Rooted in Compassion. Guided by Experience.

Licensed therapist and consultant serving Missouri and Illinois.

I believe healing happens in relationships—whether that’s with a therapist, a parent, or an entire team.

Whether you're here looking for a therapist or a consultant, you're likely carrying a lot. You might be navigating stress, burnout, or identity shifts—or trying to support others who are.

My work is about helping people and systems move through these challenges with clarity, confidence, and compassion.

  • Ambassador

    I’m Snickers, a retired therapy dog who spent years supporting kids and teens during their counseling sessions. I was known for my calming presence, unconditional acceptance, and love of belly rubs. These days, I’ve transitioned into a new role: spreading joy and simple reminders about taking care of our mental health.

Why This Work Matters to Me

I’ve sat in the therapy chair. I’ve led teams during crises. I’ve been the burned-out caregiver, the stuck professional, the person trying to do it all.

This work is personal—and it’s also deeply professional. I believe in showing up with heart, humor, and humanity every time.

  • I specialize in working with:

    • Teens & College students navigating pressure and identity

    • Millennial & Gen Z professionals dealing with career anxiety and trauma

    • Mothers in transition facing postpartum challenges or rediscovering identity

    • LGBTQ+ adults seeking safe, affirming support

    My work is trauma-informed, identity-affirming, and collaborative. Therapy with me is direct but compassionate, grounded in evidence-based practices and adapted to your unique needs. No fluff—just real tools, thoughtful insight, and space to be fully seen.

  • I also partner with:

    • Parents & caregivers through trainings that support adolescent development and emotional connection

    • Pre-licensed clinicians as a clinical supervisor who values reflective practice and cultural humility

    • Nonprofit leaders & HR teams to improve team health, reduce burnout, and increase impact

    I understand the weight of leadership, the complexity of team dynamics, and the emotional labor of caregiving and clinical work. My consulting approach blends empathy, strategy, and accountability to help people-centered systems thrive.
