If you're struggling, you owe it to yourself and those around you - your partner, children, colleagues, friends - to take a step toward change. If you're like many people, you are in a constant balancing act. Whether your struggle is managing the day-to-day stresses of life or a more specific concern, talking with someone who will really listen, getting support, and having help to consider your options can make a tremendous difference.

Therapy provides a safe place to increase understanding, to learn how to make positive changes, to resolve problems, to heal from painful situations, or to simply feel better. I believe these things occur best when an individual is in a non-judgmental environment where they are treated with dignity and respect. I strive to provide just that to my clients. I want people to feel relaxed and supported when working with me. Life, with all its challenges, is difficult enough. The therapeutic process should be as easy as possible.

My ideal client wants to work with me on identifying personal goals, behaviors that limit their success, and resources that will empower them to be successful. They are willing to work as hard as I do. I have devoted much time and energy to understanding how adverse experiences in life have created ways of surviving in the past, but create chaos in the present. My client will experiment with new behaviors between sessions and we will evaluate their progress. I use outcome rating scales to track client self assessment and session rating scales to get my client's assessment of our therapeutic relationship.

Do you find yourself feeling lost or confused about who you are? Maybe you're struggling to thrive or even to cope as the world changes around you. Identity struggles, grief, relational challenges, traumatic experiences, health changes, spiritual crises, and other naturally occurring stressors are all potential sources of anxiety that can alter the way we think and feel about ourselves and others in our present moment and moving forward. As a trauma-informed practitioner, I approach each relationship with a person-centered focus, operating holistically through the lens of trauma-informed care, recognizing you as a unique individual.

Counseling as a whole is perhaps needed now more than ever. We've seen rising prices for things in Missouri and across the US, horrible things happening in the Ukraine, in Israel, and of course, there is the pandemic we went through that affected literally everyone in the world. Even without these things, life brings its challenges, but add the stressors we've all been through for over 4 years now, in addition to the more recent problems we're facing, and it only makes sense that many people just like you will benefit from additional support and professional help in processing through life's difficulties.
