If you're carrying trauma, living with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or OCD, or just need someone to help you stay accountable, I could be your person. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri, and I recently started a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. I have lived experience with many things, so I understand trauma, and I'm open about my own mental health to help end the stigma around talking about it. In my wheelhouse is working with individuals, families, and children ages 6 and up. A little about me: yes, my name is really Kitten. I'm a mom to a daughter on the autism spectrum and to three dachshunds with larger-than-life personalities.

I've spent my career helping people navigate life's challenges. I have been a therapist for over fourteen years. I've worked with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and age groups, and I genuinely enjoy my work. I know that life can be difficult, and there can be times when you feel alone, without anyone who understands you or the situation you are facing. That is why I became a therapist to help those who feel stuck and misunderstood. I will never make you feel like just a number. My approach is client-centered and solution-focused. I will work with you in helping you reach the goals that mean the most to you.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in mental health and child welfare. I work especially well with people dealing with trauma, domestic violence, difficult relationships, religious trauma, anxiety, and experiences that have left them feeling disconnected from themselves. I’m trained in EMDR with parts/ego states and dissociation. I believe therapy can hold both the messy and the meaningful parts of your story without judgment.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I earned a bachelor’s degree in education in 2003 and a master’s degree in counseling in 2005, both from Missouri State University.

For the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to work with students and parents, in high school, middle school and elementary settings, as an educator and Professional School Counselor. Over the years, I have also worked with many struggling youth during my role as a Missouri Options Liaison, as well as a Community Service Liaison, providing outreach in the community. More recently, I received court mediator training, which provided new insight into conflict resolution procedures. Prior to counseling, I was an elementary teacher, working with students to help them achieve academic goals, while also facilitating emotional growth, and social awareness as well.

For over 20 years I have worked with students of all ages, as well as many parents and families. I specialize in helping one navigate the neurodivergent brain, anxiety and depression in adolescent youth, family counseling, couple’s counseling, emotional and social struggles, as well as adults working through childhood trauma.

It's great to meet you. Here's a little about me: Like my parents, I became a therapist after getting my Masters Degree from the University of Kansas. My career taught me how movement, food and sleep affect a person's mental health. This lead me to treat eating disorders. I've been practicing for a decade and I see clients in Kansas & Missouri. I work with adults who have an eating disorder. I'd like to offer you a 15-min consult where we'll continue this conversation to see if we're a good fit.

I work with adults and young adults dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, high pressure, career changes, lack of motivation, emotional dysregulation, and major life transitions. If you feel stuck in negative thinking, unsure of your purpose, struggling with confidence, or having a hard time managing stress and boundaries, I help clients make sense of what is happening and start moving forward. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed by change and frustrated with how hard it has become to stay steady.

I connect with individuals facing challenges in emotional regulation, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and criminal justice involvement. Collaboratively we will set goals and learn skills to manage and/or reduce symptoms.

I'm a certified nurse practitioner of 11 years. I've been caring for patients with psychiatric conditions for the past 6 years. My goal is to create a space where you can be open, honest, and as expressive as you need to be.
