Are you seeking support to address past experiences that may have impacted your well-being? Have you faced personal loss, trauma, or sleep difficulties related to these experiences? Many of my clients have discovered their inner resilience, strength, and courage to move beyond their past and engage fully in the present. I am committed to helping clients recognize that they are their own best advocates as we work together toward goals of healing and personal growth.
Are you tired of your trauma taking the wind out of your sails? This group for residents of KS and MO will give you the tools for positive change.
With over 20 years of experience as a licensed therapist, I have worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders. I believe in tailoring sessions to each individual’s unique needs and utilizing evidence-based practices to support positive outcomes.
My diverse background includes working with members of the LGBT!Q+ community, military & first responders, and their families. I strive to create a warm, inviting, and non-judgmental environment. I value a collaborative approach, ensuring that progress is made at a pace that supports your personal goals of healing and understanding.

Participants may share or simply listen and learn. The group meets Tuesdays from 6:30–8:00 PM, is limited to 10 participants, and costs $25 per session plus a one-time $25 workbook fee.
