Therapists Beginning With F in Missouri

I am one of the most open-minded, non-judgmental people you will ever work with. Many times, clients have begun sessions afraid and timid about sharing details of their life with me. Once they get to know me, they understand that they are truly in a judgment-free zone. I am curious about you, your life, and what brought you to therapy. I have worked with a wide range of clients from adults in custody with substance use disorders to vulnerable populations with serious mental illness. Whatever the problem is, we can tackle it together.

Compassion. Insight. Empowerment. I strive to make counseling an approachable experience through genuine support, compassionate guidance, warmth, and humor. I believe psychotherapy is a therapeutic partnership between client and therapist; that listening, understanding and respecting each patient's unique story is necessary for bringing about positive change. I have experience working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. My goal is to help clients recognize and change counterproductive patterns in their lives and learn skills that can lead to a more fulfilling, peaceful, and rewarding life.

You are here for a reason, and I am here to support you in your journey. I provide a welcoming therapeutic environment that offers a safe place to facilitate change, promote personal growth, and learn new strategies and coping skills to manage distress. I value each individual that I work with and tailor my therapy practice to meet you at your level of comfort during our sessions. My goal is to collaborate with you to understand your current concerns and work together to find your path to peace and healing.

I also provide EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) therapy; and Hypnotherapy. Therapeutic approaches are individualized and provided with respect to client needs and preferences.

I look forward to working with clients whose life path may have created difficulties for them that has led them not be the best of who they can be. Each individual's path may have been sprinkled with physical or emotional abuse, neglect, assault, grief and loss, domestic violence, marital or parental discord or a myriad of other situations. Sometimes these life paths create in my clients a feeling of hopeless and loss of self-worth, sometimes these path end with someone needing to determine a plan to leave an unsafe living situation. Sometimes these paths lead to turning to substances and illegal drugs to cope with the internal turmoil and pain. It is my privlege to work with clients to help them identify and bring forth the best of who they are and what they want for their life, their family and their future through their own individual strengths.

Welcome! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Missouri and certified in DBT. I have diverse experience in working with teens and young adults in various settings, such as private practice, inpatient psychiatry, youth case management, outpatient substance abuse for teens, and adolescent intensive outpatient programming (IOP). I have also volunteered at a crisis hotline and a child development IRB research lab. I’m a proud Eagle Scout and a Big Brothers Big Sisters of KC mentor. My specialty and passion is helping teens and young adults. I provide in-office services.

I have a passion for working with people seeking to find peace, healing, and growth in their lives. I facilitate a calm and supportive space for people so they can find healing for wounds both past and present. I have found that most problems people are dealing with results from unhealed trauma and grievances. I work with people to help them understand themselves, their hurts, their strengths, and their resources so they can heal and grow. Therapy is something I am passionate about because I've seen it work for people time and time again.

To anyone who may be struggling but are willing to give therapy a chance: I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here taking strides towards helping yourself find peace, pursue growth, and gain support while working through challenges life may have thrown at you. Every person deserves to feel whole, safe, and heard while they are on their journey. In both my professional and personal experience, therapy is a profound process that can help guide people to find these things within themselves.

Life can be chaotic and stressful. As a therapist, my passion is helping clients create more peace & presence in their stressful lives so that they can tap into their intuition and connect to their authentic selves. Through collaborative work and an emphasis on mind-body connection, I support clients as they explore their deepest pains, longings, & hopes. Through this reflective work, we can view our obstacles with new eyes, implement effective coping skills, cultivate mindfulness practices, & create change.

Now virtual and in person! Challenging times and unforeseen life deviations happen. Relationships struggle and sometimes end. Hurt, stress, grief, depression and anxiety are often a result. Counseling is a powerful benefit to help you navigate your journey to reach healing and growth. You do not have to walk through it alone. I can help you to understand your situation, cope, and move through life productively.

Whether you're battling with anxiety or the weight of depression, or you're feeling overwhelmed by stress and trauma, I'm eager to connect with you and be a part of your journey toward healing and growth.

You're looking for a therapist? I'm a therapist! Everybody has their own individual struggles in life whether it be working through anger, self-esteem issues, ineffective coping skills, trauma, shame, attachment issues or trust. I believe that the individual drives the treatment and achievement of goals. Your opinions, feelings and hopes will always matter in your treatment. I’m very passionate about working with clients in a way that best fits them. Life can be hard so it’s important to have a safe place to process and have a person make you feel seen and heard. I hope to be able to provide this safe and supportive space.

Welcome! Thank you for considering reaching out to inquire about therapy services. I am a Licensed Professional Therapist with a Bachelors in Psychological Science and a Masters in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have been in the behavorial health field for about 8 years. I have experience working with children, teens and adults from several ethnic, religious and social economic backgrounds. I have experience in community, private practice and all schools from preschool to college. I use strength-based modalities such as Cognitive-Behavorial Therapy.

Are you struggling with various relationships in your life? Do you feel guilty when you try to set boundaries that would be in your best interest? I believe boundaries are essential for our mental health. I help my clients understand their feelings while providing a safe and comforting environment.

You are born with traits, tendencies and vulnerabilities that are influenced and shaped by your experience in the world. Sometimes those experiences can leave you feeling misunderstood, ashamed, or even alone. Through a collaborative therapy relationship, I believe we can begin to unpack the impact of our experiences, reflect on who we are, and recognize the strength we have to become the person we want to be. Self-reflection is hard, but it is often through this effort we find answers for which we have been searching.

Do you feel alone, and like no one cares? I care about you and your well being. I want to help you win against the struggles you are facing. You are capable of more than you think and I want to bring out the best in you. I am confident that i can help you. I want to be a shoulder to lean on emotionally as well as to cry on. I love working with new people, of all differences, and diversities. Given the chance, I would love to serve and care for you in your time of need.

Oh, hello there! Thanks for wondering on by! You might be asking yourself, “what the heck am I doing here?” “how did I even get here?” and “Where did my sandwich go?” That last one might just be me…. Maybe you're feeling a bit like my imaginary friend Sarah, a marketing whiz with dreams as big as her to-do list. But sometimes, her brain resembles a squirrel on a caffeine bender rather than a well-oiled machine. Sound familiar?
