After retiring as Director of Counseling at Lindenwood University, I moved to Warren County; I live in Troy and now practice videotherapy from my home office. I have been an LPC in Missouri since 1987, and the author of two books. I very much enjoy working with clients; I have a professional, energetic, friendly style. As a systems therapist, I approach clients in an interdependent manner... never in isolation. Even when working with individual clients, I am mindful of how their myriad relationships affect them...and how they affect others. I think of all clients psycho-biologically. IFS and ketamine are new interests.

Do you often wonder, "What is wrong with me?" or "Why do I feel so different from others?" and "Will this pain ever end?" Feelings act as messengers, often defying the rules of logic. However, emotions still hold critical insights into our needs, desires, and what's working or not. You'll learn to interpret your emotions and experiences in a way that makes sense. Together, we'll unravel the confusion of feelings and tap into the inner strengths you already have. I'll guide you on the journey back to yourself. You are deserving of that.

Evening openings now available - My philosophy of counseling is to let others know they are not alone. Clients will always have someone to talk to about anything troublesome. I believe all people need someone to be there for them, to comfort them and give them tools to self-sooth and learn to succeed to the best of their ability. Through unconditional positive regard, creating a safe space which is nonjudgmental and confidential, and by using active listening and other techniques clients can continue to learn to improve themselves and their environment.

Life can be unpredictable, chaotic, and scary at times. Other times it feels like time is moving fast and you have so many things to do that it feels impossible. You are questioning yourself and your abilities to handle life. You are thinking the same things over and over, with no real resolution. You haven’t quite found your “people” and it’s been weighing you down lately. I enjoy working with young adults who are learning who they are and what they want to offer the world, but struggle with motivation and self-esteem to accomplish their goals. I am here to help and support you.

We all struggle from time to time. Children in particular are learning every day how to pick up and carry on after they've faced something that really challenged them. But sometimes they get stuck and don't know what to do. Divorce, bullying, changing families, and so many other life changes that are out of our control can have a drastic impact. They can lead us to withdraw, fall behind in school, act out at home, or worse. Whatever the issues you and your family may have, I believe that sessions with me can help you and your family to figure out where you're stuck and what we can do to move forward.
