You don’t have to do this alone.
If you’re here, something probably isn’t working the way you’d like it to. Maybe depression and anxiety have been running things. Maybe drinking or using has gotten harder to manage. Maybe something from your past keeps interrupting your life. Whatever brings you here, you don’t need to have it figured out to get started.
I’m a licensed counselor with 13 years of experience working with addiction, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Sessions with me are down-to-earth and conversational. We go at your pace and work together on what you want to change.
I take a harm reduction approach to substance use, so I meet you where you are, whether that’s cutting back, quitting, or just figuring it out. I’m also trained in EMDR, a research-backed therapy that helps the brain dial down the intensity of painful memories.
If you’re stuck in patterns you can’t break, figuring out what’s next, or carrying something from your past, I’d be glad to work with you. Outside the office, I’m a lifelong musician and a dad, so I’m used to listening closely.
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can see if we’re a good fit. I have openings for in-person or video clients, so feel free to message or call me. I’ll get back to you within 24 to 48 hours.

What to Expect
Starting therapy can be overwhelming, especially if you’ve never done it before. Here’s how it goes:
Free Consultation – a short 10-15 minute phone call to see if we’re a good fit. No pressure. No commitment. Just a conversation.
First session – You tell me about you: what’s going on right now, what your life is like, what you want therapy for.
Ongoing work – We have 50-minute sessions at your pace. You can come in every week, every other week, or once a month.
If you want to know more about me, there’s About Me for that. If you are ready to schedule therapy: Schedule Now or get in touch using the Contact page. I’d love to have a conversation with you to see if I’m a good fit for therapy for you in Kansas City.
