I am a PLPC who specializes in working with children, adolescents and their families.

I received my Master’s of Arts in Counseling from Lindenwood University in 2010. I have taught elementary through high school special education and worked with at-risk students in both the public and private school setting. I hold my BA in elementary and special education, my MA in counseling and a Specialist Education degree in Elementary and Secondary School Leadership/Administration.

I bring 20 years of experience in education, and working with children and their families, to the clinical setting. I am accustomed to working with children facing a wide range of struggles. I specialize in working with children and adolescents on a variety of issues including anxiety, ADHD, behavior, life transitions, social skills and school issues.

My experiences include working with many disorders such as Depression, Anxiety, Asperger/Autism, Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity, Bi-Polar, and PTSD. I also help children who are experiencing grief, divorce, addiction and school related issues.

In addition to counseling, I am Assistant Director of Infinity Academy, a unique school that was created to meet the needs of neuro-diverse students. It is located in Springfield, MO and serves several families from surrounding areas.
