I offer Telehealth services. I provide a practical approach to therapy that focuses on integrating mind and body connection. I believe the best way to heal is to embrace our uniqueness and live from a place of creativity. I work with my clients on how to self-regulate, trust their intuition, and release trauma in the body so they can make room for more life!
I want to make sure I'm a good fit for what my client is looking for and that we're going to be able to work well together. I prioritize comfort in a first session.
Hi there! Just a little bit about me; I am a wife, a mom of twins, a lover of books, an Eight on the Enneagram & I love the work that I am blessed to do every day. I have my MS in Counseling as well as my certificate in Life Coaching. I am licensed clinically in KS & MO, and I am a Supervisor in both states. I specialize in treating eating disorders. I also enjoy working with anxiety & mood disorders, perfectionism and other co-occurring disorders.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with over three years of experience helping individuals navigate and process traumatic events. I am passionate about supporting clients in growing and excelling amid life's challenges. I want everyone to grow and become a healthier, more balanced version of themselves.
I began my career in community mental health in 2010. I completed my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Evangel University. Prior to becoming a therapist I worked as a nurse for 13 years. This background leads me to take a holistic, whole-person approach to my practice. I work with children, adolescents, and adults and have specialized in treatment of trauma, ADHD, and child-parent conflicts.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Kansas City, MO
Finding family therapists in Kansas City starts with understanding what your family wants to address together. Family counseling can support parenting conflict, adolescent concerns, blended family dynamics, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with family counseling, child and teen support, couples work, or approaches like family systems therapy.
In a mid-sized market like Kansas City, you may find a mix of local offices and virtual appointments across the metro area. Some families prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions to make it easier for multiple people to attend from different locations. Session structure may vary, including full-family sessions, parent sessions, sibling sessions, or individual meetings with one family member. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each therapist structures care, communicates with families, and approaches shared goals.
Family counseling 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 see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you compare therapists who offer family counseling in Kansas City, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
