About

For as long as I can remember, I have been deeply curious about the mind and the human condition.  I have also always been driven by a desire to ease suffering in those around me.  So finding my way into this profession was rather straightforward.  I continue to be in awe of the complexity of people, and I feel very grateful to have the opportunity to do this beautiful work.  

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, and a Nationally Certified Counselor.  I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Bard College with a focus in Child Development and a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Baruch College, City University of New York.  I have been practicing psychotherapy in various settings since receiving my Master's Degree in 2014. 

I work individually with adults of any age and teenagers.  I have experience working with individuals with an extensive range of presenting concerns.  I work well with people with anxiety, those who have experienced trauma, addictions, sensitive and creative individuals, people sorting through existential or spiritual matters, and anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.  I take an affirmative stance toward those who are clear about their identities, and enjoy helping those who are in the midst of exploration.  Another of my strengths is connecting with teenagers and helping them navigate the transition into early adulthood.

I strive to always improve as a therapist, so I regularly take courses, attend seminars, and seek out consultation.  I have completed trainings in trauma-focused therapy, culturally-competent care, play therapy for children, family systems theory, and spiritually-integrated psychotherapy.  I completed a two-year training in Advanced Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at the St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute.
