After I was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, I encountered the challenge of finding a therapist who understood my mental health and how my physical health was impacted by and influenced my perception of self. In addition to seeking self-care, I became aware that my health experiences deeply affected my family. While doing my academic work at Regis University and St. Louis University School of Family and Community Medicine, I have been able to develop a whole-person approach to counseling care. If you or your family are seeking help that emphasizes communication training and person-affirmative care, let me know.

Does "getting up and out the door" seem to be a daily struggle? It's 9am and your mind is "so full" with worry and racing thoughts that you can't remember where you put your car keys and you are late for work, again. Your loved one asks you why you snap at them and you wish you had an answer. Maybe memories from a painful loss or traumatic experience still haunt you, even in your sleep. Since you can't sleep maybe you drink a bit more or scroll your phone all night. You stopped going out or socializing because you feel alone even around loved ones. You just want to feel "like yourself" again but forgot what that even means.

My philosophy of counseling is based on the belief that you possess the power to change, and that my role is to help you become aware of how to understand and utilize that power. My goal is to first listen and fully understand your need(s). After that, I will work side by side with you to develop the insights, tools and skills necessary for you to achieve the goals and changes you are seeking to make.

Anxiety, depression and self critical thoughts can take the joy from our lives and leave us feeling hopeless and alone. Our relationship with food may be unhealthy and we may feel suicidal or compelled to self harm. We want to move through the world with confidence while living a life of purpose but are overwhelmed and feel stuck. Goals go unmet, and our world becomes smaller as we resist challenges in our social life, school and career, out of fear and discomfort. We want to have more friends, do well in school and have a satisfying job or family life. We want to be happy and fulfilled.
