I graduated from Lindenwood University with a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling in 2004. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Missouri since 2006 and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the State of Kansas since 2023. I am a National Board Certified Counselor, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II and Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional. I hold full membership with WPATH. I have worked in the mental health field for over 18 years.

My therapeutic lens is person centered and action oriented. I am a collaborative and goal focused clinician who understands you are the expertise of your life. I will assist and objectively guide you through interpersonal changes. I believe in love, acceptance, equality, kindness, respect and the power of finding your authentic self. My goal is to assist in working towards healing and emotional wellness and regaining a new perspective on life.

Clients can expect a deeper understanding of thoughts and feelings, new coping mechanisms to manage challenges, increased self-awareness, a sense of empowerment, actionable steps to work towards goals, and a renewed perspective on circumstances; essentially, the tools and knowledge to live with greater resilience and positive change.
