Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a licensed psychologist based in Kansas City, and I specialize in supporting people for whom ambition, achievement, and anxiety are intertwined. I work with driven, dedicated individuals across healthcare, academic, government, corporate, nonprofit, creative, and legal environments. You’re used to carrying a lot, and doing it well, but the internal cost can be heavy.

I understand the challenges of navigating your personal and professional worlds while managing acute stress, emotional overwhelm, harsh self‑criticism and shame, procrastination and avoidance, and exhaustion and burnout. When you’re constantly striving to meet ever-expanding expectations, whether they come from society, others in your life, or internally, it’s easy to lose touch with what matters most.

I also know that our mental and emotional well‑being is interconnected not only with our personal histories, but also broader community, cultural, historical, and sociopolitical contexts. As a woman and a person with a physical disability, I understand firsthand the weight of navigating systems and institutions that weren’t built to include everyone and often function in exclusionary ways. The added “tax” can quietly fuel self‑doubt, fatigue, disconnection, and pressure to over‑perform simply to be seen, heard, and valued.

I offer care that honors your individual experience while acknowledging the larger forces that impact it. By destigmatizing mental health, centering agency and empowerment, and working collaboratively, I provide an inclusive and affirming space where you can reconnect with yourself, your strengths, and your sense of meaning and purpose.
