I specialize in the areas of grief and trauma for adults and children.
Therapy is a process that is often sought out during times of change, stress or transition. It can take courage to reach out to others. Thus, I feel it important to have a level of trust and comfort with your therapist. I greatly enjoy providing direction and insight to the clients I serve. I view my role as one that facilitates further introspection and growth. Every life event, those that are joyful, painful, or somewhere in between, can serve to shape us as an individual as we make choices for how we are going to respond.

I have a PhD in clinical psychology and am a licensed psychologist in Missouri and Kansas. I specialize in evidence-based therapies for adults with anxiety and depression. This includes Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder, among others. I also commonly see folks experiencing life transitions, adjustment issues, chronic illness, pregnancy/postpartum, and gender identity concerns. My practice is firmly rooted in empathetic, trauma-informed care, and I approach client concerns from a whole-person, goal-oriented perspective.

During my time as a therapist I have extensive experience with addiction/alcoholism, depression/anxiety, trauma and relationship issues.
Reaching out for support takes strength and courage. I respect this, and my aim is to create a calm, inviting atmosphere where a deep sense of trust can grow between client and therapist. I believe that pain shared is pain lessened and that people can and do recover from issues that have been troubling them for years. I have found that many people enter therapy not because of a complex mental health issue but because of a general feeling of life not being what they would like it to be. I've been there. Many years ago I embarked on my own personal growth journey and I believe that has made me a more compassionate, empathic therapist.

Gottman couples therapy and have worked with DBT clients as well Although my specialty tends to be working with couples, she also has extensive experience (and really likes!) working people that struggle with depression, anxiety and PTSD, including post partum.
As a marriage and family therapist, I empower individuals and couples to overcome hurdles and difficulties to improve their relationships and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. As a therapist I am collaborative, laid back, and yet direct when needed. Your relationship with your therapist should feel supportive and safe. I strive to offer that to each individual I see. Although I work with all individuals, I find my niche to be teenagers, adults and couples that are primarily dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, infertility, and family of origin difficulties. I welcome and work with all individuals regardless of race
