I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, (MO) Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (KS), and Registered Play Therapist- Supervisor. Those credentials let you know that I am licensed to practice counseling in the states of Missouri and Kansas, and have extensive training and certification to practice play therapy. I am also a member of The Association for Play Therapy.

I’ve been practicing therapy since 2012. I work with young children, teens, and adults. I specialize in working with young children and supporting parents to have mentally healthy and happy kids. Play therapy is just one approach I use to do this.

Asking for help is difficult, and can be scary and intimidating. My approach to counseling includes a strong belief in the short and long term benefits of counseling. Some of these include:

• Gaining the motivation to tackle areas of life in which you feel stuck
• Feeling more deeply connected to your true self and others
• Finding a renewed sense of self and purpose in life
• Gaining the skills to handle future situations that may arise that are difficult
• Some of the benefits of counseling for children include better peer relationships, improved school performance, and a happier outlook on life

If you are looking for a therapist in the Kansas City area, or a play therapist in the Kansas City area, I look forward to serving your family and helping you to have healthy kids and a happy family life.
