In my practice I understand that clients bring painful experiences and emotions into therapy, and that those experiences create challenges that look different for each person. My goal is to act as a guide and support as clients become empowered through the therapeutic journey. Through my education and life experience, I use various skills that allow me to flexibly work with clients. One of my greatest tools that I bring to therapy is that I have experienced treatment and recovery, personally. I know that recovery is possible and would like to help you. I also recognize that you are the expert in your own life and want to understand

Does saying “I Do” feel like a life sentence? Relationships struggling to maintain connection, communication, trust, and unidirectional flow can quickly begin to feel like a prison sentence. Escalated arguments, financial strain, career conflicts, time management, intimacy, and sexual issues slam the cell door closed, isolating partners from their dreams, desires, and goals. Feeling stuck, stressed, and sad while caught in a never-ending cycle of negativity and blame causes a downward spiral of depression, frustration and anger.

Counseling as a whole is perhaps needed now more than ever. We've seen rising prices for things in Missouri and across the US, horrible things happening in the Ukraine, in Israel, and of course, there is the pandemic we went through that affected literally everyone in the world. Even without these things, life brings its challenges, but add the stressors we've all been through for over 4 years now, in addition to the more recent problems we're facing, and it only makes sense that many people just like you will benefit from additional support and professional help in processing through life's difficulties.

Challenges and unexpected events may leave us overwhelmed, sad, or anxious. Times of transition and change also bring opportunities for growth and insight.

I am grateful for being able to share my passion for helping others and accompanying you on your journey of healing and self-discovery.
