Our
greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in
rising every time we fall.
-Oliver Goldsmith
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 bachelors 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, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois and a National Certified Counselor.
I
view the therapeutic relationship
as a vital part of the change process. During the time I spend with my
clients, I
work diligently to establish a supportive, collaborative atmosphere
where we
can look honestly at you present life difficulties and create a future
that is
not dictated by past behavioral patterns. Although my technique tends
to be in a cognitive behavioral framework, I utilize a variety of
techniques depending on the particular difficulties and needs of my
client.
If you are considering therapy as a
possible solution to the challenges you are facing, please contact me to
schedule a free 15 minute consultation to determine if my services are right
for you. Even if I can not meet your needs, I will be happy to direct you
to an environment where you can get the help you that you are looking for and
the peace of mind that you deserve.
