Real Change Through Counseling — For Couples and Individuals in Kansas City

I believe therapy should lead to progress you can feel, plus practical tools you can actually use in daily life. My work is grounded in compassion, honesty, and evidence-based approaches so you leave each session with clarity and next steps, not just conversation. FOR COUPLES: I draw from the Gottman Method, attachment work, and healthy boundaries to strengthen communication and build a relationship that not only lasts—but one you genuinely enjoy. If you’re navigating betrayal or infidelity, I’m trained in therapeutic disclosures, re-attunement, and rebuilding trust. Or, when needed, in helping you heal and move forward separately. FOR INDIVIDUALS: I use IFS, EMDR, DBT, and CBT to help you heal from trauma, manage anxiety, and feel more grounded in yourself. I’ve seen transformation happen, and I believe it’s possible for you too. Alongside deep healing work, I also incorporate solution-focused tools and skills training so you can start making life feel more stable and more yours. FEES AND SCHEDULING: I offer in-person therapy in Kansas City, MO or online tele-sessions—your choice. I’m available evenings and weekends. My sessions are self-pay (I do not take insurance), which allows us to focus fully on your care with greater privacy, flexibility, and personalization. I welcome individuals, couples, families, and groups. Choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming, so here’s my promise: I’ll be real with you, I’ll listen without judgment, and I’ll show up with both compassion and competence so our work together feels grounded, honest, and worth your time.
