I am available for in-person sessions in Fayette or via telehealth for anyone in Missouri.
I work from an attachment lens meaning I enjoy diving deep with clients and helping them understand how their childhood experiences may be affecting them today. I help clients develop self-compassion, tap into their playful and creative side, identify and express emotions, and improve relationships.

I am working virtually and in-person at this time.
I believe relationships are central to our core being. Therapy is an opportunity for empowerment within ourselves and in our relationships. Whether it is the lack of support from our parents or our partners, unresolved trauma or PTSD, persistent anxiety or depression, or the desire to live more authentically with those closest to us, embarking on a path toward healing is a courageous first step. As you begin on this path, you will learn to communicate more authentically, feel more centered, and develop multiple ways of dealing with life’s challenges.

Jungian analytic work understands that life is unpredictable. Everyone struggles at some point in life. Sometimes the accompanying suffering tears at the very fabric of our understanding of ourselves and how we fit in the world. Life no longer makes sense. Life is not the way you thought it would be or should be. Unbidden desires, anxieties or depression come in to interfere with your ability to live the life you want. Others in your life behave in ways that disrupt your peace of mind and ability to live a meaningful life. Issues you thought you had dealt with long ago resurface in the present.

I offer in person sessions at my office in the historic West Bottoms of KC.
Transitions are hard, and life is full of them. Even though growing up, taking on innumerable firsts, and consistently feeling brand new is a part of the human experience, it can feel like with each new change you are losing a little part of who you are. Therapy is a great choice for finding the ‘you’ in the midst of transition. Whether you’re at your first ‘grown up’ job, adjusting to a pregnancy or new baby, newly engaged or uncoupled, or wondering how to make your relationship work now that the kids have all left the nest, you have not lost yourself.

Do you find that sometimes you don't seem "to fit" or that you struggle to live in a world that was designed for and by the neurotypical? Do you find that you need someone to talk with or get understanding through assessment? Have you wondered if you might be neurodivergent or have ADHD or Autism? If yes, let's work together!

Life is sometimes overwhelming. You worry that things can’t get better. You feel stuck and angry about past pain and trauma. It’s difficult to be in your head trying to “just get it right” and feeling like nothing works. On the outside you may look like you have it all together, but on the inside, you feel like a failure and unsure. You are off track, feeling lost, not like yourself. You’ve tried various changes, maybe even attended therapy before, but you keep ending up with the same unsatisfying relationships, repeating the same unhelpful behaviors, and feeling stuck.

I typically work with adults (over 45 and often older folks above the age of 60) of various races & ethnicities, genders & sexualities, religions & spiritualities. All are welcome. Jungian analysis is a journey of profound self-discovery. It may be that the depths of the psyche ask for a different life experience! Symptoms like depression, anxiety, relationship / sexuality issues can begin the exploration of what a more meaningful & interesting life might look like. Note: This type of therapy is not a 'quick fix' process. As of April 2025, I am accepting new clients.

More than anything, you want to be able to share these thoughts and feelings that you have and be reassured you are not alone in this.
