Couples therapists in Kansas City, MO

My ideal client is someone ready to make a change that propels them to their next chapter in life. I believe that my clients most value my ability to remain optimistic while keeping a firm grasp on reality. We all want to reach the highest levels of self actualization, but if your anxiety, depression, or ADHD are making it hard to complete daily living tasks that may feel out of reach. My diverse experience helps me accurately empathize with a variety of life issues. I have previously worked as a primary grade teacher, residential eating disorder treatment, and assisting a psychiatrist specializing in ADHD treatment for adults.

Life can feel heavy at times—whether you’re coping with past trauma, struggling with anxiety or depression, managing bipolar disorder, or just feeling overwhelmed by daily stress. You may find yourself stuck in painful patterns, unsure how to move forward, or exhausted from trying to hold it all together. Therapy can be a space to finally set that burden down and begin healing.

I specialize in helping adults navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Using a compassionate and collaborative approach, I tailor sessions to meet your needs through EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based methods. My goal is to help you understand your experiences, build practical coping tools, and restore a sense of balance and confidence in your life.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri and Oklahoma, offering teletherapy sessions to make care accessible and convenient. Together, we’ll focus on your strengths and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. You don’t have to go through this alone—reach out today and let’s start your path toward healing.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and accepted.
