I have been working in the field of counseling and psychotherapy since 1996. I have experience working in a variety of settings, which has allowed me the privilege of counseling many different clients from diverse backgrounds. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient facilities and have done individual and group therapy as well and family and couples counseling. I grew up in the St. Louis area but have also lived and worked in other areas of the country including the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago and Dallas. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in 1987 in both Psychology and Sociology and my graduate degree in 1996 in Clinical Psychology. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri.
