Therapists in Jackson County, MO
Making the choice to begin therapy is not a sign of weakness; choosing to deal with stressors is actually a sign of incredible strength. Therapy is for everyone. Life is crazy and often hard, and we are not pre-programmed with all the answers. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed and unclear on how to make things better. I know that you and your relationships are worth the time and investment. My areas of specialization include working with couples to communicate more respectfully and authentically and helping adult individuals navigate life transitions.

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.

If you’re grieving the loss of family relationships due to going low or no contact, you don’t have to face it alone. Many of my clients feel caught between the pain of losing a relationship and wanting time to heal. Estrangement can stem from family conflict, identity-based rejection, or personal boundaries that aren’t respected. I offer a space to explore and honor who you are and what matters to you, whether you’re committed to remaining estranged, uncertain, or somewhere in between. Together, we can focus on gaining insights and building skills that stay with you.

If you are like many of the adults, children, and couples who see me, you may feel like you are living life on hard-mode, struggling with emotional ups and downs, working hard, yet often feeling overwhelmed.

It can be difficult to gain the support we need to face life's many challenges. Many husbands and fathers are lonely, stressed, or confused about their relationships. The role of mother caring for children or daughter for an elderly parent can feel relentless. Perhaps you have pain you've pushed away for many years making you feel trapped or lost. Counseling can provide the opportunity to safely discuss and express the things we do not or cannot share in our day to day lives. I utilize an interpersonal and solutions focused approach to help unpack your struggles, process your pain, and build practical strategies to move forward.

I have been a clinical social worker in the mental health field since 1998. I want to first acknowledge that I live and work on the ancestral lands of the Kansa, Osage and Kickapoo Nations. I honor the elders past and present of these nations. As a trauma therapist, I recognize the devastating cost of US colonial policies and actions to these peoples.
