About Me
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and adjunct professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC). I utilize family systems theory in my practice, focusing 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, humor, and collaboration.
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.
I work to help individuals, couples and families through challenges with body image and weight concerns, low self-esteem and confidence, identity issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, relational problems and life transitions.
I have been privileged to work with diverse clients that experience diverse challenges. If you’re not experiencing anything that is listed above, please reach out - I might be able to help!
I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, and welcome clients of color and clients of size.
I am currently supervised by Dr. Betsy Henderson, LCMFT, LCMFT 2954.
