Therapists in Kansas City, KS
I am an LPC (MO) and LCPC (KS) who specializes in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, military and first responder trauma, and LGBTQIA-related issues. Throughout my years as a clinician, I have learned that the best therapy is done when a positive connection and therapeutic trust can be built and maintained. I work to make therapy a safe place for clients to open up and feel supported and valued. Therapy can be intense and hard at times, I work to keep a positive balance between seriousness and humor. I am a person-centered therapist and I believe in encouraging and challenging my clients to grow.

You have the capacity to live a life aligned with your core beliefs and principles, but this is often easier said than done. From traumatic events both personal and in the community, eco-anxiety, creative blocks, grief, loss, abuse, addictions, low self-esteem, there are many obstacles to name and to know on the way to a self-generative life. My role is to collaborate with you, to create a safe space, to speak frankly without judgement, and to foster a journey of self-discovery, authentic living and transformation within a complex world. "We go through life. We shed our skins. We become ourselves."- Patti Smith.

Each one of us have our own life story. In this story there could be pain, hurt, regret and happiness. As a therapist for over 30 years I have heard many stories of people at different life stages. As your therapist, I want to learn your past and present story to hear where you have been and then help you write your next chapter for a healthy future. This is done by setting goals to know where you are headed. I would love the opportunity to help you write a best selling novel of your life.

If you’re feeling stretched thin or unsure of your next step, I offer a supportive space to help you gain clarity, confidence, and direction. Let’s work together so you can live authentically and thrive.

Many of the problems we endure , and even the solutions we reach for, are shaped by a self-image we may not fully recognize or understand. Often, people come to therapy feeling stuck, frustrated, anxious, disconnected, or caught in repeating patterns they cannot quite explain. My work is centered on helping clients uncover the unspoken beliefs, emotional wounds, and inner conflicts that may be getting in the way of living more freely and fully.

It may seem easier to let uncomfortable feelings and frustrations stew inside you or avoid them altogether. That’s just how some of us learned to get by day-to-day. But there is a better way – one where you don’t just get by but learn to thrive! You can work through childhood trauma, tackle anxiety and stress, gain interpersonal skills, repair relationships, and become the person you can and want to be. I’m here to help you be the best you! If that means you’re on a solid life path but need someone to talk to so you can keep on it, I can be that sounding board. Or, if what you’re doing isn’t working and you need a new plan.

Are you carrying a heaviness you can’t quite name or shake?
Perhaps you’ve lost someone—a partner, parent, friend, or part of yourself—and grief is showing up in unexpected ways (anger, numbness, exhaustion, identity-shift). Or maybe you’re navigating a big life transition like perimenopause, shifting roles, caregiving, or changing relationships and you’re trying to make sense of who you are now.
I help folks navigating grief—from new bereavement to complicated losses—find grounding, hope, and a path forward. I also offer sensitive support around midlife shifts like perimenopause.

I work primarily with adult women (18+) in Texas, Kansas, and Florida who may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, or struggling with anxiety, stress, self-worth, burnout, or major life transitions. Many clients come to therapy feeling emotionally drained, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of how to move forward. Through a supportive and collaborative approach, I help clients better understand patterns that may be keeping them seeing the same results.

I see each person as a lotus, unfolding gracefully despite life's challenges—much like how it grows beautifully in the mud. We all deal with stress, fears, worries, and tough times that can make life overwhelming or lonely. My goal is to create a safe space where you can learn to navigate these ups and downs and realize that you're not alone on this journey. Growing up in a Vietnamese household in an American society has given me unique insights, inspiring me to become a mental health counselor. I understand the struggle of finding someone relatable to talk to, so I'll focus on creating a trusting and warm relationship between us.
