Therapists in Leawood, KS

Life is unexpected and sometimes we struggle with finding our path. My goal in therapy is to work with my clients on being comfortable with vulnerability. I believe that consciously choosing to not hide your emotions or desires from others is key to healing and growth. In therapy I learn about and help my clients use their unique strengths to help them resolve current conflicts. I am working on certification in perinatal care and menopause. My focus is primarily assisting women experiencing depression and anxiety, but I also take male clients.

Are you feelin anxious or overwhelmed? Like you have a weight on your shoulders that just won’t lift? Are there areas in your life that have been difficult to navigate such as personal growth, relationships, careers, or family life? We all have areas in our life were we want to find healing and growth. My desire is to build relationships within a safe and validating environment to help my clients break through the negative cycles patterns in their lives and empower them to recognize and move through these blocks.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples and families experiencing challenges within the family system, which often show up as belligerent teens, difficulties in relationships, anxiety, depression, as well as the myriad issues that arise in the general navigation of life.

I truly believe you already have the knowledge and wisdom needed to address these issues. As we work together, I will support and guide you as you gain clarity and identify steps to navigate your current challenges.

It is a true honor to meet my clients in the therapeutic space. I am reminded each time I meet a new client of the immense bravery and vulnerability it takes to show up for yourself. I believe therapy can help to ground us in the present, while exploring the parts of ourselves that need attention. The therapeutic space can serve as a holding container, while the internal and external work happens. My vision is to offer a safe environment to express your thoughts and emotions while in connection with one another.
