About

I am an individual and family counselor licensed in Missouri with over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people ask whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most people.

One major benefit is flexibility – you can connect in the way that suits you best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care.

Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and if you find you need a different fit you can switch therapists. Online therapy offers many of the same therapeutic approaches used in face-to-face work while providing options that accommodate different lifestyles and needs.
