Your Therapist
I have worked in the counseling field for over 20 years and received a Social Work and
Counseling degree from the University of Missouri St. Louis. I am a Licensed Clinical Social
Worker and a National Certified Counselor. I am also a Certified Substance Abuse
Counselor II and a Registered Play Therapist. I believe that counseling consists of the
therapist and client working together to achieve the client's goals.
Everyone is a unique individual and counseling should be tailored to that persons needs.
Someone seeking therapy for the first time is usually somewhat anxious and unsure of how
therapy works and wondering if it will be helpful. The majority of people I have seen have
felt they have benefited from the process.
I share office space with other practitioners who bring some different skills to our group.
These include a Psychiatrist, Psychologist and other Counselors. Each with our individual
skills feel we are able to provide a variety and continuum of help.
