Teletherapy for Lees Summit, MO

I believe we all have the right to our own belief systems but often times sharing those with someone who is a complete stranger can be intimidating. I offer you a safe space to be YOU. I am a spiritual being that is open to embracing dialogue around non-traditional ways of thinking and believing. Because the client-therapist is an important relationship, my goal is to provide a high-quality service to you that includes quick and responsive communication as well as a huge library of resources to give you the tools you need for an action based and humanistic therapy process. I enjoy working with women and couples!

I am only seeing clients virtually at this time. I have gravitated toward working with people who have experienced trauma, anxiety and depressive issues. I provide a judgment-free, supportive setting and aid the client in identifying their own inner strengths to help them find solutions to whatever difficulties they are experiencing. People want to feel safe and valued and I believe I can help with this. I believe people want quality services at a reasonable price. I can provide this as well.

Life never seems to slow down and it is difficult to take the time to prioritize meaningful, lasting change. I understand this, but am glad you are here. My hope is that this would be the time you take the first hard step. It’s uncomfortable to let someone see how you are struggling, but I will join you where you are and we will walk together through this by exploring underlying issues, providing insights as to alternatives, and taking action. Stability and peace are attainable!

Most people are doing the best they can in life with the skills they have available. When life becomes overwhelming, unbearable, or unfulfilling, counseling can help you find & experience the joy & love you desire - even in the face of adversity. Counseling can be helpful when you are ready to make changes in your life and when you desire someone to journey with you to realize your best self. In our work together, we will collaborate to set goals that you want to achieve. For some, this may be a change in how you are thinking and feeling. For others, you might be ready to work to find deeper healing through processing your trauma.

Hello! I am a LMFT/ LCMFT licensed in IN, KS and MO. I have a virtual practice and in person office in Lee's Summit, MO. My approach is focused on building tools, language, habits and behavior that supports a connection between the cognitive mind and the emotional self in order to create a sustainable deep change. I am an attentive non judgmental observer of the unique skills you bring to the table and a creative problem solver in applying them to stuck areas. This approach has lasting impacts on your relationship with partners, children, friends, work, activism and self.

I am licensed in MO and KS allowing me to offer telehealth sessions throughout both states and in-person sessions for individuals in the KC metro. Available for immediate day and evening appointments. For over 15 years, I have worked primarily with adults to help create long-term change, healing and transformation, instead of temporary band-aids. This is done by building a relationship that provides safety and acceptance, and ultimately promotes change, as well as using the tools and techniques that best fit the circumstance.

People get stuck. We can work together to help you find your way. We will first start with stabilizing presenting concerns then team together to resolve underlying issues. Through our collaboration we will build resilience and capacity to respond to life. Let's figure this out.

Are you stuck? Something in life not all what you hoped it would be? Good for you for not letting more time go by without seeking help and making a change. Therapy can be an incredible resource to discover and navigate the “why’s” underneath our obstructive thoughts, confusing behaviors and disconnected relationships. It can also provide space for healing as we learn how to become more deeply rooted in who we are and how we want to show up for the life we’ve been given.

My focus is in two areas: couples and families. I do see clients for other reasons, such as depression, anxiety, and attachment / relational issues, however my passion and years of expertise lay in couples / families. My hope and goal is to bring healing and repair to those I work with; I want to help you and your family become more successful, happier, and more equipped to tell a better story with your life.

LIFE...Let's figure it out together! Anxiety? Relational Troubles? Things can get better. We all struggle. No mater what you're dealing with, I am here to help! Learn how anxiety works, learn new coping skills, and discuss how life is going for you. I am an educated, trained, confidential professional with life experience and wisdom to guide you to improve your quality of life. Don't wait any longer. Life can be very short or very, very long. Call today and let's chat about your situation. Make that first step. When we know better, we do better.

Visiting with a counselor can be a life changing experience. I work with clients from early childhood through all phases of adulthood. Everyone has a unique story, and I value the personal experiences, hopes, and dreams of all my clients. Partnering during a trusting counseling relationship can be one of the best ways to reach your goals and create lasting, positive change in your life. The relationship between counselor and client can create a vessel or space in which we can unpack and sort through your concerns with care, compassion, and confidentiality.

Specializing in empowerment, trauma, anxiety, relationships, intimacy (with self and/or with others), sexuality (orientation, gender identity, exploration, expression), sexual health, and perinatal mental health. My clients are seeking more in life. Their internal compass has led them to seek counseling services, and I am an honored and humbled passenger on their therapy journey.

I believe that every person is a worthy individual created to experience joy and meaningful relationships. My goal is to help you cultivate a life of peace and purpose rather than chaos and despair. I believe in working hard and laughing harder during the therapeutic process as we all flail our way to health and wellness together.

I work with anyone who is struggling with anxiety: trauma, chronic worry, ruminations, perfectionism, panic, irritability, anger, exhaustion, social anxiety, control issues. The root cause of most relationship problems (with yourself and others) is dysregulated anxiety. Learning to manage your anxiety and coping styles can dramatically improve your quality of life, relationships, and break you free from sabotaging patterns or people. I will teach you to be a safe person - so you can have secure relationships. I will help you with codependency, people pleasing, narcissistic trauma, religious trauma, anger, avoiding, boundaries.

Seeking help and making change is never easy. You have already made one of the hardest decisions- seeking therapy. I am passionate about creating a warm, safe, and empathetic space where real change can be fostered. Whether this is your first time seeing a therapist or you are seeking out that right fit, I am honored to walk this journey with you.

The decision to see a counselor may be intimidating or overwhelming. Sometimes we need to seek help outside family and friends. It is not easy to walk through the door and talk to a complete stranger. I want you to know, I have been where you are right now, and I hope you will reach out. I work with individuals who struggle with abandonment/trauma/abuse. I also work with couples who struggle with communication/infidelity/trust/conflict resolution. Investing in yourself and your relationships will be the most important investment of your lifetime.

Hello! Thank you for visiting with me! Fostering “next steps” in all areas of life defines my approach to counseling. My experience with childhood loss, a pervasive family history of depression and anxiety, and a recent diagnosis of ADHD have created opportunities to learn and grow personally and professionally. A Christian foundation grounds my decisions personally and professionally. I believe God works powerfully through relationships and promises to guide us.

I want to help clients get relief and know that they are not alone. Whether that relief is from anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or from relationship issues, we can work together. You might be surprised at how your strengths start to show! I can give you invaluable information and skills that can positively impact your daily life. I care deeply for my clients and restore hope. Together, we overcome your unique struggles to reveal a new life outlook. With your specific concerns, I can show you relief and ways to not have them continuously interfere in your life.
