About

I am a Trauma Specialist licensed in the state of Missouri with over 3 years of direct counseling experience in a private practice setting and more than 10 years of counseling in a case management, supervisory, and humanitarian role with populations including Active Duty Military, Veterans, Families in the Foster Care System, First Responders, Athletes; and Individuals seeking Symptomatic Relief, Purpose and Fulfillment.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Humanities from Michigan State University and a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology with a Focus on Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University. I use primarily EMDR with a blend of solution focused, narrative therapy, and client centered treatment to help you reach your healthiest most authentic and inspiration driven self.

I believe that the client knows themselves best, and my job is to help you find that inner voice of strength and guidance. I admire your courage and curiosity in seeking counseling as a way to care for yourself and I look forward to working with you when you're ready to get started!
