Hi, I’m Katherine, and I’m glad you found me. I love working with individuals and couples who seek to carve out a path of hope and newly imagined potential for themselves. Whether that’s moving through a transition, trauma, loss, or just wanting to feel “unstuck”, I accompany my clients through the muddy waters of emotions and life circumstances toward greater clarity and new possibilities, finding a more full version of self. Attuning to your own well of intuition and finding a sense of direction within your own dreams is what we can work toward together.

Asking for help is hard and you are a strong person for taking the first steps. As a clinician, I recognize the importance of collaboration and the impact it can have on our well-being. Life indeed presents its share of difficulties, and having a safe space to explore those challenges is crucial. Unbiased and non-judgmental support is essential, especially when we tend to be overly critical of ourselves. It’s common to feel like some problems are beyond our control, but together, we can navigate them. Whether the issues are big or small, I’m here to join forces with you, working toward your goals and uncovering new possibilities.

Im motivated to work with clients that want to improve an aspect of their life, to change a behavior, to adjust their way of thinking or to just talk about stressful or confusing things in their life. V

Unconditional personal acceptance, honesty, and if it's a good fit: trust. This is the where therapy has power. And in a society increasingly isolated and detached, we are tragically under-resourced in our suffering. If you've found yourself ready to try and paint a different picture, I can help. We can be open minded with what that looks like, sometimes it resembles examining your thoughts, sometimes connecting with and learning from your emotions. Sometimes we need a safe, human connection to hear and to heal the burdens of our past and present. My first task is to learn what it is you need; it's ok if that's yours too.

You’re feeling broken. I can help you pick up the pieces. You want more out of life. Maybe you want a more healthy, vibrant marriage. Maybe you want to let go of anger and resentments from past traumas that are stealing your peace and joy today. Maybe you want to say “no” more-without feeling guilty. You are not your problems. You are full of possibilities that are just waiting to be discovered.

Life can feel overwhelming, painful experiences, trauma, anxiety, can alter life. It can lead us to shy away from vulnerability. We may boast about our independence & feel obligated to be everyone's 'person'. We often set high expectations. We decide we have to be the strong one, reliable one, the one to 'fix it.' Aiming for a perfection that doesn't exist. All while silently struggling, feeling alone and exhausted. Fighting for control, the ability to predict all while feeling nothing is predictable.

I see each person as a lotus, unfolding gracefully despite life's challenges—much like how it grows beautifully in the mud. We all deal with stress, fears, worries, and tough times that can make life feel overwhelming or lonely. My goal is to create a safe space where you can learn to navigate these ups and downs, and realize that you're not alone on this journey. Growing up in a Vietnamese household within American society has given me unique insights, inspiring me to become a mental health counselor. I understand the struggle of finding someone relatable to talk to, so my main focus is on building trust between us.

I work exclusively on Zoom with adults and couples anywhere in Missouri or Kansas, most especially with clients working on grief and loss, including loss from death, divorce, miscarriage, stillbirth, or other more ambiguous losses. My practice is welcoming to survivors of loved ones who have completed suicide. I work with clients with depression, or those with anxiety and panic from driving fears. I like working with clients with behavioral addictions, especially shoplifting, as well as clients wanting to address their substance addictions, especially with alcohol or marijuana.

Have you ever felt stuck or alone? You've maybe felt lost about what direction your life is heading in. Or maybe you've experienced guilt for not being able to connect with your baby or child. You wish you could get a better grasp of the direction your life is heading in and feel like you can show up as a better mother, friend, daughter, worker, etc. I'm here to tell you that you can and it will be okay!

*** ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS *** Everyone has a story, and you are the expert of your own. It is my goal to provide a safe and warm environment in which you experience unconditional acceptance, empathy and understanding. Each client is treated uniquely with an individualized treatment plan.

Hi, I'm Brandon. I believe that the client comes first in the therapy process and is most successful when they are met with unwavering support.

I believe you deserve nothing less than to love yourself deeply, believe in your value, set unapologetic boundaries, and live a joyful, fully expressed life. Helping you get there involves three key pieces: 1) understanding the nature of what you’re facing (anxiety, ADHD, trauma), 2) helping you through what you’re facing, and maybe the most important is 3) fully discovering and feeling good about WHO you are and HOW you are – especially when society says it’s too little, too much, too weird, or not good enough.

Check out our website for more details! I became a therapist because of a void that has existed for decades. A void that allowed black and brown people to be left to find sometimes inadequate ways of dealing with real mental health issues. As you search you will find very few people that look like me that are in profession of mental health. This is unfortunate. Although my caseload is hugely diverse, what comforts my clients is I represent what in my field is lacking...a representative from a disenfranchised group of people helping to build up the individual, repairing relationships and making families whole.

I am your GPS, but you’re the driver! My clients are male/female/trans who have constructed patterns of thought and behavior which don’t seem to be helping with their anxiety, depression, and trauma. Folk’s coping mechanisms don’t seem to be working. Together we examine and construct new way of dealing with troublesome issues. Clients appreciate that i am kind, but honest, patient, but goal oriented, and above all: a very caring individual. Life can get better. Really. (I am very camera-shy, so please cut me some slack with my video performance.

I believe that we are all in the process of becoming. But at times, we all get stuck or lost along the way. In those stuck points, it can feel disheartening and the idea of getting out becomes daunting. I will journey with you through these points and help you rediscover your trajectory. Sometimes rediscovering that becoming looks like reigniting what used to give us life and sometimes it looks like finding new ways of being that help us to feel rooted and whole.

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." C.G. Jung-- You might suffer from anxiety, depression, grief, and/or relationship issues, but the key is that you are willing to explore why. My philosophy is holistic in that I feel like it is important to examine each part of life because I truly believe everything is connected when it concerns mental, emotional, and physical suffering and pain. I have recently completed a yoga teacher certification so I am able to incorporate somatic principles and movement into my work with clients.

Whatever it is that has brought you here is important to me—life changes and transitions, grief and loss, trauma and growth, anxiety and depression, or ADHD symptoms—your life is important to me. I can work with you to create a personalized wellness plan. You deserve to see your inner greatness. Your growth is inspiring to me. You deserve to cultivate your inner calm.
