I am a licensed psychologist working in Columbia, Missouri since 1997. My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, adjustment to divorce, parent-child conflict, parent consultation, relationship difficulties, stepfamily issues, chronic illness, and infertility. I work with children, adolescents and adults, with a focus on people who have experienced loss, trauma, adjustment issues and relationship problems. My goal is to reduce symptoms as quickly as possible and give clients tools to help them cope with the causes of their distress. I use an interpersonal approach to helping clients gain insight into their difficulties and identify strengths and positive approaches to coping and adjustment. I am on a wide variety of insurance panels, allowing for great flexibility in payment options.

A portion of my practice is devoted to conducting testing and assessments for Social Security disability evaluations for private attorneys and the State of Missouri.

Taking the first step toward getting help is often the most difficult.
