How I Work

I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT), and adjunct professor at Friends University for their graduate Marriage and Family Therapy program. I use family systems theory in my practice to focus on how relationships, cultural context, and personal identity shape the challenges my clients face. I am drawn to therapeutic modalities that incorporate somatic work, mindfulness, solution-focused approaches, and humor.

I actively volunteer as a mental health provider for Gender Affirming Night at JayDoc Free Clinic at the University of Kansas Medical Center, supporting transgender and gender-diverse individuals in need of gender-affirming care. I hold a Bachelor’s in General Science from the University of Kansas and a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Valdosta State University. My full-time private practice is located in Corporate Woods, Overland Park, KS.

For the human side of me:

  • I’m an artist

  • I’m deeply obsessed with film and TV

  • I love to see live music and try new restaurants

  • I have 12 tattoos and 6 piercings

  • I can usually be heard laughing (loudly)

  • I have a black cat named Honey, who you will most likely see supervising in the background during virtual sessions

I work to help individuals, couples and families through challenges with negative body image, low self-esteem and confidence, identity issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict and life transitions.

Therapy with me will have you:

  • Improving your assertiveness

  • Increasing your capacity for direct communication

  • Setting realistic boundaries that you can hold yourself accountable to

  • Implementing healthier habits and rituals that better serve the quality of life you seek

  • Improving the relationship you have with your mind and body

I am privileged to work with diverse clients that experience diverse challenges.

I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, and welcome all identities and all bodies in the therapy room!
