I’m a licensed therapist (LPC, LCPC) who works with individuals, couples, and families dealing with things like anxiety, relationship stress, ADHD, trauma, and big life transitions. I bring both clinical experience and real-life understanding into the room, including my own experience navigating complex family dynamics. My goal is to create a space where you can be real. We’ll work together in a way that feels grounded, honest, and actually helpful.

Frequently asked questions

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.
