I am a Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor and have a Masters in Clinical Psychology with 20 years of experience and I'm ready to hear your story. I work with adults from college age through mid-life who are navigating a life transition, feeling stuck and finally ready for movement towards change. Some clients come in with a clear goal and a timeline. Others just need room and guidance to figure it out. I've spent many years in private practice and of late in a hospital setting as well as taught graduate courses. I bring knowledge, skills and depth with a down-to-earth relatable energy.

I specialize in supporting women navigating complex experiences that often go misunderstood. This includes women who have experienced harm within spiritual or religious communities—whether that's spiritual abuse, religious trauma, or the complicated grief of leaving a faith tradition. I also work with women managing anxiety, depression, and interpersonal trauma.

If you've felt silenced, questioned your own reality, or struggled to trust yourself after difficult experiences, you're not alone. My practice is a place where your story matters, your feelings are valid, and healing is possible.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Kansas City

Searching for couples therapists in Kansas City starts with knowing what you want to work on together. Couples therapy may focus on communication, conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life changes, or parenting disagreements. Some people search for Kansas City marriage counseling or a Kansas City marriage counselor, while others look for couples counseling in Kansas City. Across these searches, it helps to look for a therapist with training in couples work, such as a licensed marriage and family therapist, Gottman Method training, or Emotionally Focused Therapy.

In Kansas City, finding one therapist who works for both partners often means balancing location, schedule, session format, and fit. In-person appointments may work well if you want a shared space outside the home, while virtual appointments can make it easier to coordinate around two calendars. As you compare Kansas City couples counseling options, review each therapist’s bio for their approach to working with partners, the concerns they list, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation to assess fit before you book.

Couples therapy in Kansas City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for couples therapists who are accepting new patients, compare availability, verify insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you can review bios, find a therapist who matches your needs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
