Welcome! I am an LCSW with 6+ years of experience with helping clients meet their emotional and mental health goals. My joy is seeing progress in my clients and creating a warm environment where you can thrive.
I believe in meeting my clients where they're at. They are the expert in their own story. I'm just here to listen, help process, maybe challenge, and encourage them in their journey. I went to Newman University for my Master's Degree and went on to get my Clinical License. I have worked with varying populations including teens, adults, geriatrics, the prison population, couples counseling, and Christian Counseling. I enjoy working with people who have been through trauma or grief or have experienced anxiety or depression.

I know what anxiety looks like in a middle schooler. I know how ADHD shows up in a classroom. And I know that the kids and families who need support deserve to get it without spending years trying to find relief.
I'm a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker — a credential I earned in November 2025, after raising two kids of my own while completing every requirement along the way. It took longer than I planned. I wouldn't change it. That experience shapes how I show up for every client.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Kansas and work as both a school social worker and a therapist, giving me a perspective on young people and families that's grounded in their real, daily lives.
As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, my goal is to create hope and help people to realize that together we can overcome whatever struggles they are facing.

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