I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping adults who live with trauma, anxiety, depression, and OCD. I draw from ACT, EMDR, embodiment practices, and parts work, and I am neurodivergent‐friendly and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I also have experience supporting clients through psychosis, grief, chronic health issues, spiritual trauma, eating disorders, and substance use disorders.

At the core of my work is a belief that every person has the capacity to choose who they become. As Jean‐Paul Sartre wrote, “We are constantly creating ourselves through action.” I see therapy as a space where you can explore that creation with support, clarity, and intention.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Kansas City

Finding an OCD specialist in Kansas City starts with looking for a provider who has specific training in evidence-based approaches like exposure and response prevention (ERP) or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). General therapists may not have the focused experience that OCD requires, so reviewing a provider's bio for their specialties and therapeutic approach can help you identify someone who is the right fit.

Kansas City has a growing network of mental health providers, but availability for OCD-focused care can vary — especially for in-person sessions in areas like Overland Park, the Country Club Plaza, or Independence. Virtual sessions can expand your options across the metro and connect you with providers who may have more immediate availability.

OCD therapy in Kansas City can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance 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 booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find a provider who specializes in OCD and accepts your plan.
