Find a Therapist in Kansas City, Missouri.

We've all been wounded by others because "hurt people hurt people." Sometimes it can be a huge challenge to find someone who is healing in your life, not another source of further hurt and wounding. As much as our friends may have good intentions to help us, even they can wound us by their not taking the time to really understand from our perspective, jumping to advice giving, or minimizing our experience. My focus is to provide the space you need to explore and work through the areas of your life that are causing you distress, leading to the healing you desire.

My approach to counseling is what I describe as humanistic, cognitive behavioral therapy. I respect the right of each individual to make choices and encourage my clients to make the right choices and decisions for them. I believe in the bio-psychosocial model of assisting clients, and thus work with each in developing an understanding of their unique situation from this perspective. I am very comfortable in engaging with other providers such as primary care physicians in maximizing the benefits provided to my clients.

I have 15 + years of experience in the therapeutic process of psychotherapy. Psychotherapy consists of a series of techniques for treating mental health issues, emotional and some psychiatric disorders. With this type of "talk therapy," I individualize my techniques in way that is compassionate and safe and allows my clients to move toward recovery in a productive way.
