"Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen." -Brene Brown

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Science in Counseling after years of working with youth in foster care and individuals with developmental/intellectual disabilities. I practiced as a Professional School Counselor, before moving on to providing clinical services at the Autism Center. I now operate fully out of my own private practice to ensure that I can offer as flexible of services as needed to best support clients in their path to healing.

I offer services to all ages, from children through adults. I especially enjoy working with those who are neurodivergent and/or part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I offer trauma-focused services with EMDR-based healing. I specialize in childhood, sexual, and religious trauma. I am currently undergoing an AASECT recognized program to become a certified Sex Therapist. I also offer services geared towards interpersonal skill development and anxiety/depression symptom management through a variety of treatment modalities. 

My first goal as a counselor is to make a connection with you so we can work together collaboratively. I believe therapy's greatest power is providing a space safe enough for you to embrace your full experience of being human. Because there is not one counseling approach that fits all, I offer a varied style, which means your counseling session could look different from someone else's or even different from the previous week. What stays consistent is my support of who you are and honoring the vulnerability and courage it took to engage in therapy in the first place. I'm delighted to accompany you on your journey of self-discovery.
