But sometimes it can get rough! Tough seasons are bound to come whether we'd like them to or not, but the focus can't solely be on the effects of the storm. Recognizing one's inner strength is crucial. This is something I have grown to better understand in my field of work as well as in my own personal journey. My therapeutic approach will be to aid you in realizing what you also truly possess inside through a variety of therapeutic modalities and Coaching.

Is the stress and anxiety of life getting you down? Does it seem like you will never overcome the emotional and physical pain you are experiencing? Are you stuck in behavioral patterns that derail financial success, impede relationships, and sabotage professional and personal growth? Pessimism, sadness, anger, and frustration, are real emotions with consequences, sometimes severe. They prevent you from enjoying your best life. Feeling stuck, unloved/cared for, worthless, and a failure is no fun. If it seems you are destined to live out this unfulfilling and, at times, hopeless life; take heart. Hope is just a phone call away!

Living each day with intention can energize and fulfill us while enhancing the lives of those around us. Intentional living begins with letting go of emotional pain. By examining our present life we can determine if the life we are living today is the life we want or is it one based on our old way of thinking and feeling. With the prescriptive eclectic approach to psychotherapy, the psychotherapist customizes treatment to the specific needs of individual patient. The end result of prescriptive matching is a more efficient, applicable, and efficacious therapy that meets the client's current needs.
