My clients are successful, highly-motivated professionals who find that certain areas of life are becoming unmanageable. They are seeking conscious, constructive, sustainable change. Change occurs through crisis, chance or choice. Conscious choice is constructive change. I seek an approach to therapy that embraces positive, proactive, sustainable change. Abuse, addiction, and trauma should be viewed as symptoms rather than defining characteristics. I help you focus on re-narrating negative thoughts, redefining formative relationships, restoring a healthy self-identity and regaining an emotional, physical, and spiritual balance. The addiction, abuse, or trauma doesn't affect just the individual but the entire family system. It is my goal to ensure that each client is accurately assessed then offered appropriate treatment modalities and personalized therapeutic interventions in a safe and caring environment. Special consideration is given to providing guidance from the perspective of individual needs, family systems interactions, and communication based recovery. By endorsing a holistic, proactive mental health care model, I seek to equip and empower individuals to manage struggles before they become dysfunctions. As a licensed psychotherapist I strive to adopt a positive perspective, bringing life back into balance, facilitating the restoration of wholeness and health, physically, mentally and spiritually. Together we can change the trajectory of your life, one small conscious choice at a time.Specialties: Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in MissouriNational Certified Counselor (NBCC),Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, supervised by Dr. Stefani Carnes, president of International Institute of Trauma and Addiction ProfessionalsAdvanced Certification in Abuse and Trauma,Trained and Certified to work with sex addicts, partners of sex addicts and abuse victims,Trained under Dan Allender,Trained under Patrick Carnes.Certificate in Civil and Family Mediation
