Therapists in Lees Summit, MO
Psychotherapy is for individuals who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives. Some individuals seek out therapy to improve their lives and to help recognize and remove barriers to a healthy lifestyle, relationships, and productivity. While others find that troubling symptoms of anxiety, depression, failed relationships, chronic pain, and loss are too intense to manage on their own. I work with individuals presenting with a range of emotional and psychological needs in a safe and respectful atmosphere. I respect and encourage individuals' motivation to change and help them develop their own internal resources to make lasting positive changes.

I personally understand the overwhelming pain and debilitating shame that often accompanies disordered eating, anxiety, depression and disrupted relationships. I also know that recovery is within reach, and I am here to help you get there. My hope is that every individual I am able to support feels connected, validated and has developed coping skills to manage the distress they are experiencing.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, down, or anxious and don't know what to do or where to go? Do you feel very alone and nobody else understands or has experienced what you have/or are experiencing? Are you having trouble sleeping due to looping thoughts running through your mind? Have all your old ways of coping stopped working? We all need support and guidance along our journey.

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.
