I offer Telehealth services for youth and adults throughout the state of Missouri. I am trained in several modalities, with specific competency training in working with queer and transgender individuals, neurodivergence and autism, disability, trauma and acute crisis, as well as caregivers wanting to better support their children. I am passionate about working with young adults going through transitions as well as supporting families in times of need.
I am able to accept some forms of Missouri Medicaid as payment for therapy sessions, including MoHealthNet, Healthy Blue, and Home State Health. I have training in play therapy and several body-based perspectives, including EMDR, polyvagal theory, and MNRI. I am trained in more traditional therapy methods such as TF-CBT and DBT as well.
I also provide referral letters for medical transition surgeries. I follow an informed consent model, believing individuals are best equipped to make decisions about their medical needs in collaboration with a medical provider. Clients seeking these services usually have a good understanding chosen procedure prior to meeting with me.
