Therapy can be powerful and life-changing.  It can give you hope and solutions to issues you’ve struggled with for years.  With the right therapist, timing, and the willingness to rediscover yourself, growth, change, and health are all possible.  I believe one of the most important aspects of life is relationships.  To feel seen, heard, and loved is at the core of every human’s needs.  The relationship between client and therapist, as well as the shared information, is something I hold very dear.  As you show up authentically and vulnerably, I vow to also show up with respect and understanding.

 

Through several years as a therapist, school liaison, wife, and mama of four kids, I’ve had the honor of hearing clients’ stories and helping them return to the life they’ve envisioned.  I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree from Missouri Western State University in 2002.  I hold a Master’s in Family Therapy from Friends University and am a Licensed Clinical Marital and Family Therapist in Kansas and Missouri.  My greatest joy is to help my clients break through the obstacles that seem to hold them back.

​

My experience in supporting children, adolescents, couples, and families in making changes that improve their quality of life.  I promote a balanced life, and knowing that you are the only expert in your life, empowers you to find balance--in health, relationships, and inner peace.

​

In my experience working with clients from diverse racial, religious, sexual orientation, and disability backgrounds, I have developed specific strengths in balancing caring support and direct intervention in treatment and building a solid rapport with both sides of a conflicting couple.
