Therapy and Counseling in Lee’s Summit
Individual therapy for adults struggling with anxiety, relationships, and people-pleasing.
Counseling in Missouri and Kansas
Welcome, I'm Marci, and I’m so glad you’re here. In my 25 years of holding space for clients in Lee’s Summit and beyond, I’ve learned that true healing isn’t found in a "quick fix" - it is the meaningful journey of returning home to yourself.
Whether you are looking for a place to process heavy emotions and relationship patterns, or you’re ready to heal from the past, I’m here to be your guide. I invite you to explore my site and discover the different ways we can work together to help you feel at home again - from individual therapy to my guided journals.
