I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in the states of Missouri and Illinois. I have been in private practice since 2002. It is a big step to request counseling and I try to make the process easier by respectfully helping to identify the event or the main issue that caused you to seek help. Many of my clients have anxiety, depression, or just general life and family issues. Many people say they just want to be happy. Each person is unique and through therapy we set goals where you can see change and improvement to your daily life. I call myself a general practitioner because I work with all members of the family unit. I see many couples in my practice and enjoy helping improve relationships. I find that anxiety and depression can be helped with cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior therapy. Learning some of those strategies and being able to implement them when needed helps to lower anxiety and give a sense of peace. I enjoy listening and my goal as a therapist is to help my clients improve their lives according to their own vision. I look forward to working with you!

Gail just gets it. She affirms my needs and boundaries, and provides insightful guidance when I bring my struggles to her. I am very happy to be working with her.

Gail has been very helpful, she has provided me with applicable strategies to apply in my life that have helped me navigate toxic relationships. She has always responded in a timely manner and is continuously checking in with me. We have used video calls, voice notes and text messages as part of our therapy sessions. I have always felt heard, respected and validated.

She’s really calm and approachable. It felt easy to talk to her. I do once per week video sessions with her and message a bit also. Within the first week of our first video session I felt a lot calmer and less stressed and started to be more productive towards goals I’ve been having difficulty with.
