I served my country with honor in the United States Army for 5 years. Upon reaching a decision point that was best for me and my family, I separated after 5 years and began a 3 year career in the United States Army National Guard. Simultaneously, I took the first job that was offered to me and it just happened to be as a security officer in a major Community Hospital. Part of my duties as a security officer were to help people with mental health challenges and addictions from a Safety and Security standpoint, while my duties in the National Guard as a chaplain's assistant was to exemplify empathy and compassion.

I'm a secular therapist, currently seeing individuals only- I prefer to take things slow, so rapport and genuine connection can be built. I don't have all the answers or a magic wand, and you're not a toaster that needs to be fixed. But life is hard as hell, and having someone you can count on every week to provide clinical guidance, empathy, and a safe space to process definitely makes it a little easier to keep going.

Have you ever felt that nagging sensation that something isn’t quite right within your mind? Or perhaps you’ve received a diagnosis from a doctor that labels you with a mental health disorder? It’s essential to remember that a diagnosis does not define who you are. You are so much more than any label; you are a unique individual with your own strengths and potential. I understand that navigating conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders can be overwhelming and confusing. The journey can feel isolating, but I want you to know that you don’t have to walk this path alone.

I became a Missouri licensed professional counselor in 1998 giving me almost 25 years of experience. I have spent many years working with abused and neglected youth as well as youth who had mental illness and addiction issues. I have also spent years working with the seriously mentally ill. I find myself most at home with the teenage group. Perhaps because I was such an unruly teenager myself. I think it's population in great need right now.

Something bad happened. An event has become a point in time where your life changed, and not for the better. You feel stuck in your trauma without any way out. Your nervous system has hijacked your happiness. You stay in an anxious, angry or afraid state of being. You may interact with the world, but it feels like you are just going through the motions. Or you might not be interacting with the world at all. You're completely shut down. You long to feel what other people must certainly feel: happiness, love, joy, and contentment. You survived and that's great! but you want more than that. You want to truly live!
