As a licensed therapist in Missouri, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My clinical focus centers on addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and grief. I am deeply committed to helping clients work through challenging experiences like isolation, shame, guilt, and panic attacks. My therapeutic approach is compassionate and personalized, emphasizing self-love, healing from past wounds, and developing healthy coping strategies. I understand the unique challenges faced by individuals struggling with substance use, and I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences and build resilience.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). My clinical experience includes over 12 years of working with families, children, adolescents, and adults. Some of whom struggled with depression, stress, anxiety, relationships, PTSD, sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. My professional training consists of a Master of Arts (MA) in Professional Counseling, and a MA in Pastoral Counseling. In addition, a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Graduate Certification in Health Promotions, and I carried a certification in substance abuse counseling for seven years. Using a collaborative approach, helping clients reach their goals in personal growth and healthier relationships is an honor. Everyone has a story and sometimes that story is yet to be heard, still hiding behind hurt, shame, loneliness, anger and fear. Holding in such emotions can be harmful to one’s mental health. In serving 24 years in the United States Air Force engaging with people of all walks of life, I was convinced we all share similar struggles. Helping others learn how to navigate these feelings and offer a path toward hope, is the ultimate goal. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits and cognitive distortions. Meeting you where you are and helping you discover an inner strength to walk through life’s challenges, with the courage to face each day with confidence is the goal I seek. People are my passion, connecting them to Hope is my heart’s desire.
