Do you find it challenging to make time for yourself? Do you feel like you need a break from juggling the demands of daily life, even just for a moment? These breaks are essential in caring for your heart and mind. I specialize in providing supportive, mindful therapy as a piece of the greater picture of self care.

I don't have a ideal client in mind. I want to help people in personal distress. That being said, I have counseled all manner of people, the vast majority being adults across the spectrum of needs.

You have made the brave decision to seek support and you are worth it. Meeting with a therapist can be intimidating; it requires strength and vulnerability. We are imperfectly human and we deserve to work towards honest self-acceptance, empowerment, and esteem in a safe place. Anxiety, codependence, depression, grief, isolation, and feelings of powerlessness can leave us exhausted and at a loss for answers. It can be easy to forget that we deserve "to be loved, and to feel worthwhile" (W. Glasser). I invite you to remember that when experiencing stress. It would be an honor to be witness to the growth of your self love.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with the State of Missouri and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) with the National Board for Certified Counselors. I received my master's degree in Counseling Psychology and Counselor Education from the University of Colorado Denver, in 2011.

Do you or your child display high emotional intensity? Passion and drive for learning? Insatiable curiosity, extreme focus and perfectionist tendencies? Deep empathy and awareness of social injustices and hypocrisy? Fear of trying new things and anxiety about the unknown? Gifted individuals are characterized by their heightened perceptions of self and the world around them, but are often limited in their ability to process their intense reactions and emotions. I understand and can relate to the varied and complex needs within the gifted population.

In my practice I understand that clients bring painful experiences and emotions into therapy, and that those experiences manifest in many ways. My goal is to act as a guide and support as clients become empowered through the therapeutic journey. I work with clients in a collaborative, compassionate, strengths-based manner. Through my education and life experience, I have an array of tools in my tool box that allow me to flexibly work with clients. One of my greatest tools that I bring to therapy is that I have experienced treatment and recovery, personally. I know that full recovery is possible and would like to help you.

Helping clients, whether we meet individually, as couples or in groups, is my highest priority. As a compassionate active listener, I provide a safe, warm, non-judgmental space. Our close relationships within our lives can give us strength but can also create conflict, anxiety, and/or depression. The result may be physical discomfort, low self-esteem, even PTSD, as well as thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that can get in the way of making positive decisions. Working as a team, my clients and I identify behavioral patterns, set goals, and begin a plan to achieve resolution and healing.

For the past 30 years I have led Bridges Community Supports, a small business 150 staff strong, helping individuals and families with and without IDD throughout St Louis and beyond.

Together we will work toward increasing ease and learn how your life is offering opportunities to grow using courage and self-care.

***NOTE: I am currently not accepting new clients. If you'd like to be put on a wait list or receive a referral, please feel free to email me!*** I am passionate about coming alongside clients as they seek to find comfort, peace, and healing in the midst of the many difficulties that life can bring. From the moment you walk in my office, my goal is to provide you with a place where you feel safe to work through issues at your own pace, while experiencing both comfort and understanding. I strive to create an environment where clients can feel seen and heard without experiencing shame. I also offer clinical supervision.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who practices both individual and couples therapy. I have extensive experience working with client's from diverse backgrounds. My training as a social worker has given me the understanding of how both childhood and current life circumstances impact people. I work to assist client's in understanding how they deal with these problems. My goal is never to provide answers for people, but to help people to understand themselves so that they can function and operate independently of their conflicts and problems.

CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW INDIVIDUAL CLIENTS. Being a Human is tough. The world that we live in today is a challenging place to navigate. We all need support, care, and compassion.

Through individually designed sessions we will work to help you find your strengths and face your challenges, be it recovery from an eating disorder, trauma, or life change. Our work can center around talk, mindfulness, and dance to access and integrate every part of yourself, giving you the opportunity to experience wholehearted living.

I specialize in helping freethinking women, sexual and gender minorities, and nontraditional couples who have already overcome so much, but find that something keeps holding them back. I help people decidedly outside the mainstream, who aren't looking for a professional to fit them back into conformity. I work best with individuals and couples who already have some practice with self-reflection but you now need a fresh perspective and stronger support. I enjoy helping diverse people, in terms of relationship style, abilities, brain type, or cultural identities. I also specialize in recovery from cults or narcissistic abuse.

I am here for you as you are right now... I can imagine that right now things may not be the way you want them. Do you find yourself feeling unsettled? Feeling stuck and just can't seem to make important changes? Find that powerful emotions keep taking you off track from what you truly want? Have you had painful events occur and have noticed you're not quite the same anymore? ... For 10+ years I've been helping people build a life full of meaning. Which often means figuring out how to make important changes while also finding acceptance. This can mean resolving past painful events, boosting skills and/or resolving current problems.
