I have a Bachelor’s degree in Education and a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Missouri, St. Louis. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have been in private practice for 17 years and am the co-founder of Creve Coeur Counseling Associates CCCA, Creve Coeur Community Counseling CCCC, and Creve Coeur Counseling Institute. In addition to my counseling practice, I am also an adjunct professor in the Department of Professional and School Counseling at Lindenwood University.

I provide talk centered therapy in an informal and friendly environment. My office is comfortable, private and homey. I take your concerns very seriously and am willing to follow you and be with you at times that are challenging and difficult. At the same time, I will celebrate and laugh with you at times of triumph. Through all these interactions and exchanges, we will work together to help you reach your goals.

I believe that clients have within themselves an inner strength and spirit that when tapped into, allows them to work through their obstacles and negative beliefs, face their issues head on, and make choices that lead to positive change and growth.
 

Goals

- To provide a safe and accepting environment in which clients feel free to be themselves, express their concerns and feelings and work toward resolution of their issues.

- To provide a counseling professional with whom clients will feel a sense of connection, validation and support in their struggles.

- To cultivate a client/counselor partnership for exploration and growth.

- To assure clients that even when therapy sessions have ended, the therapeutic relationship remains and clients are always welcome to check in for a "booster shot" or refresher talk as needed.
