Therapy is a journey; my role is simply to walk with you as you navigate the stressors and complications of life. It is my goal to provide a secure and healing environment in which you can begin the process of restoring the person you wish to be. I believe you are worthy of an unbiased, safe and productive opportunity to process your experiences.

Joel is a Licensed Master Social Worker with nearly a decade of experience in the mental and behavioral health profession. "I am an empathetic provider and an advocate for all; including the marginalized." Treatment focus range ages 14 to 65+.

I focus on the capability and strengths of women. Women are faced with multiple roles in their lives often leaving them feeling overwhelmed and burned out resulting in anxiety and depression. I believe women are capable of anything however just because we are capable does not mean we should. We all need the reminder we are experts on ourselves, even when we do not feel we are. We are ENOUGH! I have been a mother for 26 years which has led me the ability to support other women in their motherhood and life journey. I applaud bravery which all clients exhibit when reaching out for help.

I believe that PLAY is for everyone and I love incorporating play therapy techniques into my sessions with clients of all ages. I specialize in children, adolescents and young adults who have experienced or witnessed interpersonal violence (sexual assault, child sexual abuse, domestic violence). I am also an enthusiastic advocate for children/adolescents of color in their explorations of race, privilege, representation, and identity.

I work with individuals, couples, and families ranging in age from children through geriatric addressing multiple issues including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, behavioral issues, relational problems, anger management, and coping skills.

I am here to be a compassionate, non-judgmental witness to any human that needs one. I believe a strong, collaborative relationship between client and therapist is important to helping you grow and heal. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR trained. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults, with an emphasis on trauma-work and sexual assault. I have experience working with couples, families, and individuals. I am also mindful of my clients’ intersectional and multicultural identities and how that may influence our work together. Reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consult!

My ideal client is a human person living on the earth. I believe that even though the human experience is subjective and unique, there are ways to connect and heal that transcend the superficial and speak to the core essence of our humanity and our shared experience of being alive. All humans suffer trauma and even though the specific details are unique, the experience of grief and recovery have universal features that are accessible to anyone who seeks them out. I believe that all humans are equal and that everyone deserves to feel heard and seen. I am here to facilitate healing and growth in a non-judgmental and fun environment

Are you struggling with who you are, your worthiness, shameful experiences and your right to live a joyful life? If so, there is a successful way to begin healing, moving forward and taking back your power. Asking for help can be a difficult task that takes strength and courage; both of which you are capable of! Together, I hope that I can help to empower you to work through the trials and tribulations of life and begin to see the world in a new and vibrant light.

Maybe you're over-functioning, or maybe you can hardly get out of bed in the morning. Your past seems to have this unshakable hold on you—leaving you feeling anxious, down, angry, guilty, shameful, numb, or hopeless. There's a sense of disappointment and embarrassment that you haven't figured this out on your own. Those dark humor memes on social media are super relatable. Ever think that maybe feeling terrible shouldn't be relatable?

Life can often feel overwhelming. At times that feeling seems to be more than we can handle on our own. These times can be really difficult to navigate alone. When relationships that we count on fall apart, emotions get out of control, and our strategies for just feeling okay seem to do us more harm than good, reaching out to someone for help can be a powerful first step in getting things back in balance.

I will work with you as an individual/couple/family by assessing what is most important to you in achieving a positive outcome that you decide you would like to achieve. I have been in private practice since 1993 completing post graduate work at Menninger Foundation. I am a Certified Master Practitioner and Trainer of NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis, both which facilitate change as defined by the client with issues such as PTSD, stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, sexual dysfunction, unwanted addictive behaviors as well as behaviors that just aren't working for you. I work with individuals and couples.

My primary goal is to facilitate the positive development of children and adolescents. I work with children, adolescents, families and professionals to identify areas of difficulty and goals to improve functioning. Goals may be related to improving school performance, social skills, emotional or mood related difficulities, anxiety, or developmental disabilities. Once goals are identified, important skills are taught that will help children/adolescents adjust to home and school. This can be accomplished through a variety of services that include evaluations, psychotherapy,and family consultation or coaching.

I'm currently taking new clients who live in Missouri, Kansas, or Iowa. I take pride in providing confidential counseling sessions which are tailored to the individual needs of each client online from the comfort of your own home or office.

Do you feel stuck? Unable to make decisions due to feeling overwhelmed? I get it. I too have felt this way. I know that sinking feeling of learning you have a chronic illness and will daily feel the pain, fatigue, and fear of "what's next?" Even worse, feeling that you have lost who you are and who you thought you always would be. It's enough to make even the strongest person feel like giving up. BUT...as someone who has personally fought this battle, I promise you that life can get better, in fact it can be great!

It is my belief that seeking help is the first indication that you are motivated and ready to make changes in your life. My purpose here is to partner with you, while empowering you, as you move through the process of change. I will help you learn to think about and address your problems in a healthier manner. Sometimes it takes the help of a mental health professional to help you take an objective look at your circumstances and empower you so that you can take the first step necessary to make those changes.

My initial desire to do therapy started with wanting to help minority men take some of the worlds weight off of their shoulders. I am also strongly motivated to help couples find their relationship goals. As of now I can help those who reside in Kansas or Missouri.
