Would you like to learn how to surf through life's challenges rather than get pummeled by them? I can teach you as a Positive Intelligence coach, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). For over 30 years, in Missouri and Illinois I've helped people of all ages struggling with emotional regulation, the management of symptoms of depression or anxiety, stress, life transitions, anger management, parenting, and burnout to become the best versions of themselves. Together, we would focus on what is helpful and let go of judging what is right or wrong.
