My approach to care integrates psychotherapy with medication management. I provide therapy for patients whose psychiatric medications I also manage, allowing for a coordinated and personalized treatment plan that supports both emotional and medical aspects of mental health.
With over 20 years of experience as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner and now as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am deeply committed to delivering compassionate, comprehensive care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. My approach integrates physical and mental health to support the whole person.
I specialize in:
- Mental health evaluations and medication management
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for substance use disorders
- Gender-affirming hormone therapy
- ADHD Clinical Service Provider-Certified Providing comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of ADHD in children, adolescents, and adults. Services include diagnostic assessments, differential diagnosis, medication management, psychoeducation, and individualized treatment planning using evidence-based practices.

You can contact me at [email protected] with questions and for self pay prices.
As your therapist, I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in social work, I have a solid educational foundation. My work with the active-duty military, specifically combat-related PTSD, has equipped me with a deep understanding of trauma's impact. I specialize in working with adults addressing concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships. Together we'll explore evidence-based techniques tailored to your needs, fostering healing, growth, and well-being.
I am able to evaluate and make diagnoses, and/or support existing diagnoses and work with you for a 'best-fit' solution to your needs. So many come from a past of being told they are 'X, Y, Z" and often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed.
My goal is to help find a good treatment start point that resonates with you and provide evidence-based treatment to support your needs, goals, and desires to bring relief and remission, joy and hope.
All options on the table including progressive medication management, psychotherapy and counseling, or referrals for other modalities including deepTMS.
I earned the MSW from the University of Kansas in 2014. I have since engaged in a range of direct human and mental health service work; including in-home therapy with youth and their families connected to state child protective services; crisis therapy and case management in a short-term crisis stabilization facility; outpatient community mental health therapy including work with individuals, families or couples, and groups.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Overland Park
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Overland Park starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist who clearly describes experience with LGBTQIA+ people, gender-diverse clients, affirmative therapy, or WPATH-informed care. This can matter when you want support for identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. A therapist’s listed specialties, training, and bio can help you see whether their approach matches what you want from care.
Overland Park has a steady mental health care market, and virtual therapy can expand your options beyond nearby offices. This can be useful when you want an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist with specific experience, availability, or background. As you compare therapists, review whether they are accepting new clients, offer appointment times that fit your schedule, and provide virtual or in-person sessions. Reading bios can also show how a therapist talks about LGBTQIA+ care, communication style, and what a first session may include.
Therapy in Overland Park can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Overland Park who are accepting new clients, review detailed bios, check your insurance, and see your estimated cost before booking. You can compare fit, format, and availability, then book directly when you’re ready.
