Therapists in Mosby, MO

What it’s like to come in for therapy? Therapy is about sharing vulnerability that you may not have experienced before, or at least not experienced positively before. We’re not friends, but we have a connection that we build that is professionally intimate and caring. Therapy is about analysis and making meaning of things that you have gone through and are presently dealing with. Sometimes that presents challenges to a person, things that are occurring with us are tough to look at and face- that’s why I’m here. I will help you look at things that are hard to take in and help you to either accept and appreciate or accept and change.

I believe humans are resilient. If you are reading this today, that means you too. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are experiencing difficult life transitions in their faith, careers, and relationships (familial, marital, parenting, or the challenges of trying to become a parent). It can be painful to feel stuck, unsure, or out of place in many of the relationships and environments you find yourself. In my office, all parts of your identity are welcome without shame or judgement. There is no such thing as a taboo topic, but it is important to me that you take things at your own pace.

Hi there! At the the core of great therapy is the therapeutic relationship between the client and their therapist. I believe very strongly in the positive changes that can occur as a result of therapy. We all have various emotional needs that can be addressed and benefit from the therapeutic process. I am passionate about serving children, adolescents, adults and families. By partnering with my clients, I see tremendous growth towards their goals and improvement in general well being. When working with children and teens, I take a systems approach and work closely with caregivers to provide the most comprehensive care possible.

Do you feel overwhelmed by all the different aspects of life we're somehow supposed to juggle? Do your unpredictable moods and anxiety affect your relationships? Have you ever felt like you just don't know what the next step should be in your life? You can overcome these challenges. And you don't have to do it alone. I specialize in helping those with anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles take those next steps with confidence, repair relationships, and bring growth and new insight to their lives.

Let my office be a judgment-free, secure space to explore and get curious about what's happening for you and in your life. A place to ask and answer tough questions; like, how you got here, where you want to go, and what you need to get there. Let's work on coping skills, healing strategies, and building strong healthy connections with yourself and others. I invite you to listen to your inner guidance and give yourself permission to create the life you want to live. I'd love to walk along side you on this path.

Do you feel alone, like no one understands you and like you don’t even understand yourself? Do you feel exhausted because life is a heavy weight much of the time? Do you wonder if there is something inside you that is blocking you from living a better and more satisfying life? I believe that it is possible to dislodge those barriers. We start with recognizing patterns of overreaction and self-defeating behaviors. I help you develop the compassion for yourself that allows healing and I teach the skills that regulate your emotions and allow you to look at and respond to the world in a different way.

Do you feel alone, and like no one cares? I care about you and your well being. I want to help you win against the struggles you are facing. You are capable of more than you think and I want to bring out the best in you. I am confident that i can help you. I want to be a shoulder to lean on emotionally as well as to cry on. I love working with new people, of all differences, and diversities. Given the chance, I would love to serve and care for you in your time of need.

For many of us the hardest part about doing therapy is figuring out where to begin. The good news is that you don't have to know, all you have to do is start. One thing I've noticed in the time I've been doing this is that all roads seem to lead to the same place, so it doesn't matter where you start because eventually you will get wherever you need to go.

I am a counselor who enjoys helping others to see their potential, work through their struggles, bond families together again, and help individuals reach their personal goals! There is nothing more gratifying to me than to see someone take the courageous step to work through a difficult situation and grow in their self-esteem, self-worth, and identity.

Thank you for visiting. This is the first step to becoming a more fulfilled person. I am licensed as a clinical social worker in Missouri (LCSW) with over 25 years experience working with children, families, individuals and couples in multiple settings including in-patient, in-home and private practice. I also have five years experience as an employee assistance program clinician and brief problem focused therapy.

Specializing in assisting individuals embodying traditional masculine qualities, I navigate sexual addiction, trauma, anxiety, or relationship challenges. Committed to providing a secure and professional space for your journey towards relief and healing, my approach prioritizes tangible outcomes and practical solutions. Your well-being is at the forefront as we work together to address the intricacies of your experiences and foster positive transformation.

Life can be hard. It’s full of challenging times and transitions. Past hurts and trauma can keep us stuck, overwhelmed, and paralyzed to move forward. Processing these challenges can be difficult to manage alone. The good news is that we do not have to navigate them alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you through whatever you are currently facing. I strive to provide a safe and caring space where you can address current stressors and explore past hurts to help you find healing and connection.

Relationships are tricky - even the one you have with yourself. They can be an amazing part of life when running smoothly, but when life throws you a curve ball things can quickly change. Maybe you're struggling with past experiences, low self-esteem or low self-worth, or continuously attracting the wrong type of partner. Maybe your relationship is suffering due to boundaries being crossed, trust being broken, or life changes altering the way your move through the world. When this happens, it can feel almost impossible to get your life back to equilibrium. But I promise, it's not.

Suffering, while valuable, doesn’t have to define you or your story. If you’re wanting to move beyond old hurts, or feeling stuck despite desiring change, together we can re-author your story to include healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and being. In addition to my office in Brookside, KCMO, I also offer sessions via Telehealth for those who are unable to leave home or feel it is a better fit.

Life is messy but good therapy ends. Curious about therapy or psychedelic medicine? If you came here looking for support, be encouraged. There are answers your questions. When will I feel better? What will it take for me or my relationship to change? What keeps getting in the way of my healing? The quality of your life is crafted from your decisions. Decisions can be intentional or passive, we create and re-create our lives every day. Struggle can be our greatest call to courage and the clearest path to your best life. Your breakthrough is waiting. Relationship counseling, executive coaching & individual therapy offered.

Life presents challenges that are difficult to face alone, and trusting someone to hold your thoughts and emotions as sacred takes courage. I consider it an honor to walk with you, side by side, through your journey of transformation, healing and restoration. I seek to connect the body and the brain to dig deeper, at your pace. Creating and being a safe, inviting, warm and connected space is a passion of mine. It is such a privilege to bear witness to people reclaiming themselves and finding freedom from trauma!

I find that I work well with clients who have had relational trauma that affects their current relationships with themselves and others. This can often present in the form of negative self-talk and self-esteem, perfectionism, persistent feelings of guilt and shame, anxiety, and depression. I have ample experience working specifically with those who have a history of abuse from a partner, friend, or family member, adult children of narcissistic parents, LGBTQIA+, religious trauma, exvangelical.

Do you feel as though you lack confidence in your ability to express yourself in relationships? Are you having a hard time finding affirmation and support for your needs or desires? Maybe you feel inauthentic in your roles or relationships and uncertain in your ability to change these uncomfortable aspects of your life. The therapeutic relationship can provide an affirming space for you to build confidence in yourself. It can be a place to explore your needs and wants and develop strategies to align yourself with them.
