About

I am a clinical social worker licensed in the state of Missouri . I have over 20 years of experience counseling individuals, couples, and families s with a wide range of concerns. Having specialize in home in and community-based counseling, I have also worked with clients in a wide range of environments. My experience with diverse participants has allowed me to acquire the therapeutic skills needed to work effectively with youth, teenagers and young adults from all walks of life to address a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, grief and loss, emotional abuse, as well as important life transitions.
My counseling style is empathetic supportive, warm, encouraging, and interactive. I believe in meeting people where they are, with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive behavioral, humanistic, solution focused, rationale emotive, and psychodynamic therapy. Treatment planning will be designed to meet the unique needs of the individual or family working to make change. I provide the support needed to share, become aware and address life challenges in a way that result in a more fulfilling life.
