ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! I am a therapist with Jordan Psychological Center in Overland Park and am currently accepting new clients with little wait time! Mental health is my greatest passion, and I feel so fortunate to be able to serve the needs of this community.

I provide individual, couple and family therapy and specialize in teenagers and adults. I conceptualize concerns through an attachment and family systems perspective and apply solutions. I value evidence-based theories and interventions and holistic treatment getting to the root of the concerns. This brain based approach helps heal trauma, addictions, mood disorders and relationships. I have advanced training in emotionally focused therapy and Gottman Institute couples therapy. I have practiced in inpatient and outpatient settings and own a group therapy private practice. I look forward to helping you grow!

I believe that therapy can be fun, focused, serious, or emotional, depending on your needs and emotional state in the moment. I am a friendly therapist with a knack for making people feel comfortable and supported, balancing sincerity with humor.

Life can be challenging. Being able to process the challenges we face can be difficult to manage alone. I know, as I have not been immune to life's experiences. We are all relational, and this can be both a strength and a struggle. Families, friends, coworkers, classmates, and others can stir up challenges that might not make sense. Let's Process Your Life together and see where healing and change can take you and those you care most about. You are worth it!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions? My ideal client is anyone seeking support to navigate these difficulties and improve their overall well-being. Perhaps you're a new mother facing the joys and anxieties of pregnancy or postpartum or an individual navigating challenging circumstances. Regardless of your unique situation, I'm here to listen with empathy and understanding.

As said by Jim Rohn, “Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.” We all experience personal setbacks from time to time. Unfortunately, life does not and will never operate completely according to our own plans. When experiencing a setback or situation that requires a different approach, there is absolutely no shame in reaching out for assistance. The human spirit is one of survival and we all have the ability to persevere. It is my belief we are not defined by our weakness, personal struggles, and/or current circumstances.

Often times, I’ve noticed that people seeking therapy already intuitively know what they want, or even what their potential solutions may be – before stepping foot inside my office. What they may lack is the support towards making those desires a reality. That’s why my therapeutic approach is collaborative and centered around strengthening your voice and choice in your life. I won’t stand in front of you to pull you in this direction, or behind you, to push you in another; but rather you can find me walking beside you serving as your rock and partner in healing.

Taking a look at your life and realizing that you aren't happy, even though it seems like you "should" be, is tough. Even tougher is if you're a parent and feeling overwhelmed with this new identity, wondering how to be the best parent you can be, and also be able to find space for yourself at the same time. It isn't always easy to know which step will take you toward a more meaningful life. If you're reading this, you are taking a step to get the support you deserve so you can create a life you love and be the parent you hope to be. Your healing matters, and your story matters.

Are you walking through a season of grief + loss? Are you worried about your biggest fear happening? I know that feeling: depression, anxiety, and excessive worry. Seasons of uncertainty can be terrifying. And, when living through tragedy is your only option, making it to the next day can feel like a marathon. Friend, you don't have to walk this journey alone. My life experience and professional training have equipped me to come alongside others in a season of despair. Together we can cultivate the tools for rediscovering joy, confidence, self-esteem & purpose. Healing is hard work, and you are worthy of feeling free to live fully.
