Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

My approach is warm and collaborative, and I’m here to help you build confidence and develop the tools you need to navigate whatever life brings your way.

Hi there! Just a little bit about me; I am a wife, a mom of twins, a lover of books, an Eight on the Enneagram & I love the work that I am blessed to do every day. I have my MS in Counseling as well as my certificate in Life Coaching. I am licensed clinically in KS & MO, and I am a Supervisor in both states. I specialize in treating eating disorders. I also enjoy working with anxiety & mood disorders, perfectionism and other co-occurring disorders.

I am a therapist that is focused on helping people with sex and sexuality issues. I am currently a member of AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors , and Therapists. I am open minded, solution-oriented, and compassionate towards clients.

I firmly believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, even when they feel stuck. I've always been drawn to understanding what makes people tick and what gets in the way of them living their best lives. I'm passionate about helping others improve their quality of life by providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, identify their strengths, and develop practical strategies for creating positive change. I see my role as a facilitator, guiding individuals on their own unique path to greater well-being and a sense of liberation from what holds them back.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who graduated from Loyola University Chicago's School of Social Work (Master of Social Work). I have 10+ years in the mental health field and I have worked with multiple populations throughout the years. I gained special interest in mental health after working with pregnant women and adolescents. I became passionate about working with women and oppressed populations after working in multiple medical settings. I am committed to reducing mental health stigma through education and conversations addressing mental illness and holism. I enjoy helping others achieve their goals and I feel passionate about working with women, caregivers, oppressed populations, as well as the maternal health population. I have a person-centered approach, which allows me to collaborate with the client as a member of their team on their pursuit of optimal wellness. Although I am a licensed qualified mental health professional, I identify myself as a guide who collaborates with her clients in order to help lead them to healing and restoration. I believe that every person has the power to choose healing !

I've been a counselor for 10 years working with teens, adults, couples, families, and groups. I enjoy creative collaborative environments with whoever I'm working with to support the goals of the person.
