Listen to your body, follow your heart! When our hearts are wounded through trauma, neglect and deprivation, we lose touch with the heart's power. Depression, anxiety, fear of intimacy, addiction, stuckness may follow. Working through emotional issues at a body level allows for deep, lasting healing  

If you're looking for someone to validate everything you're already thinking, I'm probably not your therapist. But if you're ready to actually look at what's keeping you stuck — in your relationships, your patterns, your story — then we might be a really good fit. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with five consecutive years recognized as Kansas City's top couples therapist, pre-marital counselor and marriage and family therapist by KC Magazine, The Pitch KC and the Kansas City Star. I work with individuals, couples and families who are done just surviving and ready to understand themselves at a deeper level. Therapy here is warm, direct and honest — sometimes uncomfortably so. That's the point.  

I provide confidential, evidence-based counseling for professionals with demanding schedules who are managing workplace stress, leadership pressure, technical responsibility, and sustained cognitive load in fast-paced environments. INDIVIDUALS ​I provide confidential, evidence-based counseling for professionals with demanding schedules who are managing workplace stress, leadership pressure, technical responsibility, and sustained cognitive load in fast-paced environments. Many of my clients experience: High-functioning anxiety Burnout or early signs of exhaustion Imposter syndrome in technical or leadership roles Decision fatigue Chronic performance-related stress Workplace communication challenges Leadership or team-management strain Difficulty disengaging from problem-solving mode Perfectionism impacting productivity or well-being  

When you share your difficulty with me, you feel relief – and I feel privileged. Tangible relief is where my work starts, with diminished shame, reduced anxiety, and you starting to feel unstuck. You find healing is truly in your own hands, and this brings confidence, fulfilment and loving yourself.  

I have been working with people for over 25 years and love to see people take flight and fly again in their lives. I never judge you or what you have done or who you tell me you are. Rather, I help you discern what you WANT to be and what you want to do and work to help you be and do that. My job is to help you become the very best you you can be. I encourage, support, comfort, challenge, and do all of these with humor and warmth. I simply don't think there is any other way for me to work.  

Would you like to feel more connected to yourself and others? Would you like to have more access your own aliveness and authenticity? I can help you reconnect with your core self and examine patterns that hold you back from feeling connected and satisfied in your love life, family, & career.  

We're here to make your therapy experience feel supportive, comfortable, and truly helpful. Our approach is flexible and personalized, drawing from a variety of evidence-based practices such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness and relaxation techniques, and insight-oriented psychodynamic therapy. Most importantly, we focus on building a strong, trusting relationship so you feel safe, heard, and understood. Together, we'll work toward your goals at your own pace, supporting you on your journey toward healing, growth, and feeling more at ease in your everyday life. We would be honored to be able to provide you with the high quality mental health service you deserve.  

Many people were never given the space to understand what they truly feel — taught early on to push past vulnerability and keep moving, often losing touch with their deeper needs, wants, and inner conflicts along the way. I work with individuals and couples alike, with a particular focus on those navigating conflict and communication struggles in their relationships, as well as those facing major life transitions — including postpartum mood challenges and midlife adjustments. Drawing on attachment-centered and trauma-informed approaches, we work on the foundations beneath your current struggles — ultimately opening up new ways of reacting, understanding, and relating to yourself and your past. Therapy offers choices, and while familiar patterns may feel safe, the goal is to give you the freedom to choose differently.  

I love helping people find greater balance and fulfillment in their lives. My practice combines warmth, authenticity, and research-based care to create a space where real growth can happen. Clients often share that they feel deeply understood and supported while also encouraged to make meaningful change. I’d be honored to support you on your path, no matter how challenging your current circumstances may be.  

At times, we may lose our ability to trust our intuition. We may feel like imposters in our relationships, jobs or within ourselves. Therapy can offer a bridge back to understanding your authentic needs. I work with adults of all genders, races and sexual orientations experiencing anxiety, self-doubt and perfectionism. Symptoms related to these issues can manifest as feeling cut off from emotions, overwhelm, stress and burnout. I also provide services to athletes and performing artists who may be experiencing life transitions, performance anxiety or injury. My own journey as a member of the LGBTQ+ population and professional ballet dancer led me to the field of mental health. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based. I believe everyone has the wisdom to know what is best for their own growth. I am here to guide individuals in uncovering new skills and untangling unhelpful narratives and core beliefs. Together, we will develop an understanding of structures at play in your life that uphold self-doubt by laying the framework to trust your intuition and Self. We will also stretch your mind through self-compassion, curiosity, resilience, creativity, and adaptability. If you are interested in meeting with me, please reach out to see if we are a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!  

As a therapist, my job is to help you find and nurture the seeds of healing that we all carry within us.

I believe meaningful change begins within a therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and genuine human connection. Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. As a licensed clinical social worker, I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the emotional demands of everyday life. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and tailored to each individual's unique experiences, values, and goals. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I collaborate with clients to develop practical strategies while exploring the deeper patterns that influence emotional well-being. Whether you're working through a difficult chapter, healing from past experiences, or striving for greater clarity and resilience, therapy can be a powerful investment in yourself. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they build insight, strengthen their emotional health, and create lasting, meaningful change.  

I recognize being a nonconformist in any way, comes with challenges. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community I understand first hand the things we too commonly encounter. Despite the challenges, I recognize the power and beauty inherent in us all. When we fully embrace and embody our most authentic selves we find freedom from the expectations of others. Being on my own similar journey, I believe I am uniquely equipped to help you thrive while negotiating all life's many changes and challenges.

I offer counseling and coaching for individuals of all genders, sexualities, racial identities, and family formations. My work is rooted in developing a strong therapeutic relationship. Within the counselor-client connection, clients are invited to explore relational dynamics and to safely become more honest with themselves and others. Through collaboration, I support clients to clearly identify boundaries, honor desires, and expand their capacity to tap into innate resources. My approach is informed by psychodynamic theory, spiritual and archetypal counseling, parts work, creative arts therapy, and goal-oriented coaching in addition to somatic interventions. These coupled with a client-centered and anti-oppressive lens facilitate changes that are both radical and sustainable. Areas of specialty include: partnership and family conflict, self doubt, guilt & shame, eating disorders & body image, gender, sexuality, LGBTQIA+ experiences, transitioning, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction, attachment, polyamory, family dynamics, interpersonal and communal conflict, spiritual growth, strengthening intuition, political identity, financial stability, transitions, and creative blocks. ​ My therapeutic style is intuitive, fierce, and nurturing. With passion and humor, I approach each person with deep respect for the grace and grit of human experience and an abiding trust in each individual's capacity for growth and resilience. I also support couples struggling to navigate both the inevitable and unexpected challenges of partnership. Every partnership has unique strengths and challenges and even the strongest relationships sometimes need help weathering life's hardships, be they related to health concerns, finances, sexuality and intimacy, children, work stress, extended family, etc. Couples counseling can help partners improve communication, develop a deeper understanding of each other's experiences, increase awareness of intentions and impact, and relate to each other with compassion and curiosity rather than judgment. I support couples to make collaborative decisions and move through conflict with courage, honesty, and mutual respect. ​Partners learn communication and deescalation skills, develop resiliency, and grow as individuals and partners. Together we can identify and heal attachment wounds, explore power dynamics, and build trust.
