Hi! I’m a licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in state of Missouri and Licensed clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in state of Illinois.

I have worked in psychiatric hospital, Court house/jail, and outpatient treatment with all ages 13-90’s. My clients describe me as a compassionate, good communication skills, encouraging and cultural competence.
During the first session of therapy, we work on an intake assessment. Basically, We get to know each other, set expectations and build trust.
My clients describe me as a compassionate, good conversation holder, good listener and encouraging.
I love working with clients who are eager to improve, but don’t have the tools and skills needed to make this purpose a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their career and future.
