I am a clinically licensed therapist who works with teens and adults. I support clients who are dealing with anxiety, ADHD, depression, emotional regulation, relationship stress, life transitions, and self esteem concerns. I aim to create a space that feels warm, genuine, and safe. I believe therapy does not have to feel intimidating to be effective, and I often use appropriate humor to help clients feel more comfortable while doing meaningful work.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years experience in leadership and direct care positions in behavioral health and substance abuse facilities, I remain dedicated to helping individuals respond to and cope with the challenges of life. These include living with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship issues, parenting, or other life's stressors, as well as, the challenges of alcohol or drug abuse disorders. I have frequently witnessed, and believe, recovery is possible and I appreciate the opportuity to assist you in finding the hope, joy and happiness you deserve.
Hello!
I proudly bring lived experience to the table, so I know a different life than comes in textbooks. It increases my odds of understanding you better and of being able to develop unique strategies for you in a shorter amount of time. I've wanted to work in mental health since I was a child, and bring that enthusiasm to my work. Hope to see you soon.
I am seasoned therapist with over 10 years of experience. I have worked with a wide range of clientele.
If you are moving through a major life transition, especially one you did not choose, you may notice that old ways of coping no longer work. Many people I see are adapting to a new chapter, trying to build skills for what is next while caring about how change will affect the people they love. Some arrive unsure about trying therapy again after a difficult experience. Together, we explore how your family of origin and earliest relationships echo in what you face today.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Springfield
Searching for therapists in Springfield starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare Springfield therapists, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Reading bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Springfield has a range of therapy options, including therapists with offices near central neighborhoods and therapists who offer virtual sessions across Missouri. In a mid-sized market, it helps to balance location, schedule, and fit. Some people prefer in-person therapy in Springfield, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility around work, school, or caregiving. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their communication style.
