Substance Use Therapists in Olivette, MO

I am dedicated to building on the strengths of my clients to provide a secure place to help guide them into the journey of recovery and healing. I hold both state license and national board certifications. When working with clients, I encourage change and help navigate your journey to a better life. To experience a meaningful and purposeful life you must identify the negative things in your life that keep you “stuck”. When you eliminate problems, behaviors, and unwanted baggage you then can take control over your life. I specialize in working with clients dealing with trauma, addictions, and life crises.

I believe in using a nonjudgmental and supportive approach to therapy - which will allow even the most anxious person to feel comfortable processing through their concerns. I will help guide you to answering your most powerful internal questions.

"When we are no longer able to change a situation- we are challenged to change ourselves"- Viktor E. Frankl. Life's challenges are opportunities for personal growth and transformation. Many of us come to counseling as a last resort after all other attempts at making changes or feeling some relief have not worked. Whether you are looking to manage a specific condition such as anxiety/depression or relationship issues; are feeling stuck or stressed; or are looking for a deeper connection and meaning in life, I am here to assist you.
