My Approach to Helping
I am a psychotherapist in both Kansas and Missouri and have been in the business of helping people for over ten years. First as a yoga instructor, then as an Ortho-Kinetics trained personal trainer, and now as an individual and couples therapist. I specialize in relationships, sexual challenges, attachment styles, and human connection. I love helping people learn to set healthy boundaries, challenge negative thoughts and beliefs, and ultimately learn to love and appreciate the person they see in the mirror. I am also a sex-positive clinician who enjoys working with people with diverse sexual desires, orientations, and practices.
I would consider myself an open-minded, accepting, non-judgmental, and goofy human being, but if there's one thing I want you to take away from my profile, I'm not your typical therapist. I am an Aquarius with many scorpios in my chart, also known as a free spirit with a feisty side. These personality traits show up in my therapy style. A lot of therapists will sit and listen to your challenges and stories, validate your feelings, and send you on your way. But in my opinion, that only gets you so far. Yes, it feels amazing to vent and have an unbiased person listen to you, but then what?
With such a heavy background in coaching, I guess you could say my therapy style is both warm and motivating, while also being goal-oriented. My hope is for you to leave every session with something to work on while also feeling extremely empowered to do so.
