Tend your flame.

Therapy in Leawood, Kansas

You already have what it takes to heal.

Therapy specializing in women's mental health and perimenopause, open to all adults navigating anxiety, burnout, and life's hardest transitions.

Life is unexpected and complicated. You don't have to figure it out alone.

You're showing up every day for your family, your work, and the people who need you. But somewhere along the way, you started wondering when someone was going to show up for you.

Consciously choosing to not hide your emotions or desires from others is key to healing and growth. Becoming comfortable with vulnerability is key to reigniting your drive and confidence.

That's what this space is for.

The Fire Within KC is a private therapy practice in Leawood, Kansas, dedicated to helping people reconnect with their own strength. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just quietly not okay, this is a place where that's allowed.

Therapy that actually
fits your life.

You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. And you don't have to wait until things fall apart to ask for help.

A therapeutic relationship takes time and trust. By working with you to develop cognitive-behavioral strategies that best suit your life, we work together to create a safe space to explore how to be vulnerable, face challenges, and guide you in your personal growth.

Sessions are one-on-one, focused, and built around what you're actually dealing with, not a script. We accept insurance, so getting support doesn't have to mean choosing between your mental health and your budget.

Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I'm Laura.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor based in the Kansas City area, and I specialize in women's mental health, particularly for those navigating transitions without a roadmap.

I started The Fire Within KC because I believe every person has a resilience inside them that's worth tending to. My job is to help you find it, kindle it, and watch it grow.
