I'm blind, and I was diagnosed with ADHD during grad school.
When you’re neurodivergent, queer, or disabled, it can feel like you’re constantly trying to meet unreachable standards. Shame, doubt, and overwhelm often show up, making you feel like you’re falling short no matter how hard you try. But you’re not failing. The problem is the world’s one-size-fits-none expectations. Together, we’ll create new expectations and redefine what success means for you. We’ll embrace every part of you, especially the parts you’ve been told don’t belong.

Life is hard enough without having to go through it alone. No matter who you are or where you are from, my greatest wish for you at the outset is for you to recognize that we all have complications — we could all benefit from growth and healing. As we embrace these realities, we also learn to embrace all of the parts of ourselves, including those that most need our attention and affection. Make no mistake, the path to growth can be difficult. It involves equal parts frustration and exploration, and even a good dose of humor! But when we face ourselves, we may also find that the outcome is beautiful, rewarding, and even enchanting.

Is it hard to manage all of the tasks you have to do in a day? If things like bathing, cleaning your home, working, and preparing meals feel exhausting, you may want to give occupational therapy a try.

Your relationship with yourself is reflected in interactions with family, friends, colleagues, professional life and your worldview. How do you seek, expect and provide attunement to yourself and important others? Often unrecognized inter-generational relational themes play a part in the manner by which one seeks connection. Attachment and relational patterns meant to gain closeness can mean one feels known & accepted or invisible & rejected. You can learn to listen to yourself with open-minded curiosity in order to identify your relational style, understanding how it supports or hinders you in life.

Our clients often identify as LGBTQIAs2+ / Queer, Non-monogamous, sex positive or sex neutral, neurodivergence, and or disabled and living within Missouri or Kansas. However, identifying in these communities is not a requirement for services through AAC. Clients often start therapy to work on goals to learn more about identities, setting boundaries with others in their lives, opening up their relationship, learning more about themselves or others gender or sexual expression. Through individual, relationship, or family counseling we work to increase healthy communication based on our values, instead of assumed social norms.

I imagine life has been throwing hands with you a lot lately and you feel like you're losing. Let's work on developing some new skills and healing from the experiences and people that still owe you an apology. My passion for supporting people who have been through traumatic events, major life changes, and experienced significant loss is rooted in my own experiences watching people I love suffer in silence. I want to provide people with the support and guidance that members of my own family never received.

It feels like you're no longer connecting or not connecting in a way that feels fulfilling with yourself or your partner(s). You feel you have said everything you can to help the other person understand your needs and wants with hope that something will change. You don't know how it's gotten so painful. It's starting to feel a little helpless that you'll be able to have the connection you once hoped. You feel you need a safe place to explore current and past struggles to reunite the spark in yourself and/or together. Lets replace the ineffective strategies with new ways of seeing yourself and other important people in your life.

Need help, support, or just feeling stuck? Let's talk. Clients often report they have found me to be warm and genuine, while also being committed to offering effective, research supported treatments. While my experience has spanned across a diversity of people, various settings, and presenting issues I have a specialty and passion for working with the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) population. My work and relationship with each client is unique and guided by their needs. I view therapy as a collaboration used to facilitate growth, change, and create a more fulfilling life.

Seeking mental health support is a brave and empowering step. True growth often comes through embracing our vulnerabilities. Conditions like depression, anxiety, and trauma can feel overwhelming, making it hard to imagine ever feeling okay again. You might feel like you've tried everything but still struggle with persistent anxiety and depression. Despite your desire to overcome these challenging times, you may feel stuck. Finding the right therapist can be daunting, especially if you're uncertain about the potential benefits of therapy. You deserve a therapist who meets you where you are and guides you through your healing journey

Maybe you’ve been trying to “busy” yourself out of feeling anxious and angry, or still feel like you’re not good enough despite all you’ve accomplished and everything you do for those around you. It feels like if you can’t be “perfect” 100% of the time, it means you’re a failure. You sometimes look up from the endless items on your to-do list and wonder, “How did I get here?” The feelings of overwhelm, frustration, and disappointment in yourself or your ability to show up the way you want for the people you care about—those all stem from somewhere in your past. And more than that, they’re a sign that it’s time to make a change.
