I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years experience as a career counselor specializing in the emotional issues that prevent career success. I have worked with people from all walks of life a nd i n all professions; with teens, college students, adults, and retirees. I am dedicated to my own continuing education, to provide my clients with the widest possible solutions to their career and personal concerns. My work history has included a variety o f roles that have given me unique perspectives into business, education and government policies that affect employment practices. My office is in Creve Coeur (St. Louis), Missouri, and I have served clients from surrounding states.
Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, I am currently seeing clients through virtual methods only.
