While we will face many challenges at all stages of our lives, we need not endure them alone. There are few things we cannot bear in the presence of a safe and caring other. It is a true privilege for me to be a part of this life-changing experience for my clients, wherein they come to realize that they are not alone in their journey towards better health and human flourishing. I focus on the therapeutic relationship in a person-centered approach to counseling that creates space for empathy and accountability to coexist and provides the backdrop for growth and change over time. I understand that starting out on your counseling journey can feel intimidating, and I am glad to answer any questions you might have about what to expect and how the process works.

I enjoy helping adults, couples, and adolescents (ages 14+) dealing with anxiety and perfectionism, experiencing relationship issues, and discovering how their cumulative life experiences have impacted current functioning and challenges. Have you ever wondered why certain situations are triggering for you when they don’t seem to impact others in the same way? Are you curious about why you continue to experience a painful, recurring cycle of conflict with family members, spouses/partners, friends, or your children? Maybe you’ve asked yourself whether change is even possible after so many years of living with deep-seated pain. These are all questions we can explore together as we work toward greater understanding, healthier relationships, and meaningful change. With 15 years combined experience as a teacher and school counselor prior to joining CarePoint, I am also comfortable working with adolescents who are navigating school-related concerns, difficult social dynamics, identity issues, and learning challenges.

I earned a Master of Education in Counseling from the University of Missouri, St. Louis in 2021. I love to spend time with my husband and three children, taking advantage of the many free St. Louis family attractions and parks! You may also find me reading, playing the piano with my church band, analyzing the latest season of Survivor, dreaming about where I’d like to travel next, or pretending I can play pickleball in my free time.
