I am licensed in Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas with 20 years within the social work, mental health, and the medical fields. I have experience in helping clients with a myriad of mental health issues including PTSD, ADHD, Suicidal Ideation/Self Harm and the fall out it can have on our mental health and relationships. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I pride myself in looking at people as a whole as well as their parts. You can expect empathy, honesty, humor, and most likely random movie quotes, TikTok's, or song lyrics during our sessions.
I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique, specific needs and view our interactions as a partnership. We are on a road trip. You pick the destination and the route. You are the driver and I'm simply riding shotgun with the map.
Taking the first step to seek therapy can take courage and I commend you for taking this important step! I encourage you to reach out for and advocate for the treatment and life you deserve. I can help.

I believe that no one is all good or all bad. I believe that we are the way that we are because we have learned (or not learned) certain skills. I believe that everyone is doing the best they can will the knowledge and skills that we have in the moment. I also believe that no matter our past or current situation, we can learn new things to get the life and relationships we desire and deserve.

Let's just say that I'm "eclectic". I prefer to match the appropriate activity or intervention to your needs rather than to expect you to adapt to a certain modality. We will figure out together what works (and doesn't work) for you.
