Hello, welcome to my page. I have over 30 years experience in the field of social work. I am a licensed clinical social worker and licensed for independent practice in the State of Missouri and State of Kansas. In addition, I am EMDR trained, which is a more gentle type of trauma treatment.
I am committed to my clients by providing therapy/counseling with in-depth practical approaches for enhancing their lives and changing unhelpful patterns. My clients work with me to not only understand themselves but also to devise practical solutions to their problems. I help my clients discern what is important to them and foster and nurture their efforts toward what matters.
On your first visit, I will complete an biopsychosocial assessment to get to know you as a person and identify your goals. This visit is not a deep dive into any issues. It is important for you to feel that I am the right person to help you. My goal for you is to feel comfortable. We need to have a good professional relationship in order for you to make progress.
