About me

I am licensed in Missouri with 24 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, anger management, motivation, self esteem, confidence and a variety of mental health conditions. I work with both adults and adolescents and I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment or loss of confidentiality. The only time that confidentiality will be broken is if you are becoming a danger to yourself or others. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I feel very confident after my first session with her that she will be able to help me with things with the other therapist have not been able to.. I am looking forward to continuing working with her.

I love this lady. Literally. She is honest and kind and I believe she truly cares about her clients. I love that she has so many years of life experience and that she is mentally sharp as a tack! She remembers so much about me and my life’s stories. It’s remarkable.
