Licensed Professional Counselor Specializing in Anxiety and ADHD Therapy for Women in Kansas City and Lee's Summit.
​​
Hello! I'm sara, a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly 20 years of experience helping people in the Kansas City area overcome anxiety and attention issues and achieve better mental health. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in private practice, with large community mental health organizations, and as a coach, supporting individuals with a variety of mental health challenges, life stressors, and personal goals.
​
I specialize in anxiety and ADHD counseling for women, and what I love most is helping clients develop personalized systems that make a meaningful impact on their mental well-being. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, attention and focus, or just need support in managing stress, I am here to guide you through it.
​
As a creative and data-driven counselor, I take a unique approach to therapy by combining practical strategies with measurable progress. I use data to help my clients gain perspective, track improvements, and stay motivated on their journey toward mental wellness.
​
It is an honor to be part of your healing journey, and I look forward to supporting you in overcoming anxiety and building a healthier, balanced life.
Sara's approach to working with clients
I am client-led with an anti-racist and anti-oppression lens. I offer a person centered and integrative approach to counseling and sessions may include movement, artistic expression, nutritional education, and mindfulness coaching, depending on the needs an interests of each individual. I am not a stuffy office kind of person and I will likely want to meet with you out in nature, in the community, or even at events as you progress through your journey.
I believe strongly that, while there might be some (or even many) things you would like to improve or change, you are doing your best at this moment and are deserving of compassion. I will challenge you to be the best version of yourself, give you tools to do the work, and help you create a safe space to meet those challenges. I might well call you on your BS but I won't judge you for it. There will be homework and accountability and there will be progress.

Multi-Dimensional Wellness

Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor
Specializing in therapy and coaching for children and families
in Kansas City and Lee's Summit.
HI I'm Jon.
I work with bright, creative, and often sensitive kids and teens, especially those who experience the world a little differently. Many of the young people that I see are neurodivergent and are dealing with the anxiety, stress, or low mood that can come with feeling out of sync in a world that doesn't seem built for them.
​
​
I know how important it is to feel seen and understood, especially during childhood and adolescence. That's why I focus on building a trusting and genuine connection first. I use an eclectic approach to counseling, which just means that I tailor my work to each person - pulling from different methods and tools to find what really resonates.
Jon's approach to working with clients
Counseling with me isn't about "fixing" anyone. It's about helping kids and teens understand themselves more deeply, feel more confident in who they are, and find ways to cope with the hard stuff without losing the spark that makes them unique.
This work is personal for me. I care deeply about creating a space where young people feel safe being fully themselves - and where parents feel supported too.
