My Specialties

Let's Connect

Let me start by sharing a bit about who I am, what I do, and the heart behind my work as a therapist. I grew up in a small town just outside of Kansas City, and nothing fills my cup more than giving back to the community that helped shape the person I am today.

Outside the therapy room, I’m a wife, mom, retired college athlete, and fur mama to what often feels like a small zoo. I’m a coffee enthusiast, a story keeper, horse girl at heart, and a Kansas City sports fanatic.

I bring that same energy and curiosity into my work, meeting you exactly where you are with care, insight, and a deep belief in your capacity to grow.
