About My Clients
Are you tired of trying to survive each day? Maybe you lie awake at night unable to escape what happened in the past or what COULD happen in the future. You lack the "want to" to engage with others. You feel like you can't trust anyone-maybe not even yourself! You often feel irritable, triggered, or angry, and staying present and completing tasks feels impossible. It doesn't have to be this way! I'm glad you are here- I can help you move past surviving and finally start thriving!
My Background and Approach
I integrate concepts from Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), Polyvagal Theory (PVT), somatic psychology, parts work/ego states/IFS, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help you become aware of your internal cues and access an internal sense of safety when it truly is safe to do so, allowing you to connect with yourself, others, nature, God, and the world around you. I treat a lot of complex trauma, which is all about healing relationship and attachment wounds, and I have found that doing this work in person is especially effective. Doing this work in partnership with my certified therapy dog, Dewey, is even better! At the end of 2025 I set out to create an immersive healing experience by designing and building a therapeutic healing haven from the ground up with every detail chosen intentionally to promote a sense of calm, safety and comfort for healing the nervous system. I offer telehealth too! You must be located in the state of MO at the time of services
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I bring a deep passion for my work as an individual and couples counselor to All Things New Counseling, where I have served over 2,500 clients since opening my doors in Nixa, Missouri in 2009. I love to serve my community in this way—when individuals and relationships thrive, so do their communities!
