Currently accepting clients in WA, VA, GA & MO.

I work with adults and children who feel stuck in anxiety, worry, overthinking, or feeling easily overwhelmed. For adults, this can look like burnout, overanalyzing, and repeating patterns that are hard to break. For adults, this can look like burnout, overanalyzing, and repeating patterns that are hard to break. For children, this often shows up as big emotions, shutdowns, defiance, school struggles, or not being able to explain what’s wrong. I have over 6 years of experience working with youth, including engaging kids ages 5–11 in telehealth (yes, even the ones who don’t want to talk). My style is warm, direct, and down-to-earth.

Currently offering a variety of appointment times, including late evenings and some Saturdays.

I’m an affirming, open-minded therapist who works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, panic, stress, relationship challenges, identity concerns, and major life changes. I also support clients dealing with maternal mental health concerns, including the emotional weight that can come with pregnancy, postpartum changes, infertility, and adjusting to a new season of life.

Since earning my master’s in 2021, I have worked in mental health with both children and adults in settings including crisis care, which has deepened my understanding of how overwhelming life can feel when symptoms start affecting your relationships, confidence, and daily routine. My goal is to offer a space that feels warm, approachable, compassionate, and real.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Kansas City

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
