I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Missouri. For over ten years, I have been offering counseling and life coaching services to individuals, couples, and families. Some of my specializations include working with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, emotional trauma, work-related problems, arousal dysregulation, OCD issues, self-sabotaging thought processes, clinical mental health issues, career struggles, and many other significant life challenges. As a mental health specialist and performance consultant, I also enjoy the challenge of working with athletes, businessmen/women, musicians, teachers, artists, and members of the military forces. My professional orientation centers on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and solution-focused counseling. I believe that therapy is much like a beautiful choreographed dance step. Client and counselor work together to achieve success through a reciprocal relationship built upon respect, trust, and positivity. Entering into the counseling relationship takes extraordinary courage and strength of character. I pride my practice on being welcoming, positive, genuine, and client-centered. This responsibility to help my clients is a sacred trust not taken lightly. Counseling sessions are generally a combination of talk therapy, discussion, problem-solving exercises, and experiential activities designed specifically to help each client overcome their unique challenges. Some of the tools used in the counseling process include mindfulness training, cognitive reframing, goal setting, positive self-talk, communication skill building, introspection, motivational interviewing, and traditional narrative discourse. In addition to the more traditional approaches, I carry specializations and certifications in performance psychology, clinical hypnotherapy, wellness coaching, and career counseling. I have spent many years living in Europe, Asia, and North America. As such, I enjoy the opportunity to work with clients from very diverse backgrounds. I truly look forward to working beside you through the counseling relationship. I truly count it as an honor and a privilege to share your life experience.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping individuals with a wide range of issues including depression, bipolar disorder, adjustment disorder, marriage and family issues, developmental disabilities such as autism, gerontology and adolescents. Psychotherapy is an intensely personal experience, My approach is characterized, above all, by a deep respect for each person. My goal is to provide a place where one will be able to openly explore thoughts, feelings and behavior. A safe and therapeutic relationship allows individuals to heighten self-awareness. In therapy one will grow to understand and develop strategies which lead to lasting personal change and a deeper sense of self-acceptance. When psychotherapy works, it is because the client and therapist are working together to develop a relationship based on honesty and trust. When the client is treated with respect and listened to with great care, they benefit from critical thinking and skills I have honed from my years of practice and excellent training. I encourage you to get help and challenge yourself so that you can move forward from whatever is holding you back.

Keep it Simple! Over several decades of studying and practicing a variety of counseling styles, I came to the conclusion that there is not just one “correct” way to understand human behavior. Each path has a unique focus, but no single framework could claim to deal with the wide variety of problems and challenges that people faced. During those years, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and so forth. However, while the theories of psychotherapy were getting MORE complicated, the daily practice of working with the clients actually became simpler! I began to create a simple program that demonstrated that search for simplicity. With my current BetterHelp clients, we started to call this program “the Four SuperPowers”! Step One: listen to the client’s challenging stories Step Two: teach a simple exercise (superpower) to address those challenges Step Three: practice, and then repeat the first two steps! As a Licensed Professional Counselor and a licensed school teacher and counselor, I had always been a counselor at heart. Long before “Mindfulness” became popular, I served as the "Relaxation Therapist", having devised a pretty simple, yet universal, set of basic exercises to calm down any and all clients in the facilities in which I worked. My counseling sessions might combine the standard "Western" therapy models with more universal techniques. Also, a touch of humor and artistic creativity can be very helpful in the process. I look forward to traveling that Search for Simplicity with you!

I help all kinds of people understand themselves more fully and make fundamental changes to their way of being and relating to others. As an artist myself, I have an affinity for working with artists, creatives, and even other therapists. If you're looking for a therapist who can be with you all the way, then I might be the one for you. I'm trauma informed and incorporate the biology of human arousal, attachment theory, and neuroscience. I'm experienced with ADD/ADHD, ASD, BPD, PTSD, OCD, various world-views/religions, LGBTQIA+, and poly and open relationships, to name a few. I also love working with couples. My approach is experiential, where you’ll learn it AND do it, not just talk about it. You’ll learn about yourselves and the dynamics between you, and how to be secure functioning. My hope is that you show up to sessions as you are. Sure, there can be anxiety and challenging emotions, but it can be fun and feel good, too. I hope our work will leave you with greater insight into your journey of life-long development, and in the case of couples, in your ability to be secure functioning partners.

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Cameron due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for.

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300
  • With a clinician: $100

While many psychologists in Cameron may not take health insurance, some in the state of Missouri may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Missouri you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a counselor can be dependent on your process.

Is therapy worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice.

Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
