Great to meet you!

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in the state of Ohio and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri. I am a husky owner, a life-long learner, and the sole employee of Sunflower Therapy Services. I enjoy working with clients who are looking to make changes to their lives and set healthy internal and external boundaries.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I actively listen throughout sessions. I ask thoughtful questions. I use music and poetry, TV shows and movies, art and board games to help clients work through big feelings. My goal as a therapist is not to tell you how to live your life, but to assist and aid you as you live your life. We will be a team, but you will be the captain.

What you can expect from our first session

Finding a therapist can be a challenging process and I can empathize with wanting help soon because life doesn't wait while you wait for a call back. After all, sunflowers thrive in sunshine surrounded by support from the gardeners, water, and their sunflower tribe around them.
