LCSW, 8 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello! I'm Robyn-A Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Kansas and Missouri with over a decade of experience walking alongside individuals and families through grief, caregiving, and major life transitions. Before becoming a therapist, I spent seven years in hospice and three years as a bereavement coordinator. That experience shaped how I show up today: grounded, compassionate, and unafraid to sit with what's hard. I specialize working with adults and older adults facing loss, life changes, or emotional overwhelm. Whether you're grieving a loved one, adjusting to a new chapter, or supporting someone else through decline, I'm here to help you feel less alone and more connected to your strength and values. Clients often tell me they feel understood and supported; not rushed, judged, or "fixed." If you're looking for a space to breathe, reflect, and begin to heal, I'd be honored to offer that support. You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes, it just helps to talk things through with someone who listens and understands.
In our first session, my main goal is to help you feel comfortable and heard. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you're hoping for, and any questions or concerns you might have. There's no pressure to share everything right away. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you. I'll ask a few questions to know your story and the challenges you're facing, but I will also leave space for whatever feels most important to talk about in the moment. You can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you don't have to filter your feelings or "have it all figured out ." Whether you're coming in with a specific goal or just know something feels heavy, we'll start together.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to hold space for people in deep emotional pain without judgment, pressure, or the need to "fix" what cannot be fixed. I believe that grief needs to be witnessed. So often, what people need most is someone to sit beside then in their pain and truly see them; not rush them toward silver linings or solutions. With over a decade of experience in hospice and bereavement work, I 've learned how to walk alongside people through loss, caregiving, an d major life transitions. I'm not afraid of silence, tears, or the questions "Where do I go from here?" Clients often tell me they feel safe, heard, and understood, even in the places they thought were too much or too messy. My approach is gentle, grounded, and rooted in the belief that healing often begins when we feel less alone.
You don't need to be in crisis to seek support. I work best with clients who are feeling overwhelmed by life's changes; whether it's grieving a loved once, caring for a partner or parent in decline, or adjusting to a new chapter you didn't ask for. My ideal clients are thoughtful, compassionate people who may not always give themselves the same care they offer to others. They're often navigating big emotions quietly; feeling tired, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, but still showing up every day. You may not want a clinical checklist or quick fix. You may just want space to be honest, heard, and human. If you're looking for a gentle place to reflect, reset, and feel a little more like yourself again, that's where I come in.
I have over a decade of combined experience in hospice care and bereavement coordination, supporting individuals and families through anticipatory and post-loss grief. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, helping client process loss, find meaning, and adapt to life transitions at their own pace.
I use supportive therapy to provide a safe, validating space where client can process difficult emotions, build coping skills, and strengthen their inner resilience. My focus in on fostering trust, stability, and emotional insight, especially during periods of grief, caregiving, or life transition.
