Founder and Licensed Psychologist

Who I am : I have lived in Kansas City since 2018. I have a school age son and a husband. I am a nature lover, exercise enthusiast, dog and cat mom, and I love exploring new places and events.

Where I'm from: I have previously lived in Atlanta, GA, Milwaukee, WI, Chicago, IL, Lawrence, KS, and now Kansas City, KS. Most people in Kansas City tend to comment on my Wisconsin accent. I love the big city vibe of Kansas City, while still being small enough to not have bad rush hour traffic.

Where I live: I recently moved to Kansas City, KS, and I love my community. It is also a great blend of wooded and natural areas while still being nearby the Kansas City downtown area. I chose to set up my practice in KCK to offer services in an underserved area.

What I live for: I love traveling, exercising, and pushing myself to expand my comfort zone. I love house plants and gardening, spending time outdoors, and challenging myself at endurance sports.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I have a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology and a Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, IL.

I have been doing psychological evaluations and therapy since 2013. I have worked in a range of settings, from schools, community mental health centers, group practices, and now private practice. I have done a range of evaluations in the past. I am currently specialized in ADHD and autism evaluations, personality disorder evaluations, and general mental health diagnosis evaluations. For therapy, I specialize in trauma therapy, identity issues, grief counseling, and bottom-up approaches to therapy (e.g., EMDR, sandtray therapy, expressive arts, etc.)
