I meet people where they are—with compassion, honesty, and practical tools that actually help. As a Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor trained in Gottman Method (Level 2), I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate relationships, faith, self-worth, and emotional struggles with care and clarity. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I take an integrative approach that adapts to your unique needs, values, and goals. I also understand that cost can be a barrier, so I offer sliding scale rates to keep care within reach. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or cold—it can feel real, human, and hopeful. If you're looking for someone who listens deeply and walks with you through the hard stuff, I’m ready to support you.

I am licensed to practice in the State of Missouri. If you are seeking therapy via phone or video sessions, please note that you must reside within Missouri. I enjoy offering in person sessions as well. If you’re exploring therapy, chances are you’re looking for a safe, supportive space where you can gain clarity and insight into your current challenges. My goal is to help you shift your perspective, discover new ways of coping, and provide you with tools to move forward in a healthy, empowered way. I’m especially passionate about making high-quality counseling services accessible to individuals and families in rural Missouri—including my hometown of Warsaw. Whether you’re located in Kansas City or a smaller town across the state, I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant sessions via phone or video to meet you where you are. Being a therapist is more than a job—it’s a privilege. I see humanity at both its most vulnerable and its most resilient. Everyone who comes to therapy has a unique story to share, and I believe that story deserves to be heard with compassion and care. I find great joy in helping people process their experiences, own their narratives, and move toward more satisfying, fulfilling lives. Since 2013, I’ve been honored to walk alongside my clients on their healing journeys. Many have told me they feel truly heard, understood, and supported in our sessions. There’s no greater reward than seeing a client finish therapy with renewed strength—and knowing they can return at any point if life brings new challenges. ⸻
