After earning my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Communication from Rockhurst University, I completed my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at the University of Missouri–Kansas City. During my graduate studies I gained hands-on experience in a variety of settings—including community mental health, facilities, and private practice—working with diverse client populations. I became skilled in several therapeutic modalities and led both individual and group sessions.

​

Following graduation, I spent two years at a higher level of care facility for women recovering from eating disorders where I ran the Intensive Outpatient Program. In that role, I provided individualized daily therapeutic support and collaborated with each client’s multidisciplinary care team to assist in sustainable, long-term recovery.

​

Since 2017 I have been offering individual outpatient treatment in my private practice. I became clinically licensed in the state of Kansas in 2021, just before welcoming my son—what a year! In 2024, I expanded my credentials to include clinical licensure in Missouri, allowing me expand my reach and offer telehealth services to clients across both states. My physical office is located in Overland Park, KS where I work with adult individuals navigating challenges such as eating disorders, anxiety, stress, grief, life transitions, and more.

​

In my years of practice, I have found deep meaning in helping clients reclaim their stories. In our work together, you’ll learn to own your narrative, uncover your inner strength, and use practical tools to create real, lasting change. My ultimate goal is to normalize proactive coping, aiming to be one small but meaningful piece in the larger puzzle of reducing the widespread impact of stress, trauma, and emotional overwhelm in our society.

​

Of course, healing starts with honest reflection. Many of us carry behaviors and habits that once served a purpose but are no longer helping us thrive. In therapy, we’ll work to release those outdated patterns and replace them with empowering, creative strategies, leaving you more confident and capable of handling life’s challenges with clarity and purpose.

 

As of 2024, I am also board certified to provide clinical supervision to Kansas clinicians. I offer support to those pursuing clinical licensure, seeking guidance through the reparations process or simply wish to grow in the field.
