You overthink and over-plan. You find it difficult to make decisions. Perhaps you feel anxious in social situations or dread doing the activities you once enjoyed. You are striving to keep everything perfect and would rather implode than disappoint someone. Or maybe the opposite - you find yourself getting angry or defensive when others try to help.

But how do you find a therapist in Kansas City, MO you can fully trust? One that you can connect with? Let me help.

As humans, we are each created for connection and when personal connections are bent or broken it can cause problems in our lives. I strive to create a space to allow emotional exploration and vulnerability without judgment or criticism. We each have the capacity to experience joy through our own acceptance and love for self and others and when we experience acceptance and love from another we can find that joy. I desire to walk alongside each person as they explore their own unique journey. I also have a Masters Level Intern that can see client for as low as $30 per session.

Sometimes it's a struggle being a human being, right? Seeking out therapy can be the first step in untangling some of the stuck points we can carry. I believe that individuals and families are the experts of their own lives and it is my role to offer a safe, non-judgmental space to collaborate, process, or challenge previous ways of thinking or acting. I welcome the opportunity to walk with you in overcoming obstacles on your path to wellness.

I have worked with children, teens, adults and families in many capacities in my career. I use evidence-based treatments to help my clients heal from their trauma.

I truly look forward to helping you on your journey from hurt to hope!

As a therapist specializing in helping women feel heard, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where my clients can explore their thoughts and emotions, develop coping strategies, and cultivate self-awareness and resilience. You will learn how to build healthy relationships, improve self-esteem and reduce anxiety. Through a compassionate and evidence-based approach, our therapist empowers you to reach your goals and process what you need. Navigating the complexities of relationships, whether they're personal, professional, or familial, can be challenging.

Do you feel emotionally exhausted or stuck with the weight of life stressors or traumatic and painful experiences? Do you feel you spend a lot of your time trying to make sure everyone else is ok before you care for yourself? We can have a strong inner critic or develop coping strategies that at one point may have served us to protect ourselves, but now may be hindering our ability to connect and love ourselves or others. I want to help you connect back to yourself and values so you can go from surviving to thriving. Therapy can provide a healing space for you to let go of pain and let love and acceptance back into your life.

It’s hard to get out of bed each morning. There was a time when you were hopeful about life, but that seems like long ago. That was before all your troubles started. Now, every day feels more difficult than the last. Your kids treat you like their personal assistant. You just got in another fight with your husband, and you’re not even sure what it was about. You try to concentrate at work, but your mind is always racing, darting in countless different directions. In the rare instance that you’re able to carve aside a moment for yourself, you feel guilty about it. It’s getting to the point where you just want to run away and hide.
