🌟 Exciting Milestone! 🌟
I’m proud to share that I am now an officially Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) — no longer under supervision! 🎉

This means 816 Counseling Services, LLC is fully up and running under my independent license, and I’m now accepting new clients for individual, family, and school-based therapy.

With years of experience as a school counselor and deep roots in the Liberty, Missouri area, my passion is supporting kids, teens, and young adults through life’s challenges — from anxiety and ADHD to behavior struggles and emotional growth.
