Others struggle with depression, anxiety, addiction, abuse, or trauma.
One of my specialities is aiding lifelong learning and development of character thru self-understanding and awareness. Mindfulness meditation is a resource. The works of Jon Kabat-Zinn, Carl Jung, Victor Frankl, and Joseph Campbell are guidelines to wholeness, meaning, and spirituality. It is possible to be spiritual without being religious.

Licensed in Missouri and Kansas. I help children, teens, adults, and couples struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, and feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, on edge, or disconnected, even when things look “fine” on the outside. My approach focuses on nervous system regulation and getting to the root of what’s driving your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you won’t feel rushed or dismissed. If you’re ready to feel calmer, connected, and in control, I’m here to support you.

Each of us are attempting to navigate life and find a place in this world as ourselves. While life does not come with a blueprint, I believe our bodies & nervous systems hold a lot of power and wisdom that can allow us to be more deeply connected. When there is so much talk about what we need to do to live life, and trying to find the thing that we think is needed that will change our life, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to harness this ability within yourself? It is from this place of connection, learning how to settle the nervous system, and listening to our bodies that we can be more embodied to create changes in our lives.

Too many of us move through life feeling like "human doings" rather than "human beings"—exhausted by expectations and disconnected from our own needs. I work with adolescents, adults, older adults, and families who seek relief from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, family or parenting challenges. If you are hoping to quiet your inner critic and find practical coping skills that offer immediate relief, you are in the right place. We can work together to identify the root of these struggles, change negative thought patterns, and prioritize your wellbeing to help you recognize your true worth.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
