I am a licensed social worker with a Master of Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis. I currently provide adult counseling, serving adults aged 18 and older in the tri-county community. I have clinical experience working with a diverse range of populations, including individuals impacted by foster care, LGBTQ+ clients, and caregivers of children with disabilities and extensive trauma histories. My specialty is trauma-informed, identity-affirming therapeutic support that helps clients find meaning and hope in their personal stories. I use a relational, humanist approach that meets people exactly where they are.
Key areas of focus include
- Supporting functional skills development and emotional regulation
- Providing trauma-informed care with sensitivity to clients’ histories, including those with incarceration experiences
- Embracing clients of all faiths and backgrounds with an open, inclusive approach
