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 has evaluated and identified my needs and struggles right away. She is on point with her suggestions in offering resources and techniques to help me process my situations. I feel validated and supported. She also consistently offers Biblical perspective which is crucial to how I approach things as well. She helps me see the positive even in the darkest moments. I'm so grateful.

Bonnie has been an exceptional and supportive (Christian) counselor who has helped me navigate very sensitive trauma, CPTSD and relationships, while quickly identifying and addressing deeper root issues that I was not aware of. She is very professional.

Bonnie is very responsive, a concise yet warm communicator, and provides healing insight, encouragement, and validation when needed. She provides the best resources that truly spoke into my journey, which will serve as tools for a lifetime.

My therapy sessions with Bonnie have been transformative in my healing and freedom journey to say the very least! I am very grateful for Bonnie and what she has offered to help me be successful in healing from trauma, setting boundaries, and feeling seen.
