Life can feel heavy at times—whether you’re coping with past trauma, struggling with anxiety or depression, managing bipolar disorder, or just feeling overwhelmed by daily stress. You may find yourself stuck in painful patterns, unsure how to move forward, or exhausted from trying to hold it all together. Therapy can be a space to finally set that burden down and begin healing.

I specialize in helping adults navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Using a compassionate and collaborative approach, I tailor sessions to meet your needs through EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based methods. My goal is to help you understand your experiences, build practical coping tools, and restore a sense of balance and confidence in your life.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri and Oklahoma, offering teletherapy sessions to make care accessible and convenient. Together, we’ll focus on your strengths and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. You don’t have to go through this alone—reach out today and let’s start your path toward healing.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Missouri

Finding the right therapist in Missouri starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Common reasons people seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, and life transitions. Missouri is home to a wide range of licensed providers — including Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

Practical factors matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near you or virtual visits from home, and look for a provider whose availability fits your schedule. If you're in a larger metro area like Kansas City or St. Louis, you'll likely have more options for both in-person and virtual care. In more rural parts of the state, virtual sessions can connect you with providers you might not otherwise be able to see.

Therapy in Missouri can vary in cost, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
