I believe that people need to be heard, and can find and articulate their own truth, their own path to health with compassion, empathy, and time-to tell their story, feel appreciated, to heal, and to change. I have worked to include spirituality, creativity, and the ability to accompany someone on their journey-so that our brief connections can have impact through the week, and through life. I value family input and involvement, social supports, and evidence-based methods, but more so I value my client's individual personal journey. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and Certified Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor. I grew up in St. Louis, have lived around the country. I have a Master of Divinity (1991 Denver) and a Master of Science in Education and Counselor Services (1999, Fordham University NYC). I have worked in Private Practice and various clinical settings such as Medical Ctrs, Clinics, IOP, and RES SA Counseling since 1999. Individual and Couples work is my passion-adjustment and meaning, trauma, grief, addiction, sexuality and LGBTQ issues. But I love working with Groups Counseling, and enjoy public speaking and education. I am currently accepting new clients, and am working to connect with insurance companies to better serve clients.
