Life can feel like too much: too many demands, too many pressures, too little space to
just breathe. Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, a big life change, or a
nagging sense that something needs to shift, I am here to help you find your footing. I
bring warmth, humor, and a genuine belief that therapy works best when it feels
human. My background spans schools, community health, substance recovery, and a
psychiatric hospital, so whatever you are carrying, I have likely walked alongside
someone carrying it too. If you are curious about what it would feel like to work
together, let us find out.
I specialize in treating anxiety, OCD, stress, and life transitions. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and goal-focused. Therapy for anxiety is effective when people learn to gain control and understanding of their condition while receiving care that incorporates evidenced-based practices. Together, we'll identify your strengths and create a plan that aligns with your goals and values.
I am a clinically licensed therapist who works with teens and adults.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Kansas City, MO
Searching for OCD therapists in Kansas City starts with finding a therapist trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and many therapists receive specific training in it. As you compare options, look for therapists who list ERP, OCD, anxiety, or related experience in their bios so you can see how closely their training matches your needs.
In a mid-sized market like Kansas City, you may find both local therapists and virtual options across Missouri. Some people prefer an in-person office, while others choose virtual appointments for schedule flexibility or access to therapists with more specific OCD training. When reviewing therapists, look beyond whether they mention OCD. Check whether they describe ERP experience, appointment availability, session structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. A therapist’s bio can also help you understand their communication style and what care with them may look like.
OCD therapy in Kansas City can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, confirm insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare therapists, review fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
