I bring both clinical skills and real-world understanding. I’m not a “blank slate” therapist- I show up as a real person. I offer connection, humor, and authenticity, and I tailor evidence-based tools to meet your specific needs. I have been in the mental health field since 2021. I earned my Bachelor’s from Drury in 2019 and my Master’s from Mizzou in 2023.
I’m here to support you as you navigate your healing, no matter what brings you through the door. Many of my clients carry emotional wounds that impact their relationships, self-worth, and overall well-being. These often stem from early experiences where safety or connection was disrupted. I tailor my approach to each person, using insights from trauma trainings, attachment theories, and relational work. Healing isn’t about fixing yourself- it’s about being seen, understood, and supported. I’d be honored to walk alongside you, whether you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or just tired of carrying it all alone.
In our first session, clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we focus on getting to know one another. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, your current concerns, and what you’re hoping to gain from our work together. I’ll also ask questions about your background, stressors, strengths, and coping strategies to better understand your needs. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and my goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer sense of how therapy can help.
