Inner Ritual Psychotherapy is a systemic and holistic talk therapy practice serving individuals and relationships in the heart of Kansas City, Missouri.
Now Accepting Clients!
I understand how it feels to be alone with your struggles, burnt out with life, uninspired, or trapped in a cycle that does not feel like your own.
As an attachment-based and client-centered therapist, I help people navigate their life with compassion, curiosity, and integrity.
My therapy space is always inclusive, client- centered, and LGBTQIA+ affirming.
In our work together, we’ll break free from old patterns, create a vision for your highest self, develop a deeper sense of self-worth, and lean into your growth edges at your own pace.
I am a systemically trained therapist and believe healing isn't purely internal—it's relational.
I believe that feeling truly safe to express yourself in the presence of another human is sometimes more powerful than any therapy intervention.

ABOUT THE THERAPIST
I am a Missouri girl at heart, a protector of the natural world, an advocate for beauty, and a seeker of wisdom. Choosing the path of a therapist is more than a vocation to me—it is a lifelong practice I am truly honored to walk. My role is to hold space for what is real: to explore what it means to be human, to sit with both pain and joy, to honor boundaries, and to receive your most vulnerable stories with an attuned, unconditional presence.
My clinical work combines Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry, nervous system regulation techniques, and body awareness. I am heavily informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Experiencing and often utilize these theories and practices. I am currently studying Carl Jung’s work and am fascinated by the power of the subconscious mind.
A major theme of mine is finding our patterns and relating to them with nature-based wisdom. In sessions, I frequently draw on metaphor and mythology to help you map your internal landscape. I have a deep connection to plant life, and study the various healing properties they hold. (Fun fact: I spent my early twenties studying plant & alternative medicine, and I am also a Certified Clinical Herbalist through the School of Evolutionary Herbalism.)
When I am outside of the office, you can usually find me tending to my home garden, on a dance floor with friends, practicing yoga or walking meditations, reading about philosophy, or enjoying a cup of coffee on the porch with my husband and two cats, Coto & Rumi.
