What started as a dream has now become a movement.
Wild Hope was founded from maternal mental health work, where we had the privilege of walking alongside hundreds of women through some of the most vulnerable and transformative moments of their lives. We witnessed not just healing - but powerful, inspiring growth and transformation.
That experience shaped us. It deepened our understanding of and compassion for the unique challenges individuals face and sparked something bigger: a pursuit to create a space where all people - in every stage of life - could feel truly seen, supported, and empowered.
That space is Wild Hope.
Since opening our doors in 2019, Wild Hope has grown from a heartfelt vision into a thriving, intentional space for healing and connection. What began as a small practice has since expanded into two vibrant locations and a team of passionate, highly trained therapists.
We believe therapy isn’t “one size fits all.” That’s why we offer a variety of therapists to help you find the just-right fit - because the right connection is where real growth begins.
Wherever you are in your journey, we’re here to help you move forward with clarity, care, and a whole lot of heart.
And we’d love to welcome you in.
Let your healing journey begin - schedule your first appointment today.

No matter what brings you to this place in your life, you matter! Whether you're experiencing a big life change, realizing things just feel "off", or anywhere in between, therapy is a powerful tool to have in your toolbox.

I hold great respect for the therapy space and the way clients show up to it. It’s a privilege to be invited into so many stories, ones that hold deep sorrow, loss, trauma, pain, anxiety, relational distress, and more.

Hey! How brave of you to research your therapy options. It can feel so scary to take that first step, and you did it! If you choose to pursue therapy, rest assured that you are not alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Whether you know exactly what brought you here or you're not really sure how you got where you are... or how to get out - you're in the right place. I have provided therapy services for over 11 years to individuals in the Kansas City area.
