I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 1 year of experience and over 20 years in health care. I specialize in providing compassionate, individualized psychiatric care to clients across the lifespan. As a dual-certified nurse practitioner in family and psychiatric care, I am dedicated to advocating for my clients and supporting diverse backgrounds with thoughtful, patient-centered treatment.

I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Indiana Wesleyan University. My background includes advanced practice experience and a strong foundation in holistic care. I meet clients where they are, using evidence-based approaches to guide treatment and promote improved mental health outcomes.

I understand that asking for help is not always easy. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering support, guidance, and practical strategies as you move toward brighter days. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you take that first step toward feeling better.

I’m a board-certified psychiatrist based in Kansas City with experience treating adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other common mental health challenges. I believe effective care starts with listening and understanding each person’s unique story. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and evidence-based, and I work closely with patients to develop practical treatment plans that help improve focus, mood, and overall quality of life.

My approach is collaborative and practical. I take time to understand each patient’s goals and challenges, then work together to create a clear, evidence-based treatment plan. Patients can expect thoughtful conversations, careful medication management, and a focus on helping them make meaningful progress in daily life.

I know reaching out for mental health care can feel like a big step. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable discussing what’s going on. If you’re looking for thoughtful, collaborative care, I’d be glad to work with you.

I’m a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of experience in healthcare. I’m passionate about supporting individuals and families as they navigate mental health challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I work with adults balancing family and work demands while managing anxiety, depression, or past experiences. My goal is to help each person strengthen their sense of connection, well-being, and self-awareness through compassionate, personalized care.

I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Maryville University. My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a trauma-informed perspective. I incorporate cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and holistic techniques to meet the unique needs of each client and foster a safe space for growth and healing.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, but it’s also an empowering act of courage and self-care. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone, and together we can work toward balance, healing, and renewed hope. I invite you to take the next step toward the care and connection you deserve.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 10 years of experience, and more than 6 years of experience working as a therapist. Prior to working as a professional counselor, I provided clinical case management to individuals with mental health and substance abuse issues in a variety of settings. I am passionate about helping individuals who are striving to overcome issues like depression, anxiety, life transitions, anger, self-destructive behavior (substance use, self-sabotage, etc.), and existential crises.

I completed my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Walden University and my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at Marquette University. I take a strength-based approach with each client, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in my care.

As a counselor who has been influenced by the work of Dr. Viktor Frankl, I place emphasis on helping clients to create meaning in the midst of difficult circumstances in order to turn tragedies into triumphs. If you are ready to explore how you can best respond to your current challenges, schedule an appointment with me today.
