About me

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I earned my Bachelor's Degree from the University of South Florida, and my Master's Degree in Counseling from Florida Gulf Coast University and have been working in the field since 2001. I have worked inpatient and outpatient hospital settings, non-profit agencies, and in private practice.

My experience is extensive, having done much work with couples working to strengthen and preserve their relationship, supported clients who are healing from divorce or other traumatic life events, and worked with individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety or chronic stress. I have worked with clients who have a significant mental health diagnosis, as well as individuals who are in crisis.

You will find me to be compassionate and thoughtful as we work together to sort through your issues and experiences in order to gain a healthy perspective and healing. Please message me if you're interested in talking before setting up a session.

Bonnie is very good at helping me decipher my thoughts and patterns. She checks in on me regularly and is able to pick up where we left off to keep me headed in the direction I want to go. I strongly recommend Bonnie to anyone trying to sort out their own thoughts and feelings.

I worked with Bonnie three years ago during a difficult season, and now I’m back in a new one, and once again, she’s helping me find clarity, strength, and peace. She’s kind, wise, and always makes me feel safe and seen. I’m so grateful for her guidance and steady presence through life’s hardest moments. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I have never done therapy before, but Bonnie had been so kind, supportive, and listens to every concern. She then gives tools and advice on how to manage my concerns and is very relatable. She is definitely comforting and easy to open up to, and I usually struggle with that!
