I have been working in the mental health field for over 35 years. I started working in mental health facilities in my early 20's while I was in college. I have worked with adults and adolescents in all kinds of modalities, yet I seemed to focus more toward young people and their families with substance abuse problems. Some of that stems from having to deal with my own addictions in my late teens and finally getting clean and sober at 20. Thus, I understand what it is like to be overwhelmed by addiction and the need to engage in a recovery process.

Currently, I am full and not able to accept any new clients till May 2021. My mission and passion is to educate, promote, and inspire physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health to individuals struggling with any of the following issues: eating disorders/disordered eating, physical activity, trauma/PTSD/anxiety, alcohol/drug abuse, and valued-living. Choosing a therapist to journey with during times of pain and struggle is a very important first step to self-healing. I meet clients where they are at, and work collaboratively to move in directions of values-based living, self-empowerment, personal knowledge, and healing.

Do you use substances to turn off your mind, only to feel ashamed when you sober up? Do you feel numb or disconnected from yourself and the world around you? Have you been struggling with low self-esteem? Do you sometimes question your relationship with food or exercise? Do you often have intrusive or disturbing thoughts? I’m here for you.

Imagine you have had the same problem or behavior recycling through your life for months, perhaps years. This could be anything from managing your emotions, accepting how traumatic events have shaped your life, addiction, conflict, how other people treat you/how you treat others, or simply taking ownership. Imagine your goal is to change the circumstance, flip the script on your life and find lasting change. I want to help people who want to learn why things are the way they are and to embrace new skills and tools to manage their lives. I use a combination of practical experience and research based skills to get you there.

We all have the need to feel supported and understood when in crisis, or when life feels overwhelming. I don't think we are meant to navigate life's difficult paths alone. I encourage you to call and see how therapy could be of benefit to you with your current life circumstances. I believe we each have the innate capacity to heal, and I value and encourage the integration of mind, body, and spirit. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain, childhood sexual abuse, trauma, grief, and PTSD.

I strongly believe that YOU are the expert on yourself. That being said, at times it is helpful to have a trained professional to support you in exploring places you may feel stuck in life, unhelpful patterns, and strategies for growing and moving forward.

I can't find meaning in my life." … "I don't know how to be real with myself or with those around me." ... "I want to make what I do matter to me and my loved ones." ... "It's impossible to feel connected with my significant other." If you can't seem to find peace with these issues…you are not alone.

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.

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.
