Welcome to my website. I hope this site provides you with useful information about me both personally and professionally. I wish you the best in finding just the right counselor who is a good fit for you or your family. Of course, I hope that you'll let me join you on your path toward healing.

I specialize in helping people improve the quality of their relationships. Whether you seek to transform your relationship with a significant person or simply understand yourself better, I can help you achieve your goals by using a variety of clinical techniques with plenty of encouragement along the way. I find it exciting that much current psychological research emphasizes the fact that human beings are transformed by the quality of their lifelong relationships. So, even if I'm helping with anxiety, anger or depression we always consider the relational component as I seek to help you.

Virginia Satir, a famous therapist, once said “We need to see ourselves as basic miracles.” I am privileged to see little miracles every day as I watch my clients grow in more positive behaviors, thoughts and emotions. We’ll work together on a plan to achieve your goals to transform your circumstances, thinking or feelings.

Even the best website is a poor substitute for meeting a therapist and seeing if he or she is a good fit for you or your family. I invite you to call with your questions and arrange a time for us to meet. In addition to daytime hours, I offer some evening/Saturday hours for your convenience. Appointments may be scheduled by calling (314) 249-5444. I strive to make your appointment within 48 hours of your initial phone call.
