A child creates art to express themselves during a counseling session

Helping kids & teens in the Northland navigate behavioral challenges, mental health and life changes

Let’s connect

I offer free 15-minute consultations or 45-minute sessions for $110 at Ampersand Counseling offices in the historic Liberty downtown square.

If you’re ready to take the first step (and even if you’re not quite sure yet), find a therapy option that works for you by calling or texting 816-945-2403 or use the button below, which leads to a contact form.

We can talk through any concerns or questions you may have, and what to expect when it comes to counseling and your kiddo(s). You can also get to know more about me here first.

 

Get to know
your counselor

Striving to create safe, reliable and empathetic spaces, I specialize in counseling and therapy for kids and teens in the Northland and KC area.

With more than a decade of experience as a school counselor at Park Hill and Liberty schools, I transitioned into private practice as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC) to be able to connect with and help kids on a more one-to-one level.

I work with children that come from a wide variety backgrounds and am able to create a helpful approach both at home and in school (when needed).

Approaching counseling and play therapy from a child-centered, trauma-informed and solution-focused perspective, I use open-ended activities and creativity with each child and teen to help them understand and discover unique solutions.

I’m here to help and look forward to walking alongside you and your family as you continue into your next chapter!
