I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDR-trained therapist, and former school counselor who believes therapy should feel like a place where you can truly be yourself.

My approach is warm, genuine, and practical. I want you to feel heard and understood, but I also want you to leave therapy with tools you can actually use in everyday life. Sometimes that means learning how to manage anxiety or overwhelming emotions. Sometimes it means building confidence, setting boundaries, working through a difficult experience, or simply having a safe place to sort through everything going on.

I’m also EMDR trained and can incorporate trauma-focused approaches when they are a good fit. I work with preteens, teens, adults, and parents, and I offer both in-person therapy in the Kansas City Northland and virtual services throughout Missouri and Florida.

Most importantly, I believe you don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to ask for support. Therapy can be a space to understand yourself better, build new skills, and feel more confident navigating life.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are while helping you move forward, I’d love to connect.
