About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist in Missouri and Oklahoma with over 10 years of experience. I work with individuals, navigating a variety of struggles, including anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe that healing happens in connection. My approach is warm, client centered, and grounded in respect for each person’s unique journey. I’m passionate about helping clients explore their challenges, discover their inner strengths, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and creating a comfortable space where you feel safe to share your story. We will talk about what has brought you to therapy, the challenges you are facing, and the goals you would like to work toward. Starting therapy can be overwhelming, but don’t worry. You do not need to have everything figured out – most clients start therapy feeling unsure where to begin, and that is completely okay. I am here to listen, support, and guide you through your journey.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I bring a balance of compassion and practicality to my work as a therapist. I strive to build a genuine connection with each client and create a space where they feel safe to explore their experiences. My person-centered approach draws from evidence based methods such as CBT and psychodynamic therapy, allowing me to tailor sessions to meet each clients unique needs.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
In my 10+ years of professional experience I have helped individuals and families face and overcome a variety of challenges. I specialize in supporting clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and high levels of life stress and who are seeking a supportive space to gain understanding and relief. I’m also passionate about helping families improve communication, resolve conflict, and foster stronger and more fulfilling relationships. Many of my clients are parents and/or working professionals looking to improve their day-to-day functioning while balancing multiple responsibilities and improving relationships.

My treatment methods
Humanistic
I integrate humanistic principles by creating a warm, non-judgmental environment that encourages clients to explore their feelings, values, and sense of meaning. I aim to help clients build a stronger sense of self-worth and empower them to make choices that align with their values and goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify, understand, and challenge, unhelpful, thought patterns, develop healthier, perspectives, and build skills for coping and reducing anxiety and related symptoms. I find CBT, especially helpful when working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, as well as for those who feel stuck and overwhelmed.
Psychodynamic
Through a psychodynamic approach, I help clients gain a deeper understanding of how past experiences and relationships influence their current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This insight helps to promote self-awareness and emotional healing while fostering personal growth and lasting change.
