In Person and Online Sessions 
Not Accepting New Patients
I am an experienced trauma therapist specializing in law enforcement and military clients. But I also see adults for depression, anxiety, and other types of distress.
I am the owner of Rise Up Counseling in Kearney, MO. My specialty is trauma counseling. I earned my bachelor's degree in psychology, my masters degree in Counseling with an emphasis on clinical mental health, and am now working on my doctorate degree. I have been married for 35 years and have 4 kids and 11 grand children. I love biking, kayaking, camping and hiking, as well as baking, reading, and traveling, but mostly spending time with family. I try to do something new every year to remind myself what it's like to be a beginner at something. My philosophy of counseling is to walk beside you until you are ready to walk alone. No judgement, just help.
