About Me
I grew up as a military kid but have lived in the St. Charles area for the past 30 years. I have been happily married since 1995 and have 2 grown children, 1 grown step-daughter, and 4 gransugahs. I very much enjoy hanging out at home and with family. During the spring, my husband and I enjoy vacationing in the mountains with family and high school friends.
Education
I graduated summa cum laude in 1990 from UM-St. Louis with a Bachelor of Social Work. And in 1991, I graduated from Washington University as a Bettie Schroth Johnson Scholar with a Master of Social Work. In 1997, I earned my license in clinical social work.
Areas of Expertise
For 26 years I have counseled adults who struggle with a myriad of issues. These include anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar, relationship concerns, boundary concerns, domestic violence, blended family concerns, co-dependency, or addiction. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, short-term solution-focused therapy, person-centered therapy, and psycho-education. I provide counseling in a comfortable home setting where my clients can heal and thrive.
