Override Hero Title

I am a warm and compassionate mental health counselor who offers a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. I specialize in depression, anxiety disorders, life transitions, and relationship issues.

I began practicing as a mental health counselor in 2013 and have worked with adults, adolescents, families and couples struggling with disorders ranging from depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, to borderline personality disorder. My practice is informed by Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — both evidence-based interventions that help clients make positive changes in behaviors and build coping skills and strategies to live more fully. I help clients build their own strengths to make change possible. I received my MA in Counseling in 2012 from Maryville University in St. Louis and am licensed in both New York State and Missouri. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a public relations and marketing executive and business consultant. I hold a Masters degree in German and speak German fluently.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and graduated from St. Bonaventure University with my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have several years experience working with adults struggling with trauma, anxiety/panic, depression, and relationship issues, in both community agencies, as well as private practice.

As a devoted therapist, I believe that we all have the inner strength to overcome our obstacles, sometimes we just need the education, support, and empowerment to help us along. It takes strength to even acknowledge that we need that help, so you are already doing awesome taking this first step! I have experience working with individuals struggling with a wide range of challenges and backgrounds. I currently specialize in working with young adults and adolescents facing difficulties with ADHD and anxiety.

I am a queer non-binary transmasc therapist whose goal is that, with me, you can feel safe and honored. Feeling comfortable sharing may not feel easy or immediate, so I aim to stay present, mindful and non-judgmental, inviting you be at ease to bring your full self to our sessions. My therapeutic style is relational, allowing freedom of expression to occur in our dynamic. I value the way the mind and body are intricately connected and inform our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am guided by therapeutic modalities such as DBT, somatic experiencing, internal family systems and polyvagal theories, as well as psychedelic integration. I am trauma focused and aware of the way trauma can become stuck in our nervous systems responses. I want to help support you in creating satisfying change, so that you feel connected and engaged in your life.

I have significant experience working with queer/LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, people who are HIV+, survivors of religious trauma, sex workers, mental health crises, developmental trauma and people diagnosed with personality disorders.I will do my best to honor your specific life experience and the strength you have as your life's narrator.
