About

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 5 years of experience in providing direct mental health and behavioral counseling. I have worked with children, adults, and families in a variety of settings and for a myriad of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting, anger management, community violence, phase-of-life problems, relationship issues, and family issues. I am passionate about helping people feel connected and whole and in helping to build skills aimed at conquering the challenges of life. I approach the therapeutic relationship with sensitivity towards you and your experience, a focus on what you desire from our time together, and respect for multi/cross-cultural factors and influence.

I have experience providing therapy in a variety of settings including individual (office and home settings), group therapy, and family therapy. I also have experience providing individual therapy in the virtual setting. My experience is varied and is comprised of work in social service settings, residential care settings, and includes 13 years of quality improvement work in behavioral health. Therefore my therapeutic approach, though based on client-centered therapy and trauma-focused therapy, is also influenced by Cognitive behavioral therapy and systems theory.

The decision to engage in therapy is an important one and choosing a therapist that can meet your needs is a critical one. If you are looking for a therapist that is laid back, yet goal-oriented, and supportive, yet challenging; I am the therapist for you. Let’s Get Started!
