About

Greetings and Welcome!

A bit about me: I am a licensed professional counselor in Missouri, as well as a certified school psychologist. I’ve worked with people of all ages and walks of life over the course of a career that spans almost 25 years. I’ve worked with clients battling anxiety, depression, poor confidence/ self-esteem, AD/HD, parenting difficulties (including children with special needs,) and relationship stressors. Over the years, I’ve served as a mentor and supervisor for many mental health professionals in training. I’m also an adjunct professor.

Personally, I am married with two children. I enjoy playing music, hiking, hanging out with my family, and running in my free time.

As your counselor, I view myself as a partner, a guide, and a motivator. Improving one’s life situation takes work and can be a complex process. It’s hard to do it alone – and that’s where I come in. I utilize a client-centered approach that integrates elements of cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and biblio therapies to help you reach short term goals and begin to take on larger challenges.

The first step is always the hardest – but also the most important!
I look forward to our time together :)
