If you're carrying the weight of depression, anxiety, or a past you haven't been able to fully

process, you don't have to figure it out alone. With more than five years as a Licensed Clinical

Social Worker, I work with adults and seniors who are ready to make sense of what they've been

through and start moving toward the life they want to build.


I have a particular passion for working with people navigating mood disorders like bipolar disorder,

trauma and PTSD, and the kind of emotional challenges men often face but rarely talk about. I also

work with couples who want to strengthen their connection before things fall apart.

Figuring out who you are while anxiety, depression, or an ADHD brain that won't slow down is fighting you the whole way is exhausting. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (with almost 20 years of experience working with young people) who works primarily with older adolescents and young adults navigating exactly that, along with trauma, relationships, identity, and life transitions. I want this to be a space where you can slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and start feeling more grounded and confident.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in both inpatient psychiatric settings and outpatient therapy. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from Missouri State University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based, client-centered care.

My background includes working with individuals across a range of needs, from acute crisis stabilization to ongoing therapeutic support. I have extensive experience helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, self-harm, anger, aggression, and oppositional defiant behaviors. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which I frequently use to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical coping strategies.

I offer a relaxed non judgemental environment. I earned my Masters in Social Work at The University of Missouri- Kansas City campus. My clinical education and experience began in foster care, adoption and working with families. Then it branched out to Veteran care and a Dementia specialty. I have always enjoyed offering end of life care as it is sacred work. I have a lot of experience working with couples navigating various relationship problems. I believe it all comes down to having a caring, competent provider to walk along side you when you need one, regardless of the situation. If together we find that I can be that therapist for you...we will get busy helping you feel relief and gain confidence in whatever you are dealing with.

At an early age I spent hours listening to people talk about the transitions, traumas, and troubles in their life as I played just out of ear’s reach (or so they thought). These special moments ignited a passion for people and what happens when human beings start being human.

I get to know each client individually, so we can work collaboratively to come up with goals that we work toward at your pace, ebbing and flowing as your needs change. My clinical experience has included intensive in-home crisis stabilization therapy, complex trauma treatment, solution-focused brief therapy, and treatment of dual-diagnoses.

I moved to St. Louis, MO from Tampa, FL in 2019 to study Social Work at Washington University, and chose to make a home here with my spouse, child, and pets. I spend most of my leisure time cooking, gardening, reading, hiking, and going on crafting sprees. I also love to travel away from home, in search of grand museums and new foods.
