I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist trained by Patrick Carnes, Ph.D. - the first to bring the term "Sex Addiction" to the mainstream. I help people troubled with sexual addiction / compulsion to understand and escape the cycle of unwanted sexual behavior.

I am focused on bringing a holistic view to the therapeutic setting. My goal is to create a space for individuals to express themselves in a safe and comfortable environment. I have an extensive background in working with children, adolescents, and adults in a wide variety of settings. My focus is working with individuals ages 16 and up, along with couples. Specifically, I provide counseling in the areas of trauma, grief/loss, addiction/substance use, anxiety, depression, coping skills, and relationships.

"All behavior is communication" and my goal is to help parents, kids, and teens understand the emotions behind their actions. ​Emotions may be expressed through lack of motivation, aggressive actions, refusal to participate in activities, use of drugs or alcohol, self-harm or having negative beliefs about themselves. I can work with you and your family to learn healthy communication and coping skills to deal with today's world.

I have had the honor of conducting professional counseling services since 2007 as an Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri. I consider myself to be a mental health clinician. Client empowerment, rapport building, and a unique ability to teach clients to unlearn unhealthy coping skills and to relearn healthy coping skills are my strengths. Strong focus is given to emotional regulation and assessing emotional dis-regulation symptoms in clients. The use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the treatment orientation I use the most with my clients.

If you are tired of feeling stuck, frustrated, overwhelmed, anxious or just unsure of where your emotions are, therapy can help! Ruminating, negative and intrusive thoughts can control our lives and make us feel helpless. Therapy can help with recognizing these thoughts and emotions and what they mean to you. "Knowing yourself" is the goal in treatment, so you can understand the feelings and reactions to improve your self-esteem, coping skills, and feelings of self-worth. I enjoy working with people of all ages, including children 8 and up to do all of this. Everyone can benefit from a therapeutic relationship. Let's do this.

My goal is to meet you where you are. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief , trauma, or relationship issues we can work together to raise and strengthen your insight, self awareness, and resiliency. Life is never a straight line nor are we always given direction. Many of us are working through a variety of life transitions and I can help you by being an advocate and having a relationship built on honesty, knowledge, and trust. Working together and collaborating to find your strengths and opportunities for growth is what I do best. Please call and let me know how I can help.

We are a diverse group of licensed professionals. We are compassionate, knowledgable and honored to work with individuals, couples, and families. We support our clients to discover their own personal grace and agility, their ability to express themselves with integrity and conviction and most importantly to restore their faith in themselves and in their relationships.

Pretty sure life isn’t supposed to feel quite so hard, painful, or overwhelming? Maybe you want to manage your emotions or stress better, or maybe something awful happened that has you wondering if you'll ever feel "normal" or well again. It takes real courage to reach out for support. Join me in a safe and affirming space to gain insight on the origins of your struggles and find lasting healing. I offer in-person sessions in my O'Fallon office, or as walk-and-talk therapy next door at Fort Zumwalt Park. I also offer online sessions.

Are you seeking someone who understands suffering? Whether recent loss, painful trauma or a moment of deep personal crisis, you'd like someone who has been there and understands what it takes to stand up again. Fundamentally, counseling is a relationship. And for many, the first relationship you have ever had where someone listens without judgment, meets you with genuine appreciation, and gives with no strings attached. Together we will get a clear picture of what to do next, then we can introduce powerful rapid change methods backed by research and put you on a path to growth, well-being and more fulfilling work and relationships.

I have experience and enjoy working with children, teens and adults on a variety of issues. I am a part of Side by Side Wellness LLC, which strives to provide individuals at any stage of life the opportunity to achieve their goals through holistic support and services.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment that allows you to explore your pain or other symptoms which bring you to therapy. I feel privileged to be able to assist you in your journey through life's transitions, including identity/self concept, managing stress and anxiety, relational or occupational, recovering from grief and loss, or related to sexual/gender orientation. My style is predominantly Client Centered, but is also informed by Psychodynamic theory, Jungian and Depth psychology, Gestalt therapy, and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy.

The ideal client who desire to be equipped and enabled to handle their issues independently. The client has the ability to solve their life's puzzle. My role is to assist the client to anchor the KEY piece(s) and help to develop their own coping skills . I have been helping people all of my life as a teacher, school counselor, and licensed professional counselor and hypnotherapist . Working with individuals, couples and families are areas in which I excel. Many practicing counselors do not blend traditional counseling practices with hypnotherapy. Using both approaches allows the client's mind to be "totally engaged."
