Hello! I am a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker in the state of Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. I have been practicing social work for 16 years. I have worked in a variety of settings to include inpatient/outpatient mental health, domestic violence, and private practice. I work with a variety of ages and various populations. Much of my experience has been working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, and the challenges of parenting.

What can members expect to take away from sessions with you?

I know starting therapy is scary. I am here to help. I will listen, provide support. I will offer a safe space to share thoughts, feelings and experiences while helping you to learn coping skills and ways to improve your mental well-being.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths?

I am dedicated to supporting individuals in navigating life’s challenges. With a warm, inquisitive approach complemented by empathy and humor, I create a safe and engaging space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions and personal growth. I am passionate about helping others build resilience, find clarity and live more fulfilling lives.
