I am seeking clients who may be new to Telehealth but want to give it a try. I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step to seeing a counselor. I am here to take the stigma away and help you to feel comfortable with navigating through your life struggles through talk therapy. Telehealth provides the option for you to be in the safety and comfort of your own private space. No time wasted for traveling and scheduling is easy. I offer a holistic approach with a foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR and mindfulness practice. In 2011, I graduated from Missouri State University with a Masters Degree in Social Work. As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), I have worked in a variety of settings including both inpatient and outpatient services. I enjoy working with adults with a wide range of problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, chronic illness/pain, family dysfunctions, low self-esteem, poor social and coping skills, issues related to acculturation and assimilation, blending of cultures, and past trauma. Prior to pursuing my own private practice, I worked for an inpatient psychiatric and behavioral hospital helping many children, adolescents and families work through trauma, emotional distress, behavioral modification, and family dysfunctions. Telehealth takes the awkwardness of in-person therapy away and it has been very effective for the majority of my clients. Call or email me for a free consultation. I’m accepting all clients residing in Missouri. Let’s take the first step to healing together!

 I help people manage life’s transitions with less worry. Anxiety can often cloud our sense of who we are and make relationships and decisions difficult. With support and tools, together we can work to find coping strategies and sort through the tricky parts of being human. It is my goal to provide a warm, compassionate, sometimes humor-filled space to do this emotional work. I work from a supportive, client-centered, strength- based perspective. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional.

I will teach you skills that will allow you to feel confident in your abilities to manage your own emotions and work towards reaching personal goals, such as improving self-esteem and self-compassion.  I have an eclectic approach to therapy, pulling mainly from Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapies. As your therapist, I will honor your unique complexities and help you to look at many different aspects of your life that could be impacting your mental health, including environment, physical health, relationships, etc. I bring a warm, fun, and passionate approach to therapy and genuinely want to help you feel better and work towards reaching your personal and emotional goals.  When you are ready to prioritize yourself and your well-being, quiet the mental “noise”, and improve your overall quality of life, call me to schedule your first appointment.

Let's talk through some of the challenges which may have been lingering in mind for a long time. Often times we can find these challenges can limit you from taking the next step in your life, and I understand having some of those experiences as well. Perhaps some of those feelings include feeling anxious or down about a variety of things, or perhaps struggling with conflict within your family that make even the smallest decisions seem impossible.

Life is full of transitions that are tough to navigate when you're feeling anxious or uncertain about yourself. I specialize in working with young adults and professionals to face their unique life challenges with confidence. While you may lack control over many of your circumstances, issues, and daily stressors, together, we will equip you with the skills you need to manage them. No problem or concern is too insignificant — I’m ready to meet you where you are with acceptance and empathy. With a background in and a strong commitment to evidence-based treatment, I blend skills-based work, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical-behavioral therapy to create a customized treatment plan based on your goals to help you build the life and relationships you love and deserve. I will create a non-judgmental space for you to feel at ease and self-assured as you better understand yourself and what your most authentic and meaningful life would look like. Whether you want to reduce stress or better tolerate uncertainty, I will work with you, empower you, and define an individualized strategy to get you where you want to be.

Many people look for something beyond the question, “How does that make you feel?” I hope my sessions can not only act as a sounding board, but also provide a safe space to unload, explore and develop solutions to life’s problems. While my approach to therapy is empathic and compassionate, it is also direct and directive. My goal is to help clients identify the root of potential issues and work collaboratively to construct a solution. My intention is to provide support, problem-solving skills, practical tools and coping strategies to help overcome negative patterns.
