Relational Therapists in Overland Park, KS

Hope is often difficult to find when life gets confusing and messy. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe there is always hope. My desire is to journey with you to find clarity, confidence, understanding and peace in the process.

The journey through life can hold pain and sorrow, as well as joy and celebration. Maybe your journey has been filled with pain, or maybe it has been filled with joy. Either way, my hope is that through your therapeutic experience you find safety in whatever stage of life you are experiencing. My hope is that you would have a space to engage with your story and find new perspective, deeper understanding, profound healing, and a felt sense of freedom. We were never meant to do life alone and I very much look forward to coming alongside of you.

My approach to counseling is to create a safe environment where we can join together in working through whatever you are struggling with.

My hope is that through counseling you will feel more known and connected to yourself and to others.

Many people show up to therapy believing that there's something wrong with them or that they are the problem. Let me assure you that you aren't "crazy." The symptoms you struggle with are just that, symptoms of a larger, more relational problem. Whether you're struggling with your mental health, connecting with your partner(s) or family members, or job related distress; we're here to help. The therapists at KCCD will always see you as a human rather than just a diagnosis. We understand that life (and our relationships) can feel overwhelming, and we're here to support you in overcoming any obstacle.

Life can be full of joy but can also be lonely and deeply painful. Your personal life may feel unbalanced or your relationships seem stuck. I think it is very courageous to seek health and healing from hurt, internal strife or relational trauma. Relationships cause tremendous pain but can also be the source of magnificent healing. Oftentimes a comfortable, inviting space where you can safely explore who you are at your core is just what you need to begin flourishing and thriving. That same space can be precisely the respite your relationships need.

I work with children, teens and families, also adults (individually and as a couple) to identify areas of personal and relational difficulty.

I use evidenced-based techniques and interventions to help clients with not only grief, but also anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relational issues, and trauma.

I consider it a privilege to walk alongside individuals, couples, and families as they experience personal and relational difficulties including marital conflict, depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, or simply a feeling of "being stuck."

The thoughts won’t stop, and the heaviness on your chest is a constant burden. All the while, it seems like loneliness and striving for an unreachable perfection have become your closest companions. The world starts painting a picture of what we “should” be at a young age. These standards are an ever-changing bullseye we anxiously strive to meet while carrying immense disappointment when unachieved. Ever been there? Me too. Maybe that’s where you find yourself today, and if so, I hope you continue reading.

Life struggles may sometimes prevent us from fully being our true selves, interfering with the hopes, dreams and wishes we have for our lives. When the weight of relationship stress, emotional discomfort, loss, life transitions, etc. leaves you feeling unbalanced or unfulfilled, you do not have to carry it alone. It is my sincerest desire to carry it with you offering a process of emotional healing, exploration and self-discovery. As we journey towards a restored sense of balance and harmony, I encourage you through your process until you feel secure, connected and can experience peace.

You may find yourself in the middle of a life change, grief, questioning your identity, divorce or experiencing unwanted mental health symptoms, among other things. Maybe your relationship is at a crossroad, has experienced an affair or you're tired of dealing with the same relational problems over and over with the same results. You don't have to navigate these roads alone. Reaching out for help and support is a courageous step towards creating the life and relationships that you want.

Do you ever look around yourself and wonder how in the world you got to this point? Everyone has problems, but it's particularly messy from where you stand. Trying to look past the issues doesn't have the same charm anymore. You are apprehensive to ask for help, but too exhausted to navigate it alone anymore. The good news is I help individuals and couples just like you who want things to change. Whether you are wanting to heal relationships, navigating personal trauma, dealing with infidelity, struggling with personal identity, or facing a life transition, therapy is a great place to start.
