I have been working with adults, children and families in many different capacities for over 24 years in the St. Louis area.  She does individual, family and group counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Missouri State and my Master of Art in Professional Counseling from Lindenwood University.

To encourage change, resiliency and self-efficacy, I utilize Biblical principals, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Love and Logic parenting model, Mindfulness and Self-Compassion. I am also a Certified Nutritional and Integrative Provider for mental health, specifically for ADHD, Depression and Anxiety and a Certified Mind Body Eating Coach through the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. I have a special interest in assisting adults with eating and weight challenges and body image concerns. Now is the time to end self-criticism, build body confidence, and have shame free living and eating! God has a purpose for your life, and He created us for more than this struggle. Let’s invite him into this transformation. There is power in knowing how our Grand Designer made our body and using His design to help us heal.

In the clinical setting, I focus on building coping, self-care and communication skills, as well as teach healthy boundaries.  I use a straight-forward, compassionate approach and want my clients to feel empowered, resilient and capable.
