Positive Psychology Therapists in Kansas City, MO

My approach is rooted in positive psychology, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them identify their strengths, overcome limiting beliefs, and develop strategies and coping skills to achieve their goals.

Feeling stuck, struggling to heal, or burdened by a negative outlook on life? I'm a dedicated therapist with over 10 years of experience in guiding individuals like you towards positive change and personal growth. My therapeutic approach is grounded in a holistic perspective that draws from diverse modalities to help you move through obstacles and achieve your full potential.

I am one of the most open-minded, non-judgmental people you will ever work with. Many times, clients have begun sessions afraid and timid about sharing details of their life with me. Once they get to know me, they understand that they are truly in a judgment-free zone. I am curious about you, your life, and what brought you to therapy. I have worked with a wide range of clients from adults in custody with substance use disorders to vulnerable populations with serious mental illness. Whatever the problem is, we can tackle it together.

We are not meant to live life alone, but rather deeply involved in relationships. Some of these relationships are highly successful, while others have come with great loss, significant struggle or just the every day difficulty of learning to live and enjoy life with another person. I believe in the value of working through personal problems in the context of building stronger relationships. I will help you work through this on a personal level or with whomever you are needing to have a restored relationship with.

My goal in therapy is to assist you in finding the best version of yourself. For so many, our best qualities are stuck behind trauma, learned behaviors, and negative thinking. I am here to help you unpack the hurt you’ve been through and make sense of it. If you feel like you don't really know yourself or you're just kind of going through the motions - I want to help you find purpose within your day to day lives. Time is going to move no matter what. With a little help from some therapy, I hope that you'll start to feel more in control of your life and your time.

Are you having trouble finding joy and meaning in life, healing from the past, or finding your way?

Let me walk with you on your journey towards peacefulness and positive change.

It's hard to find a therapist. Especially when you're not feeling your best. I applaud you for getting this far. Now it's time to invest in your relationship with yourself. I know what it’s like to feel alone with your problems. Maybe you have no one to talk to. Or maybe you feel bad making your friends, your family, or your partner listen to your problems again. I know what that feels like, and I’m here. I’m ready to listen. It’s time to let go of anxiety, sadness, frustration, anger, and shame. I want to process these things with you. You don’t have to go through this alone anymore.

Are you feeling powerless as life continues whirling around? Perhaps you are stuck in an area of your life? Maybe you are struggling to understand yourself or your brain. I understand the desire to feel in control of your emotions, yourself, and your life. My clients are teens and adults who are looking to heal and grow into the best version of themselves.

The four pillars of my practice are self-care wellness, building self-love, self-confidence, and self-compassion. Your happiness and mental wellness are the cornerstones of healthy relationships with yourself and others. We all have the insight to resolve any barriers in life. Identifying and developing self-empowerment and having the ability to implement and reinforce personal boundaries provide the vehicle to support one to become aware of what is needed to overcome these obstacles.

I know therapists are expected to start these bio’s off by sharing what they offer prospective clients, along with their viewpoint on therapy. That info is important, but my primary focus is to make sure you understand that it is YOU that really matters. Meridith Monk said "That inner voice has both gentleness and clarity. So, to get to authenticity, you really keep going down to the bone, to the honesty, and the inevitability of something.” I want to walk with you thru this process.

If you have ever dealt with anxiety, panic attacks, or fears of letting others down you have been fighting a battle that you don't need to continue to fight. We help individuals control their anxiety by teaching them techniques and tools that will allow them to regain control over their emotions. These are the same skills that professional athletes use to deal with the anxiety and the enormous amounts of pressure they deal with on a daily basis.

I believe that people have an innate ability to heal and that successful therapy depends on tailoring sessions to be in alignment with your unique circumstances. I have an eclectic background that enables me to draw on a valuable combination of experience, knowledge and skills. It is my goal that our time together is creative, flexible and productive.

I possess the magic, fast-acting cure for it ALL... just kidding. As a lifetime therapy participant myself, I know this path isn't short, shiny, or easy, but my job is to walk it with you once you are ready to take the first step. My work focuses on challenges in our relationships with ourselves, others, and how we navigate the world. In addition to life transitions, trauma, and grief, I specialize in perinatal mental health, mood disorders, & adolescent/student athlete issues. I am an LGBTQI+ ally, and eager to work with humans of all backgrounds, orientations, preferences, identities, cultures, & ethnicities.

Living authentically and creatively sounds good, right? Nurturing quality relationships is important and also difficult. Managing stress in difficult times is confusing and overwhelming. Showing up in your life *how* you want is why we are here. Helping you identify ways the past has shaped your life, the patterns that have emerged and how to implement the change you want is our priority at HTC.
