About

I created The Human Coach in 2024 to help people live as authentically as possible.

I use evidenced-based frameworks and a holistic perspective to help clients access services, improve their emotional health, and live authentic lives.

With an extensive background in therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Reality Therapy, Jungian Theory, and Person-Centered Therapy, I have specialized in working with trauma-related mental health disorders, anxiety disorders, and substance use disorders. I believe that everyone can benefit from these teachings to identify and pursue the qualities of life most in alignment with their beliefs, goals, personalities, and potential.

About Me

During college, I specialized and participated in behavioral neuroscience research, examining the effects of amphetamine in the brain’s reward pathway as well as the effects of enrichment during childhood and adulthood in regard to addiction. I went on to receive my Master’s degree, beginning my work in community mental health and treating personality disorders, mood disorders, substance use disorders, and providing crisis intervention. I then practiced in the corrections setting, working with adult and juvenile sex offenders. As my career continued, I gained extensive experience practicing in outpatient and residential substance use treatment settings, leading me to specialize in treating substance use, dual diagnosis, and trauma related disorders.

I am also trained in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Ketamine Integration Therapy. I have a special interest in working with integrative & alternative forms of therapy, including psychedelic support, integration, and harm reduction. My experience in psychedelic facilitation includes being part of a clinically licensed team in the Kansas City area that helped with psychedelic education, preparation, facilitation, and safety for the participants in FDA-approved Clinical Trials with Psilocybin and 5-MeO-DMT. I also have extensive experience volunteering for compassionate support and harm reduction organizations at music festivals since 2017, providing services to educate others about harm reduction and to help those struggling with psychedelic experiences and integration. I received my certificate in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy from the Psychedelic Research and Training Institute in 2021 and offer this service as an adjunct to other traditional therapies. I am also part of the faculty at Midwest Psychedelic.

Why Coaching?

Choosing coaching with me means embracing a holistic and evidence-based approach to your personal growth and well-being. My experience with trauma, anxiety, and substance use disorders uniquely positions me to help clients align their lives with their deepest beliefs and goals.

My journey from behavioral neuroscience to innovative therapies like Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy has equipped me to offer both traditional and cutting-edge support. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, or seeking new ways to enhance your well-being, my goal is to provide a compassionate and integrative approach that empowers you to live an authentic and fulfilling life.
