Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I have practiced as a counselor in Southeast Missouri for 18 years, working initially as an crisis counselor and then in an outpatient setting and I am also an Instructor of Psychology. I also previously worked as a therapist in a residential treatment center for children and teens. Over the years I have had the pleasure of working with children, teens, and adults. Most recently I have provided individual, couple and family counseling in the home. Together we have addressed concerns regarding relationship issues, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, loss, as well as parenting problems and family conflict. As a college instructor I also interact frequently with young adults and have served to counsel individuals through various transitions.
My counseling style is client-centered as I believe in the power of each individual to grow with the right help and support. I draw from a Christian faith foundation and aim to facilitate insight and hope, highlighting one’s strengths and positive steps toward change…change in thoughts and change in behaviors. The relationship developed with a person is a gift and can serve as a spring board for a solution-focused plan for change and improvement in emotional state and motivation. The various ways that we can achieve this together include cognitive-behavioral exercises, mindfulness and relaxation exercises, and narrative activities. Drawing from the Humanistic perspective, I believe that every person deserves a safe space where they can be heard without judgment and aim to work collaboratively with each client to develop treatment goals that will move them to reaching their full potential. I believe in your unique strengths and I will work alongside you to establish a plan and facilitate growth.
If you have read this, you have already taken an important, courageous step toward improving your mental and emotional state. I would be happy to help you take those next steps. I look forward to getting to know you on this journey.

Many people wonder whether virtual counseling truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or coping with life transitions, online therapy has been found to be similarly effective as traditional in-person care.
A major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that fits their needs, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability can make it easier to include therapy in a busy schedule or to maintain continuity during times of change.
Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many people, virtual counseling offers a practical and effective route to addressing everyday mental health concerns and building coping skills.
