I'm a certified nurse practitioner of 10 years. I've been caring for patients with psychiatric conditions for the past 5 years. My goal is to create a space where you can be open, honest, and as expressive as you need to be.
I provide counseling therapy to individuals with an Open Bible, offering therapeutic insight from a Christian perspective. I am a trained, licensed therapist who understands God's role in healing and integrates Biblical principles into therapeutic conversations to guide you toward better mental health. GOD is Good! My goal is to help you see this through Scripture, which provides guidance and navigation through the toughest times in life. Your emotional pain is more than a physical or mental struggle – it’s a spiritual response to suffering. I’ll walk beside you as we examine what is true, worthy, honest, and right.
My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck - whether from the pressures of work, family, trauma, or life transitions. They may be experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, or the lingering effects of trauma. Many are high functioning professionals, first responders, healthcare workers, or veterans who've spent years putting others first and are now realizing their own mental health needs attention. They're seeking a provider who listens, validates, and offers practical, stigma-free care to ease symptoms, improve focus and sleep, and regain balance with a collaborative, holistic plan.
I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with individual adults. I support clients navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, emotional regulation, relationship patterns, identity, and life transitions. My work is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and grounded in the belief that therapy can help you better understand yourself, strengthen self-trust, and the clinical belief that any person can change course in life at any time.
I draw from approaches such as EFT, IFS, ACT, and integrative experiential techniques, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore emotions, patterns, and strategies that help you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to yourself and the relationships that matter most.
Welcome! No matter what challenges you're facing—whether personal struggles, uncertainty in the world, or simply the weight of daily stressors—it can feel overwhelming at times. I would like to support you! I am easy to talk to and not judgmental.
I have a lot of experience with the following issues: depression, stress management, anxiety, relationship issues, addiction/substance abuse, trauma, emotional and physical abuse, and life transitions.
I have a Masters in Counseling and a Bachelors in Psychology.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Kansas City, MO
Finding addiction therapists in Kansas City starts with looking for care that matches the specific concern you want support for. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, cravings, and relapse prevention. Many therapists list experience with approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also choose to work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so reading each therapist’s specialties and approach can help you identify the right fit.
Kansas City offers a range of local options, from in-person appointments near central neighborhoods to virtual therapy across Missouri. Virtual care can also expand access if you want a therapist with specific addiction experience, alcohol support services, or a background that aligns with your preferences. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their communication style. Recovery can involve changes over time, so a non-judgmental therapist with experience in harm reduction or substance use support may be an important factor in your search.
Therapy in Kansas City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find addiction therapists, many of whom accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse profiles, compare specialties, and schedule directly when you’re ready.
