Counselor/Therapist, LSCSW
Forgiveness helps us let go of resentment. It does not require contact or reforming a relationship with those that have harmed us. It is not something we use EVERY time we feel anger.

For clients looking for therapy to help them forgive someone they are close to or who hope that someone will forgive them, I provide humanistic, positive, client-centered therapy. This approach allows you to explore feelings without judgment, contemplate the next steps in a safe space, and learn how to overcome painful feelings. Even if you are not in contact with the person you want to forgive or receive forgiveness from, we can use our sessions to help you find resolution and comfort.

Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We specialize in helping clients navigate the complex process of forgiveness, whether they're working toward forgiving someone else or themselves. Experiences of betrayal, hurt, or regret can leave lasting emotional wounds that affect trust, self-worth, and the ability to feel safe in relationships. Many clients find themselves stuck between wanting to move forward and feeling unable to let go of the pain. Our approach helps clients process these experiences at a deeper emotional level, understand the impact they’ve had, and make intentional choices about how they want to carry their story forward. Forgiveness in therapy is never forced or rushed; instead, we focus on helping clients regain a sense of clarity, emotional freedom, and empowerment so they can move forward without being defined by what happened to them.

It's been said that unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Forgiveness is not easy, but it can free the hurt person up to move on in their life. If the person who hurt you effectively demonstrates repentance, complete reconciliation can happen. If not, the offended/hurt person can move on and heal without the other person.

Independence is a Kansas City suburb with a distinctive character rooted in its historical significance as the starting point of the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails and as the world headquarters of the Community of Christ—a significant Latter Day Saint denomination—as well as being the hometown of President Harry S. Truman, a combination that gives the city a particular civic identity unusual for a suburb of its size. The religious community anchored by the Community of Christ Temple creates both a strong support network and specific mental health considerations around faith, doubt, and community belonging for those navigating their relationship with the church. Centerpoint Medical Center and the broader Kansas City health system provide behavioral health resources to Independence and surrounding communities. Common therapy concerns include faith and spiritual identity, commuter stress from the Kansas City metro, economic anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the particular dynamics of a community where civic pride and religious heritage are deeply intertwined.
