How can teletherapy work? How can you provide care remotely?

You may be tired of feeling stuck in the same cycles, weighed down by anxiety that will not let up, or triggered by memories that intrude when you least expect them. Trauma and complex PTSD often show up in both the body and mind, leaving you feeling on edge, hypervigilant, disconnected, or shut down. You might notice racing thoughts, panic, sleepless nights, or a deep sense of loneliness even when you are surrounded by people. In relationships, you may long for closeness yet feel guarded, or find yourself repeating patterns that leave you hurt and unseen. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. I work with individuals who are navigating trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, and relationship struggles. I use EMDR, somatic approaches, and attachment-focused therapy to help you process painful experiences, release what has been stored in the body, and find relief from symptoms that feel overwhelming. Together, we will create space for your nervous system to regulate, so you can move from survival into healing and begin to experience peace and connection again. I also work with couples and those preparing for marriage who want to strengthen their relationship. Whether you are struggling with communication, trust, conflict, or intimacy, or simply want to build a strong foundation before saying “I do,” couples therapy and premarital counseling provide a supportive space to grow together. Relationships shaped by past wounds or stress do not have to stay stuck in old patterns. Healing as a couple is possible, and you can learn to build connection, safety, and understanding with one another. My approach is compassionate and collaborative. This is not about rushing or forcing change, but about honoring your story and creating new ways forward. You deserve to feel safe in your own skin, to experience relationships marked by trust and love, and to find freedom from the pain you have carried. Healing is possible, and you do not have to walk through it alone. Christian counseling is available for clients requesting it. Contact me for your your free, no-obligation 15-minute video consultation today.

Have you lost yourself somewhere in the daily grind? Perhaps you’ve given so much of yourself to your children, your spouse, or your job that by the end of the day you find yourself frazzled, irritable, and exhausted. You might even wonder how you’ll muster the energy to do it all over again tomorrow. Have those same life distractions negatively impacted your relationship? Are you feeling alone and disconnected from your partner; more like roommates than lovers and friends? Or maybe you’re dealing with a difficult transition, and you’re not sure if/how you can feel better and move forward. As a wife & mother of three small children, I understand the unique pressures that modern relationships & parenting bring. I am adept at helping both individuals & couples navigate their journeys through major life difficulties/transitions. I believe in a mind/body approach to wellness and am passionate about helping individuals and couples in our community. As the old proverb goes, “you can’t pour from an empty cup.” If this is resonating with you, it’s time to take that first brave step into self-care. You owe it to yourself, your spouse, and your family. With the right tools, you will have the power to radically change your outlook and your life, for the better. I can’t wait to help you reinvest in yourself.

Hello! I started my group practice, Water & Stone, to offer people a better chance to find the right therapist for them. I have been working for over 10 years to bring mindfulness and contemplative psychotherapy to those interested in gaining insight and living a full life. I can’t wait to hear how we can support you in making it through a difficult time or finding new meaning in your daily life. 

I am eager to work with you to focus on your unique needs, goals, and resources. I have extensive experience working a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, identity and adjustment concerns. I will work with with you directly to determine the best recommendations and options for you including community resources and referrals if appropriate. Everyone deserves to feel heard and supported and you are no exception.

Welcome to my page, I'm grateful you are here to learn about how I can help you. I know firsthand how difficult it can be managing roles of wife, mother, and professional. Let me help you in your relationship! 

I am here to listen, understand, and help you get through this difficult time. Non-judgmental, empathetic, and willing to meet you where you are at each session, I am here to help you see things differently, help you change your mindset, and help you think, feel, and process important things in your life.

I've been a licensed counselor since 2016, having found my way to the field after having a career in a completely different one. I specialize in individual and couples therapy, as well as run a few groups. I maintain a private practice in the Kansas City metro area, with a physical location in Overland Park, as well as utilizing video sessions for those outside my immediate area. ​I graduated from Ottawa University with a Master's in Professional Counseling (and an undergrad in Psychology), and worked for a time in group practice in Cheyenne, WY, before moving back home to KC. Prior to entering the counseling field, I spent 15 years working in a natural health setting, which gave me a unique perspective on the ways the body holds on to emotions. I love to find creative ways to work with clients that incorporates all of my life and career experience. It's not unusual for me to practice mindfulness or relaxation exercises during a session with a client, or to incorporate the things a client wishes to into a session. ​Many people hesitate to reach out to a therapist because they're afraid of being judged. My job is not to judge, rather to sit with you, challenge you, and help clear the path to insight for you. It is always an individual's choice whether they act on the things worked on while in session. ​Call me and let's see how we can work together! (Have fun watching my videos and the frozen faces below! I got a good giggle out of some of them!)

Hi! Thanks for checking out my page. Considering a new therapist can be overwhelming, so let me tell you a little about myself: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Intern which means I am qualified to provide therapy in the state of Florida. I am a wife and mom of boys, and my great privilege in life is to listen to other people's stories and support them in their personal growth through a relational and collaborative approach to therapy. A trusting therapeutic relationship can make or break your therapy experience. I do not subscribe to any one type of therapeutic modality because everyone is different and has unique needs! That being said, some conditions show improved responses with particular interventions; if I feel like I cannot provide the particular type of therapeutic intervention you need I will be up-front and honest about that, and willing to help you find another suitable therapist. I currently only offer telehealth to Florida residents and do not accept any insurance. If you cannot afford my rate I may be able to accommodate you on a sliding scale that is .01% of your income. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation if you would like more information about me or this process. Take good care.

I currently hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in psychology. I tailor therapy to meet each client’s own needs as no two clients are the same. I work by empowering my clients with a nonjudgmental approach that helps them thrive on their own. I utilize evidence based therapeutic models to provide exceptional individualized care, treatment plans, interventions, and psychoeducation.

I have worked with people transitioning in life such as a new job, marriage, blended families, homelessness, and the symptoms they manifest as including anxiety and depression, addiction and much more. I have been providing individual and family counseling independently for 7 years. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics which has given me a wealth of knowledge in how your eating habits can also affect your mental well-being. My intention is to provide a structured and supportive environment for you to feel good about while meeting your goals that include a healthier mental and physical well-being. I look forward to working with you!
