I am so glad you are here.

 

With nearly 15 years of clinical experience and over 20 years in social work, I believe that the heart of healing lies in the relationship between therapist and client. I approach therapy with compassion, respect, and a commitment to collaboration and consent. My passion lies in creating a space where clients feel truly safe and empowered to dive deep into their experiences, illuminating transformation and resilience.

​

My work integrates mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Somatic Experiencing (SE), a body-based treatment that helps clients regulate their nervous systems and reconnect with a sense of peace. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a transformative therapy that shifts negative core beliefs and traumatic experiences. As an EMDRIA Consultant, I also mentor EMDR therapists, guiding them to hone their skills and confidence.

​

As a Certified Perinatal Trauma Specialist, I partner with clients navigating perinatal mental health crises, including pregnancy, infant loss, and birth trauma. I continue to seek advanced training and consultation in this area to ensure that my clients feel supported during some of life’s most vulnerable moments.

 

In my practice, I use the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), a powerful and compassionate approach to healing attachment wounds, developmental trauma, and complex PTSD. This framework helps clients deepen their relationships, reconnect with their true selves, and reclaim their sense of agency.

​

A Kansas City native, I am LGBTQ-affirming and committed to social justice, including the belief that Black and Brown voices matter. Outside of my practice, I enjoy traveling, gardening, learning, and exploring art museums.

​

Whether you are seeking to heal from trauma, process loss, or deepen self-understanding, I am honored to walk alongside you. Together, we will create a path toward the life and relief you deserve.​​​
