I am located East off of 270 and West off of 170 on Olive Road. From Olive Road you turn onto Craig Road. Once on Craig Road, you take the second right to the 745 Craig Road building.

In order to do online therapy, you must reside in the state of Missouri at the time of your online appointment. This is to ensure I am practicing within the scope of my license. You will receive a HIPPA compliant link to your therapy appointment before your scheduled session. At the time of your session, you will click the link to join your session.
I will ask where you are located at the time of your session for safety purposes. To maintain confidentiality, you should have your session in an area where no one can overhear you.
-
Yes. I offer both in-person and online sessions based on the client’s preference. I can also do a mixture of these if requested.

My fees are $130 per 50 minute counseling session. I do offer sliding scale rates starting at $85 for those who are in financial need. These rates may not always be readily available, but I will work with each person on a case by case basis.
I am currently in network with UHC, Optum, UMR, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna insurance.
Don’t see your insurance plan listed? As an out-of-network provider, I have partnered with Mentaya to help my clients save money on therapy. Ask me about your insurance plan and I can verify your potential benefits.

During our first session, I will spend 5 to 10 minutes going over all necessary paperwork and legality items (policies, procedures and confidentiality). You will be able to ask any questions you may have during and after this time.
After that is completed, we will spend the remaining session time going into more detail with what brings you into counseling, problem history, family and social background, medication history, medical history, education and job history as well as goals for counseling.

This is dependent on each person and their presenting problems. Some people just need a little extra support in the beginning to feel more in control of what they are dealing with.
I provide evidenced-based techniques tailored to each client in the beginning sessions to help manage any overwhelming or difficult symptoms. From there, the remaining sessions will be focused on healing and getting you to your goals.
