Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with individual adults. I support clients navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, emotional regulation, relationship patterns, identity, and life transitions. My work is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and grounded in the belief that therapy can help you better understand yourself, strengthen self-trust, and the clinical belief that any person can change course in life at any time.

I draw from approaches such as EFT, IFS, ACT, and integrative experiential techniques, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore emotions, patterns, and strategies that help you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to yourself and the relationships that matter most.

Find the right therapist for you

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

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.

Kansas City offers a range of options across neighborhoods like Midtown, Westport, the Crossroads Arts District, Brookside, and the Northland. Your search may include in-person appointments near home or work, virtual sessions that fit your schedule, or a mix of both. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, free phone consultation availability, and how the therapist describes their session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.

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 your out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find a therapist in Kansas City, MO who accepts your plan, shows estimated costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly with therapists accepting new patients. Browse therapists, review bios, and book when you’re ready.
