I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Missouri, and holds a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Missouri–St. Louis (UMSL). I am also a Board Certified Counselor (NCC) by the National Board for Certified Counselors. I enjoy working with clients who are anxious/overwhelmed, transitioning into new phases of life, or struggling with family-related issues, as well as pre/marital counseling and more.
Our feelings and actions are ultimately and primarily influenced by what we’ve been taught to believe — about ourselves, others, relationships, life. Because our beliefs in this way are often shaped by factors about which we may only be partially aware — things like culture, gender, trauma, past relationships, etc. — I cultivate mutual trust, acceptance, and warmth for clients to discover what’s influencing them and how to chart a course toward the life they want.
It's plain to see that world bombards us with ample reason to live in fear, doubt, and negativity. Yet, we all possess the ability to change, and to make good on the hope toward a rich, full, and confident life. We can't erase our pasts, but we can work together in the present to find new ways of thinking and being that produce the lives we want.
