I am a clinical social worker licensed in Missouri, with over 40 years of experience working in the field of addiction medicine. I am also credentialed as a co-occurring disorder specialist through the Missouri Credentialing Board. I work with clients who are experiencing mental health and substance use challenges, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and concern about substances.
I use a strengths-based client centered approach, as I believe therapy is a collaborative relationship and the goal is to help you achieve health and wellness. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, harm reduction, and strengths-based therapies. We will work together to determine the outcomes you hope to achieve and the best way to get there.
Asking for help is one of the most difficult things to do and if you are reading this – I hope you reach out to me or someone to find the help you need.
I look forward to the opportunity to work together!
