I am an LPC in Missouri with 20 years experience providing counseling to a wide variety of clients. My counseling style is solution based while assisting you with identifying your strengths so that you may use them to their fullest to reach the goals you've set for yourself. I have extensive experience in DBT, and will use these techniques as well so that you can learn to better get through the hard times that life will inevitably send your way sometimes.
I will provide support, but also challenge you on things that just are not working for you and help you find better ways to approach difficulties.
