I practice Cognitive Behavior Therapy with the emphasis on Mindfulness, Happiness and Self-Care. I am experienced in working with individuals and couples. I also am experienced with Exposure Therapy to help those who suffer from phobias. I understand the physical and mental effects of aging and I help people transition to become a happier and productive older adult. I offer a non-judgmental support and understanding with compassion. I use a strength based approach in my practice. I am a well-versed life coach who helps people discover their potential. I also have anger management modules for those who need help with their anger. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my undergraduate degree from Southeast Missouri State University in 1987. I then served as an officer in the United States Army. I attended University of Missouri-Columbia and I received my Master's in Social Work (MSW) in 2006. I am an avid outdoorsman and when I am not working, you can find me fishing, camping, hiking, and canoeing. I am a voracious reader and you can find me at a local used bookstore scrounging for bargains! I also love to cook and BBQ. My favorite quote: “Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.” —Dalai Lama
