You overthink and over-plan. You find it difficult to make decisions. Perhaps you feel anxious in social situations or dread doing the activities you once enjoyed. You are striving to keep everything perfect and would rather implode than disappoint someone. Or maybe the opposite - you find yourself getting angry or defensive when others try to help. You are overwhelmed and stressed. You have been struggling for so long that it has become your new normal. You are ready for change or you would not be here. But how do you find a therapist in Kansas City, MO you can fully trust? One that you can connect with? Let me help.

I have a Master's in Psychology (Southern Illinois University Edwardsville) and a Master's in Social Work (University of Kansas, Lawrence.) I have been licensed as a Clinical Social Worker for over 30 years, so I have a lot of experience. I have many "tools in my toolkit." I believe in people and enjoy helping them discover the strengths they have. I also enjoy teaching strategies that can help reduce stress reactions. What we think and tell ourselves is important, but we are not just what we think. Being integrative, I treat people holistically.

Counseling as a whole is perhaps needed now more than ever. We've seen rising prices for things in Missouri and across the US, horrible things happening in the Ukraine, in Israel, and of course, there is the pandemic we went through that affected literally everyone in the world. Even without these things, life brings its challenges, but add the stressors we've all been through for over 4 years now, in addition to the more recent problems we're facing, and it only makes sense that many people just like you will benefit from additional support and professional help in processing through life's difficulties.

Unconditional personal acceptance, honesty, and if it's a good fit: trust. This is the where therapy has power. And in a society increasingly isolated and detached, we are tragically under-resourced in our suffering. If you've found yourself ready to try and paint a different picture, I can help. We can be open minded with what that looks like, sometimes it resembles examining your thoughts, sometimes connecting with and learning from your emotions. Sometimes we need a safe, human connection to hear and to heal the burdens of our past and present. My first task is to learn what it is you need; it's ok if that's yours too.

You were always told that education, hard work, dedication, and grit would get you where you needed to be. Instead of feeling like you “have it all”, you feel numb and exhausted. It feels like you have a very short fuse these days and are likely to snap at any little thing. You end each workday feeling drained, and simply unable to show up for your friends and family. It seems like you’re giving all of your energy to things and people that aren’t really important to you. In your extensive list of tasks and constant stimuli, it’s hard to take a step back and assess ways you can reclaim control in your life. But what if you could?

Life can be overwhelming at times. Whether the stressors are external such as life transitions, relationship problems, employment problems, death of a loved one, or illness or internal such as shame, depression, anxiety, self image/self esteem, often we don't know where to turn or what to do. I know how scary it can be to seek help. My number one goal is to provide a nurturing environment where you feel safe to share things that you have never been able to say out loud. I would like to partner with you to help you get your feet back on solid ground and help you to love yourself.

Sometimes, life is just hard! You think you have it all together and then something happens and you realize you just can’t keep going on in the same way. You need new and healthy coping skills, a different kind of support and a better connection and guidance. To me, that’s where finding a great therapist comes in. Find a therapist who believes that everyone has strengths and the capacity to live a life full of joy, happiness and wholeness; like I do. Lastly, find a therapist who will take your healing journey with you, be your cheerleader, yet also gently hold you accountable for your ultimate goals; like I will.

I believe that understanding your own story is one of the bravest, most courageous things you can do. Everyone has their own unique journey and story to tell but the way we deal with certain roadblocks is not always as straightforward. Taking that story and turning it into your strength is an even bigger feat. It is a testament to our growth and courage to actively work to understand our emotions and create positive change. I am eager to hear your story and learn about your strengths, and the troubles that keep you up at night. You can count on me to have real conversations that guide you through these hardships.
