Support, from one mom to another

Welcome! So glad you’re here. Here’s a bit about me: I have almost 15 years experience in supporting the family journey from pregnancy to teens, and I started Present Moment Counseling Services in order to continue this work with families in Missouri and Illinois, where I am licensed as a clinical social worker (therapist) and behavior analyst.

I’m continuing this work with the coaching arm of my practice, Present Parent Coaching Services, which allows me to provide parent coaching (something I’ve done since my very first job as a social worker 15 years ago!) to families worldwide.

I have supported infants, toddlers, kids, and teens and parents by utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment models, play therapy, mindfulness and somatic therapy techniques, advanced perinatal support, and family systems models. I am also a certified Circle of Security attachment-based parenting program facilitator. I have extensive experience working with early childhood emotional intelligence and overall big feelings, as well as children and parents who are neurodiverse.

My very first role as a clinical social worker was a parenting educator and from there, I spent the next decade working in and supporting all facets of family life. And as the mother of a young child, I can appreciate the root of the family system in this parenting journey!

I received a Bachelor of Communication Studies degree from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) in 2004. I received a Masters in Social Work degree from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, in 2010. I became certified and licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in 2013. Simultaneously, I also received my Board Certified Behavior Analyst certification and licensure, also in 2013. I currently live on the Metro East side of St. Louis, in Illinois, and serve both states. In my free time, I love to garden, cook, and take my daughter on adventures!
