I am a licensed professional and licensed marriage counselor in MO with 9 years of clinical experience. I have worked with clients facing a wide range of concerns including anger, depression, anxiety, parenting problems, career challenges, relationship issues, ADHD, and substance abuse. I have also worked with many people who have experienced physical, sexual, or emotional trauma. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe all people need a safe accepting space to express their concerns and be heard. My style is to combine a variety of techniques to meet the individual needs of each client. I recognize it is difficult to make the choice to ask for help and take steps to change. I look forward to working with you as you go through the process of life long change!
