I've spent my career helping people navigate life's challenges. I have been a therapist for over fourteen years. I've worked with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and age groups, and I genuinely enjoy my work.

I will work with you in helping you reach the goals that mean the most to you.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Leawood, KS


The decision to seek counseling can be overwhelming. Finding the right fit and feeling like you are in a safe space can sometimes be a challenge. My goal as a therapist is to create a place where clients feel empowered, secure, and seen. I utilize an integrative counseling approach which allows me to tailor your treatment to your unique needs.

I work with clients of all ages and in all seasons of life. Especially those clients with ADHD or those who may be dealing with relationship issues, lack of self-esteem, anxiety, or depression. My top priority is providing clients with the best therapy experience possible as they work toward their personal goals.

You already took the first step toward the best version of yourself. I would be honored to walk with you on the journey toward a better, healthier you.
