I have a Master's in Counseling Psychology from the University of St. Mary. I am transitioning from community mental health to private practice where I believe I can make a greater impact for others and their mental health needs
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist. I work with ages 8+ in addictions, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm, and suicidal ideations.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Kansas City, MO
Searching for therapists in Kansas City starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists in KC, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that align with your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another style that fits what you’re looking for.

Your search may include in-person appointments near home or work, virtual sessions that fit your schedule, or a mix of both.

Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
