I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported. With more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing a wide range of challenges. I earned my Master's Degree in Community Counseling from Pittsburg State University and am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Missouri Associate Alcohol Drug Counselor II.
Throughout my career, I have worked in juvenile and adult justice systems, drug courts, schools, and community behavioral health settings. These experiences have given me a broad understanding of the many factors that influence emotional well-being and personal growth. I work with concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, anger management, substance use, relationship challenges, and adolescent behavioral issues. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their concerns and building a healthier, more fulfilling life.
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.
Everyone has the capacity for growth. Therapy offers a space to process life experiences with someone who will listen with empathy and support as you pursue a life that feels authentic and meaningful.

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples and specialize in supporting clients facing addiction, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to help people grow through practical tools, self-awareness, and renewed hope.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Missouri
Searching for therapists in Missouri is easier when you start with the type of support you want. Missouri has a wide range of therapists across urban and rural areas, so available specialties may vary by location. You might look for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare Missouri therapists, review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience. Some therapists focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care, while others may specialize in couples counseling, family counseling, or support for specific life stages.
Practical fit matters, too. If you live in Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, Warrensburg, or a smaller Missouri community, consider whether in-person sessions or virtual appointments fit your schedule and location. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, therapy style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading a therapist’s bio before booking can help you understand how they structure sessions, how they describe their communication style, and whether their professional counseling experience matches what you’re looking for.
The cost of mental health care in Missouri can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists and counselors who accept insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from available in-person or virtual sessions. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. From there, you can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
