​

I decided to become a therapist after my senior year of high school. This decision became clear to me through my own healing in therapy. My experience inspired me to dedicate my career to helping others in their recovery.

 

I went on to earn my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Northwest Missouri State University (Go Bearcats!) and my Master of Social Work at the University of Kansas. 

 

My clinical interests are eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders. These areas are meaningful to me not only professionally, but also personally. Having struggled with and recovered from an eating disorder, I have a deep empathy for those facing similar challenges. Additionally, as someone who is naturally sensitive and prone to anxiety, I’ve dedicated a lot of my time to learning how to navigate this often overwhelming world.  My own journey fuels my passion for helping you, or your loved one, manage these challenges with more ease.

​

Clients often describe me as relational, energetic, and compassionate. I approach each session with a non-judgmental, gentle, and curious spirit, creating a safe space for exploration and growth.
