Hi, I’m Claire!
I’m a licensed therapist serving children, teens, young adults and families in Kansas City.
I’ve always believed that real growth happens when we feel safe, connected, and understood - and that’s exactly what I strive to create in my work.
Credentials & Background
LPC, MDiv, MA
Experienced with Theraplay principles, Play Therapy, CBT, ACT, mindfulness & attachment-based care
Make room for joy
Over the years, I’ve supported young people through anxiety, life transitions, conflict and stress. Whether I’m using play therapy with a child, helping a teen navigate changes, or guiding a young adult through self-discovery, my approach is rooted in empathy, empowerment and creativity.
Creating Joy Therapy grew from my belief that healing isn’t just about easing pain - it’s about making room for joy, confidence, and connection.
Why Creating Joy Therapy?
Healing isn’t just about reducing pain - it’s about making space for joy and connection. My goal is to help you, your child, or your family build a life that feels grounded, safe and fulfilling.
