I am a Christian but I do not discriminate against any religion and respect each client's religious beliefs. I am able to incorporate faith-based principles into your counseling process at your request and this can be established during your intake consultation.
Since 2007, I have provided a number of specialized therapeutic services to adults dealing with challenging life experiences such as depression, anxiety, infidelity, relationship conflict, infertility, perfectionism, self-esteem issues, pre-marital counseling, and couples counseling. I gained experience working in mental health at CenterPointe Hospital in St. Charles, Missouri as a therapist, as well as Medical City Green Oaks Psychiatric hospital in Dallas as the supervisor of the admissions department and an emergency room crisis interventionist. I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Southern Illinois University- Edwardsville and a Master of Arts in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri.
