Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.8 mi away • Overland Park, KS


I work with men, women, couples, and families who feel stuck in their relationships—especially when communication breaks down or emotions run high. Many of my clients are successful at work but find home life more challenging. I’ve worked in leadership roles managing teams and high-pressure decisions, so I understand that world. I bring a mix of counseling, pastoral, and leadership experience, and I create a space that is honest, practical, and non-judgmental.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lenexa

Finding the right therapist in Lenexa starts with getting clear on the type of care you're looking for. Consider whether you want help with a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions — or whether you're looking for general talk therapy. Providers in the Lenexa area include licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), marriage and family therapists (LMFTs), and psychologists, each with different training and approaches.

Once you know what you're looking for, practical factors like scheduling, location, and session format can help narrow your options. Many therapists in Lenexa offer both in-person and virtual appointments, which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. Reading a provider's bio before booking can also give you a sense of their style and whether they might be a good match.

Therapy in the Kansas City metro area can be expensive without coverage — but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session depending on your plan. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Lenexa who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
