I’d be honored to help. Specializations are below and listed on website full bio. I'm a Clinical Professional Counselor in MO & KS, Nationally Certified Counselor, National Clinical Mental Health Counselor (board-certifications), co-owner of Secure Clinics. Those who work with me are usually having relationship difficulties, trauma complications, or have pain from losses and want internal peace & secure attachments to others (partners, children, parents, friends). I've lived in KC for 20 years with my husband, 4 children, 2 dogs, 3 cats, 1 bearded dragon, and a flock of backyard chickens!
Specialized in couples of all types, adult individuals, and families, I am a Certified Emotion-Focused Therapist, Fair Play Facilitator, & Level I AEDP clinician. I hold a Certificate in Interpersonal Neurobiology from Portland State U., and I also provide EMDR, sand tray therapy, & I have a Psychiatric Service Dog, "Rontu," who tags along!
I'm a Certified End-of-Life Doula for the dying/grievers and a TBRI Educator-Trainer from the TCU Institute for Child Development.
I’m a curious one! I’m current learning horticultural therapy, studying as Master Gardener, certification as a Morning Altars instructor.
I host a graduate intern counselor who is available to see clients for $50/session.
