I am so glad you are here.

With nearly 15 years of clinical experience and over 20 years in social work, I believe that healing starts with connection. I strive to create a space where my clients feel truly seen, heard, and supported.

​

My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, respect, and collaboration. I prioritize consent and safety, ensuring that clients feel empowered in their healing process. I integrate mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Somatic Experiencing (SE)—a body-based approach that helps regulate the nervous system and restore a sense of peace. I’m also certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful therapy that helps shift negative core beliefs and process trauma. As an EMDRIA Consultant, I mentor other EMDR therapists, helping them build confidence and deepen their skills.

​

As a Certified Perinatal Trauma Specialist, I work closely with individuals navigating perinatal mental health challenges, including pregnancy, infant loss, and birth trauma. I continue to seek advanced training and consultation to ensure my clients receive the highest level of support during these deeply vulnerable experiences.

​

I also incorporate the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), a compassionate and effective approach to healing attachment wounds, developmental trauma, and complex PTSD. This framework helps clients strengthen relationships, reconnect with their authentic selves, and reclaim their sense of agency.

​

A Kansas City native, I am LGBTQ-affirming and committed to social justice, including uplifting Black and Brown voices. Outside of my practice, I love traveling, gardening, lifelong learning, and exploring art museums.

​

Whether you’re working through trauma, processing loss, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Together, we will create a path toward the healing and relief you deserve.
