About My Clients
I specialize in comprehensive dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I seek to treat individuals at war with themselves, those who struggle with self-acceptance, and humans uncertain of who they want to be. Many of my clients engage in non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors, experience suicidal thoughts, dislike themselves, and participate in quality of life interfering behaviors.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed psychologist in the state of Missouri and a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician. I also have Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology through PSYPACT.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe obstacles can be paths and hope to be of service to those who are struggling. The willingness to ask for help requires courage. I strive to provide guidance and support as we explore your inner strengths. I do not ask my clients to do anything that I would not do. I recognize my own fallibilities because I am human, too. Through collaborative work and a desire to push towards change, my goal is to aid in recognizing what you have control over in order to make the most of your time. I am straight-forward yet compassionate because I believe genuineness nurtures growth. We cannot choose what happens to us; however, we can learn how to respond more effectively as we build toward a life worth living. I have been in the behavioral health field for over 15 years in multiple positions.
