Serving Missouri & Kansas through in-person and virtual therapy.
Helping people understand what happens under stress — and change it.
Many couples come to therapy saying things like, “We understand each other, but it doesn’t help when emotions rise,” or “The same argument keeps coming back no matter what we try.” Others notice that one person shuts down while the other escalates, or that misunderstandings turn into distance faster than expected.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not broken. You’re likely caught in a pattern that hasn’t been clearly explained yet.
How Therapy Works Here
At Mint Family Therapy, I help couples and individuals understand why connection breaks down under stress and how to change those moments in real time.
Rather than focusing only on what’s wrong, therapy here looks at what happens emotionally and physically when conflict or overwhelm shows up. We work on slowing reactions before they escalate, understanding why insight disappears in heated moments, and rebuilding trust, safety, and emotional connection.
This approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in how real relationships actually function.
Individuals Are Welcome Too
I also work with individuals who want to feel less overwhelmed or reactive, understand emotional shutdown or intensity, and improve confidence and clarity in relationships.
Whether you come alone or with your partner, the focus is on recognizing patterns, making sense of your reactions, and creating meaningful change that lasts beyond the therapy room.
Who This Is For
Mint Family Therapy is a good fit for couples and individuals who feel stuck in recurring conflict, emotional reactivity, withdrawal, or disconnection. Many clients are thoughtful and self-aware, yet frustrated that understanding alone hasn’t been enough to change what happens when stress hits.
You don’t need a diagnosis or a perfect explanation to begin — just a willingness to look at patterns together.

Therapy is available in-person in the Kansas City area and virtually throughout Missouri and Kansas. Short-term, focused therapy plans may be available when appropriate.
