Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Springfield, MO

I have over 20 years of experience in healthcare. My career began as a pharmacy technician, then as an emergency room nurse, and later supervising behavioral health units at Mercy St. Louis before becoming a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.This background allows me to understand mental health from both medical and psychiatric perspectives.

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.

I offer a wide range of therapeutic services, including individual therapy for adolescents, and adults. I specialize in creating a supportive environment where clients can explore personal challenges, improve communication, and work toward healthier relationships. My experience extends to school counseling, working with high school students to foster emotional resilience, addressing academic stress, and promoting mental well-being. I facilitate group sessions, providing participants with a collaborative space to connect with peers and developing coping strategies for navigating life’s challenges.
