About

Reaching out and trying to find a therapist can be one of the hardest things to do when you are feeling in chaos or in crisis. Once you take that first step, it gets progressively. As a therapist, I focus on each person’s specific needs and adjust the style of therapy to best meet the needs of those I serve . I tend to draw from solution focused, strengths based and cognitive behavioral areas in order to best help work through things and provide hope for things to get better. This has worked well for my client’s and this style generally can create positive outcomes.

I will strive to help you feel comfortable and safe and free of judgement and censure. Together I feel we can work on goals you want to achieve that will help you feel more confident, motivated and self-aware. I have over 10 years of clinical experience. I have been privileged to have worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and community teams providing therapy in homes, as well as private practice. I have a large amount of experience with relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, mood disorders, parenting, grief/loss, cancer care and other chronic medical conditions as well as hospice and end of life issues. I obtained my Masters of Science in Social Work from Saint Louis University. I feel very strongly about quality therapy being provided for clients, so I obtained higher clinical training and acquired my license to supervise others in my field who also want to provide therapy and help people.

Being accepted and understood is what most people want and need. It would be a privilege to be present with you and provide that safe non-judgmental space so you are able to process and grow from the challenges life has thrown your way. In terms of availability, I check and respond to messages at least twice daily, seven days a week. I offer live chat, phone sessions and occasional video sessions weekly, mostly between the hours of 8am and 6pm. I also offer a few live chat sessions each week in the later evening hours or on the weekends depending on needs.
