I am extremely passionate about helping those in need and feel it is an honor to be a part of someone's journey through therapy. I truly enjoy supporting others in finding and becoming the very best version of themselves. I think it is important that my clients feel heard and understood and I strive to create a therapeutic environment where my clients can feel safe to be their authentic selves. I have spent the majority of my career working with children, youth, adults, and families in various capacities. I have a strong background in trauma, family dynamics, child development, foster care, adoption, and mental health of all ages.
I have been practicing social work and therapy for almost two decades. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri and Illinois and a Certified Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) Practitioner. I am able to provide PCIT, individual therapy for teens and adults, and family therapy.
I would love to have an opportunity to chat with you to see if I might be the right fit for your therapy and/or PCIT journey. I primarily offer virtual therapy sessions but could do in-person sessions on a case-by-case basis. Please contact me via phone call or email me to schedule a free consultation.

I prefer to work directly with my clients to create a therapy treatment plan that is customized to their needs and goals. During therapy sessions (with the exception of PCIT), I encourage my clients to take the lead in their therapy journey and use their session time as they see best fits them in that moment.
