Sometimes life presents challenges we don’t feel equipped to face alone. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure about where to turn next, I would love to meet you right where you’re at, give you a place to share your story, and partner with you to figure out a plan to start moving forward again. No matter what issue you choose to bring to counseling, I strive to create a safe and supportive space for you to express and process emotions, heal old wounds, and grow in greater understanding of yourself and your relationships with others.

I am licensed in Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas with 20 years within the social work, mental health, and the medical fields. I have experience in helping clients with a myriad of mental health issues. I particularly enjoy working with those that are dealing with narcissism and the fall out it can have on our mental health and relationships. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I pride myself in looking at people as a whole as well as their parts. You can expect empathy, honesty, humor, and most likely random movie quotes, TikTok's, or song lyrics during our sessions.

Your family may be feeling like it is being turned upside down as your developing young adult struggles to find their place in the world. I work within the family system to re-establish the balance that is necessary for a healthy, growing family and find order within the chaos. Teens and young people may appear to be rebelling; fighting back against all of the families efforts to offer guidance and support. We can work together to turn this energy into a productivity and success in academic, social, and all other aspects of life.
