As a doctoral student at Kansas City University, I am grateful to continue my clinical training through Maxwell Psychological Services. I do not view therapy as simply a service, but as deeply meaningful work and a calling I feel honored to pursue.

I care deeply about creating a space where people feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to keep going, and seen beyond the symptoms or circumstances that brought them into therapy. I believe every person has a story worth understanding, and I consider it a privilege to sit with clients in the places that feel heavy, confusing, painful, or hard to say out loud. I tend to show up with warmth, curiosity, and a genuine desire to understand who you are, not just what you’re going through.

My clinical interests include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, identity development, and patterns that feel difficult to change. I also have a special interest in working with individuals who have experienced religious trauma or have been impacted by high-control groups or cults. I am passionate about helping clients process these experiences with care, reclaim their sense of self, and move toward healing in a way that feels safe and empowering.

I am especially drawn to helping clients make sense of their stories, understand the ways their experiences have shaped them, and begin moving toward healing with greater compassion and clarity. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative. I value both meaningful insight and practical support, and I believe therapy can be a place where clients learn to relate to themselves, others, and their lives in new and more meaningful ways.

I remain committed to lifelong learning and to becoming a clinician who serves with humility, excellence, and care. I am honored for the opportunity to walk alongside clients as they pursue healing, growth, and a life that feels more whole.
