About Me
Philosophy
As a licensed therapist in Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas with over 20 years of experience in social work, mental health, and the medical fields, I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome various challenges. My therapeutic approach focuses on addressing stress and anxiety, ADHD, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, depression, and the physiological impact of mental health on our bodies. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, looking at individuals as a whole while considering their parts. Expect empathy, honesty, humor, and occasional references to movie quotes, song lyrics, and even Tik Toks during our sessions.
Approach
I believe in a client-centered approach, providing a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Together, we work towards growth, healing, and personal development, fostering resilience and emotional well-being.
