I know how painful it can be to be trapped in the addictive cycle, desperately wanting out but not even sure how to begin. Sobriety is possible for you, yes you! You do not have to spend another day just surviving, and you do not have to find your way out of the muck alone. I have a heart for treating those struggling with addiction and believe that being a counselor is my life's calling. There is little that gives me as much joy as an unexpected text or call from a past or present client informing me that they are another day, month or year sober.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am the co-founder of St. Louis Addiction Counseling and have had a thriving private practice for over ten years, working exclusively with clients struggling with substance abuse. I have been fortunate to have been the speaker for many NAMI events, featured on New Channel 5 St. Louis, numerous radio shows and podcasts and recently a guest lecturer at Westminster University. I am passionate about being a part of the recovery community in St. Louis and believe in the importance of dismantling the stigma surrounding the treatment of addiction and mental health.
For me, counseling is about facilitating an environment where change is possible. From my own experiences, I have come to understand that life’s obstacles have the potential to either destroy us, or they can become a time in life where we can grow the very most.
I use a nurturing and direct style, while I focus on helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I believe in using evidence based practices and I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I want my clients to create a "sober life with living."
I approach the counseling profession with clinical knowledge, humor (laughter can heal), energy and a compassionate heart. I treat clients of all ages, genders, sexual preferences and cultural backgrounds.
