COUNSELING for DEPRESSION & SELF-WORTH

Online & In-Person Therapy in Kansas & Missouri

YOU CAN’T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME YOU FELT A “spark.”

Your day-to-day life has become a monotonous cycle that does nothing to excite you or bring you joy. Instead, you go through the motions on auto-pilot with no energy or motivation to change it. A fog settled over you at some point long ago, and the recent past seems like a blur.

You’ve worked your ass off all your life, and aren’t sure what or who it was really for—you feel…hollow. A sense of loneliness follows you everywhere, even when you’re surrounded by loved ones. The voice in your head that criticizes your every move only makes you feel more alone.

YOU WISH YOU DIDN’T CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK, BUT…

In every quiet moment, you find yourself obsessing over it.

You’ve learned to fake confidence so well, no one would ever guess that deep down you don’t actually like yourself. When you look around, you’re not sure what the point of anything really is. All you want is to be interested and involved in your own life again, but just can’t seem to connect to any part of it.

THERE IS A FUTURE WHERE YOU FEEL GOOD.

Imagine a life where you have a strong sense of self and can define success on your own terms.

In this life, you take the time to tend to your needs, and still have energy left over to support those you love. You have hobbies and interests that make you feel alive, and are able to feel close to your friends and family. Staying present has become a regular practice—you no longer waste time lingering in the past. Now, you genuinely value your own opinion of yourself over those of others.

If you’re reading this…

That life is waiting for you.

I’ll give you the support and tools you’ll need to establish a strong foundation of self-care, because overcoming your depression and low self-worth simply isn’t possible without it. You’ll learn to accept yourself completely, and realize that you don’t have to prove anything to anyone.

I’ll invite you to explore and challenge the ideas you have about yourself and where they may have initially come from. We’ll discuss the thoughts and feelings you tend to try and avoid, and discover how to manage them instead. You’ll have a toolbox full of healthy coping skills to use the next time something pushes you to the edge, so it doesn’t derail your life again.

BECAUSE IT is POSSIBLE TO…

  • Have closer relationships and feel supported

  • Rediscover your identity beyond your defined roles

  • Prioritize self-care the same way you prioritize the needs of others

  • Lower the volume of your self-critical inner monologue

  • Cultivate balance in your daily life

YOU deserve THE CONNECTION YOU crave.

Frequently asked questions

  • Depression isn’t just feeling sad. It’s when you experience intense and persistent feelings of hopelessness, emptiness, and worthlessness. These feelings can make it difficult to find joy or motivation in life. The root cause of depression is different from person to person, but some people find that genetic and environmental factors play a role.

  • Any confident person will tell you it’s a daily practice, and learning to believe in your value and worthiness is absolutely possible. It's important because when you trust in your abilities and can face challenges with resilience, you’ll be able to pursue your goals without fear of failure and unlock your full potential.

  • In my practice, I mainly use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Feminist Theory, Mindfulness, and Self Compassion to address these issues. These, along with other therapy frameworks, help me meet you where you are and define a path forward for you as an individual. You can learn more about my approach on my about page.
