My objective as a counselor is pretty straightforward: I’m here to help you take better care of you. I have been a licensed professional counselor in Missouri since 2012. During that time I have committed to providing unconditional acceptance for all clients, to be attentive, direct, compassionate and open-minded. We’re all in this together. I use combined concepts of cognitive behavioral, person-centered, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral and existential therapies to keep the proper pace with each client as we navigate the complicated pathways that make everyone’s journey unique. I work with people from every walk of life, including those with addictions, mental illness, behavioral or relationship problems or just general life confusion. All sexual orientations, races and religions (or no religion) are respected in my practice. I work best with clients from ages 6 to 99. If you need someone to help find solutions so you can take better care of you, I would be happy to be of service. Open to working with children/adolescents 6 years and older.
