I am currently seeing clients both in person and online and have a short waitlist at this time.
Do you wish there was someone out there that understood you? Do you feel separate from others, different somehow and struggle to find someone to relate to? Possibly you feel inauthentic in your relationships with others or in the roles that you find yourself in. Human connection is something that we all need and strive for and yet is difficult to obtain at times especially with our fast-paced, individual-centric lives. The therapeutic relationship can provide a safe space to explore identities, challenge obstacles to connection and learn to overcome our difficulties in new and exciting ways.

Life can often feel overwhelming. We may find ourselves facing crises, grappling with loss, or questioning our paths. In these moments, it’s normal to seek clarity and support. My approach is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings. Together, we can delve into your unique story, helping you find your voice amidst the chaos.

Sometimes life feels heavy. Problems in your relationships, trouble at work, the isolation of this day and age. Maybe you had a difficult childhood that you can't seem to break away from. It can all feel like too much sometimes, bringing up intense feelings of anxiety, anger, depression, loneliness, and grief. If any of this sounds familiar, I can definitely help. I work with adults and couples struggling with intense emotions. My clients often want to understand how their past experiences and traumas have impacted their current difficulties. They also want to learn how to create a more peaceful and enthusiastic life for themselves.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri and Kansas, I use various therapeutic modalities to respectfully connect with adolescents and adults based on the needs of each individual. I completed EMDR training to help individuals work through traumatic events and target negative thinking. After learning about the impact of trauma on the brain, my interest in neuroscience led me to complete a concentrated training program in Neurofeedback to explore the benefits of its non-invasive, self-healing power to balance dysregulation in the brain.

Meeting with you in person allows me the opportunity to incorporate a variety of trauma informed interventions and in vivo experiences.
Do you worry that if others learned about the “real you” they wouldn’t like you? Are your emotions driving your behaviors, leaving you and those around you drained? Do you struggle with addictive behaviors? You are not alone! Growing up in a dysfunctional family, I didn’t learn how to cope with my emotions and often felt lonely and afraid. My 35-year recovery journey gives me a unique perspective of what it means to live a life worth living. When we meet, I want you to feel safe and understood so that someday you can reflect on this challenging time and be grateful you were brave enough to take the steps toward healing.

I am primarily an IFS therapist specializing in work with the LGBTQIA+ community. Therapy in my office is about amplifying your authentic voice over all the noise. Anti- racism and fighting all oppression is central to my practice. I’m neurodivergent and love working with others who fall into this category (with or without an “official diagnosis”).

Saturdays: in person.
Sometimes the weight of the world feels really heavy, and you need someone to help you hold that weight. Kids and teens, maybe you're looking for someone who understands that you feel this too, even though you are young. Educators and parents, you know this feeling all too well. You want to talk to someone who knows from firsthand experience and isn't going to try to dismiss your experience or use phrases like "it's a calling" or "enjoy this while it lasts." Therapy can provide a safe space to help you move your needs from the bottom of your to do list and live your life in a way that honors your values and dignity.

I hold two fundamental beliefs about all humans; firstly, I believe every individual is infinitely unique. Secondly, I think every person can grow and be better than they are today. I believe my job is to help you find the tools and resources you need to continue growing. My favorite aspect of therapy is that it can be tailored to individuals' authentic thoughts, feelings, experiences, needs, or desires.

Conducting in person sessions while following COVID safety precautions and guidelines.

Please Note: I do NOT Accept Insurance. Racism is tough! We all live with various levels of stress and anxiety caused by the numerous elements in our lives. But living under the constant stress, pressure, and anxiety of racism adds another level of tension to our relationships with our family, our co-workers, our community, and ourselves.

I can help any person who has lost the thread of meaning in their life. A person who might even be asking themselves, What is the point of continuing on? There might be past traumas, depression and/or anxiety, perhaps harmful behaviors they can't seem to shake. There might be a great deal of fear. But ultimately, they need a fresh perspective on what it means for them to be alive, and to regain the sense that their choices matter.
