About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri with over 20 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients for a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I have also helped many clients with chronic illnesses including HIV/AIDS.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines client centered, solution focused and strengths based counseling to meet your needs.

It takes courage to seek professional help and even more courage to implement change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Dr. Nelson is incredibly uplifting and intuitive and is in the process of helping me find the tools to change my life for the better. I cannot thank her enough or recommend her enough! This is my first time in counseling, and the work is hard, but she has been instrumental in helping me not to get defeated and give up.
