My passion is working with children and families, helping them to relate better with one another or to cope with normal family issues in healthier ways. I believe all clients possess the potential to improve their lives. My goal is to offer support and strategies so that clients can decide for themselves what is appropriate for them. I hope to help adult clients gain perspective and understanding of their lives so they are empowered to make meaningful changes for themselves. I now also specialize in working with neurodivergent children and adults. My office is in Missouri, and I offer Telehealth in KS or MO. I have openings!
I offer a unique blend of different therapeutic techniques to engage children and adolescents and help them to be comfortable in sessions. Clients may participate in various play or art therapies to express themselves when traditional talk therapies may not work for them. I also offer a variety of techniques for adult clients, including Sand Tray Therapy.
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. - Viktor Frankl

I utilize child centered play therapy with children under the age of 10 and do more directive activities with children ages 11-17. For adults I frequently use person centered therapy as well as cognitive behavioral therapy. I'm a neurodivergent and neurodivergent-affirming therapist. Are you looking for someone to help you with faith deconstruction or religious trauma? We might be a good fit!
