I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in MO & KS with over a decade of experience in community mental health, hospital social work, and substance use. I see therapy as a collaborative process — together, we’ll explore how past experiences have shaped you and work to release what no longer serves you. I believe in the power of humor, humanity, and the therapeutic relationship itself. Therapy doesn’t have to be all heavy, all the time. Sometimes laughter can be just as healing as insight.
Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply want to better understand yourself, I offer a space that is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and authenticity. I specialize in CBT, emotional regulation, mindfulness, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and couples counseling to support growth, healing, and connection.
Outside of therapy, I’m passionate about family, music, laughter, and building connection within the community where my kids are growing up. You might also hear about Harley, my goofy black Labradane. I know how important it is to feel seen and safe—if you're ready to take that step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Reach out anytime.
