I am a licensed clinical social worker and play therapist licensed in Missouri with over 8 years of experience working as a therapist and social worker. I have worked with a variety of clients with a wide range of concerns regarding depression, anxiety, parenting struggles, young adult difficulties, ADHD, and self-harm. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma and divorce.
My counseling style is warm and inviting. I believe in meeting clients where they are at and building off of their strengths. My approach is a combination of person-center therapy and solution focused. I do have a background in play therapy and if able utilize some of the aspects of play therapy in treatment as well as attachment based approach.
It takes courage to reach out and ask for help. If you are ready to make changes in your life I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
