You're trying to figure out why you feel flustered. Confused. Frustrated. Maybe you've got some ideas, maybe you're just trying to get by. You're out of answers but know you need support. You're in the right place.
I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist in Overland Park, KS. My title makes it seem like I only work with couples and families, but it really means I see the whole picture — how your relationships shape your inner life, and the other way around.
I mostly work with individuals carrying anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, the weight of old trauma, and that burnt-out, empty feeling. We dig deep into what you've lived through — but we don't stay there. We grow forward, toward the life you actually want.
In addition to my private practice work, I serve young people as a school counselor. My passion for helping others comes from a deep place of understanding.
Outside the office, you can find me on a trail near running water, at a local coffee shop, or in the sunshine reading a book.

Maybe you've tried diving into your trauma and felt left reeling. Or tried the positive-solutions-only thing and felt hollow. Here, we do both — making meaning of what you've experienced, then building back the life you want to live. You'll often see me reach for a book; knowledge is power.
We start by creating a steady, honest space — somewhere you can struggle and be met without judgment.
Together we find the patterns, and the reasons why. A powerful start — but never the ending point.
We rebuild helpful patterns, bolster self-esteem, and forge the future you want — together.
“Healing is found through the pain. Not avoiding it.”
People who find their way to me are often carrying:
Your business is your business. Therapy is a confidential space, and the work we do here can't always be captured in a black-and-white billing code.
Taking insurance out of the equation keeps our work unburdened and focused on you — not a diagnosis. If the private-pay rate feels like a barrier to reaching out, please tell me, and we'll talk through options or personally-vetted referrals.
If life has left you on read lately — come chat with me. Let's start with a free, no-pressure conversation.
