- LCSW, LSCSW, LICSW
As a licensed therapist in Missouri with nearly three decades of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and interpersonal dynamics with compassion and expertise.
I am deeply committed to creating a supportive, inclusive therapeutic environment that honors diverse experiences and identities. My approach centers on empowering individuals to develop stronger self-understanding, communication skills, and resilience. Whether you're struggling with social anxiety, workplace stress, relationship challenges, or personal growth, I offer a collaborative and non-judgmental space to explore your unique journey.
My therapeutic work spans a wide range of focus areas, including women's issues, multicultural concerns, life purpose exploration, and supporting individuals through significant personal transitions. I bring a trauma-informed, person-centered perspective that respects each client's individual strengths and experiences.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
