Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Kansas City, MO

Life throws so much at us. Often our natural instinct is to cling to the happy times and push away pain and suffering. However, learning to accept difficult situations and accept change is possible through guidance and feedback. Learning to act effectively to accept change and to face the places where we need to improve is an act of courage that does not appear overnight. I believe in evidence-based and practical strategies to help my clients improve their lives and emotional well-being. I believe that change is not only possible but inevitable.

Whether the change you seek is to improve your ability to cope with a difficult situation from your past or to learn new ways to manage current challenges in your daily life, we can find a way together to accomplish these goals. My role as your therapist will be to offer support as you discover your own path toward healing and fulfillment. I'll offer an insight-driven, solutions-focused, and skills-based supportive approach to help you successfully make the changes you desire in your life.

I am a counselor and yoga teacher specializing in mindfulness-based interventions for healing anxiety, depression, and trauma. I began my counseling career with a background of nearly 20 years teaching yoga, meditation, and mindfulness to groups and individuals. I integrate the tools and techniques of yoga practice and theory with more traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy, DBT , and EMDR, in order to treat people holistically - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Life is difficult for all of us at times, and it can be normal to become stuck in survival mode following traumatic events or severe life stressors. My heartfelt passion is to facilitate the gap between these temporary survival modes of reaction and a lifestyle that has you or your loved one feeling safe and living in a way that feels unshakably true to yourself and your ideals.

Life is a journey, a journey that is most difficult when traveled alone. I strive to walk with clients on their path towards healing and happiness. Working from a client-centered approach, it is essential for me to understand each client as an individual to develop trust and a partnership in therapy. Relationships, trauma, careers and other stressors take a toll on a person's ability to flourish. I believe that each person has potential for growth from those experiences. My goal is to help you regain your footing on your path to living a full and vibrant life.

My profound interest in the simultaneous effects of distress on the mind, body and relationships and my desire to help people of all ages heal, build resilience, confidence, and healthy connections led me to this valuable profession.

Hi, I'm glad you're here. Are you anxious, depressed, or feeling overwhelmed? Are you a couple feeling distant or trapped in conflict? Are you grieving, feeling stuck, or looking for someone to help you process emotions? It’s ok to feel overwhelmed and ask for help. Fortunately, we all have an innate capacity for healing and transformation, given the right conditions and a little support. In therapy, we’ll work to nurture well-being and restore inner harmony. I’ll listen to your goals, and help you gain the healing, insight, and emotional awareness you need to live from your self-at-best—and continue to do so when our work is done.

Suffering, while valuable, doesn’t have to define you or your story. If you’re wanting to move beyond old hurts, or feeling stuck despite desiring change, together we can re-author your story to include healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and being. In addition to my office in Brookside, KCMO, I am also offering sessions via Telehealth for those who do not wish to leave their homes due to COVID-19 (client must reside in MO).

I believe that each person has inherent strengths to overcome life's challenges, and therapy can help you tap into these qualities. In addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, or strained relationships, I can help you identify your goals and work towards them, in a warm and accepting environment.
