Therapists in Saint Louis, MO

I am an individual therapist with 20 years of experience working with survivors of childhood abuse, trauma, and intimate partner violence. More recently, my practice has expanded to focus on anxiety disorders, depression, and perfectionism. I am a trained teacher of Kristen Neff's Mindful Self-Compassion, a former DBT skills group facilitator, and have trained in RO-DBT. Over the past twenty years I have served as a teacher and trainer in settings ranging from elementary to graduate level classrooms and post-graduate continuing education workshops.

Our patients are individuals, couples or groups who have been struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorder and other behavioral challenges that have made ordinary day to day functioning impossible or extremely difficult. Through evidence-based clinical mental health therapy that includes EMDR, CBT, DBT, and SFBT, we assess, and diagnose individuals, couples and groups providing evidenced-based treatment plans.

I hold two doctorates one in psychology and a master's degree in clinical mental health care, and professional counseling making me a highly qualified professional counselor, clinician, and therapist. Additionally, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). My expertise lies in providing talk therapy to individuals of all ages, including adolescents, adults, seniors, families, and groups. To ensure the best outcomes for my clients, I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy as an initial approach. This allows me to effectively address their specific situations and circumstances.

La vida es impredecible y puede traer desafíos abrumadores. Puede ser difícil encontrar tiempo para cuidarnos en un mundo lleno de demandas constantes, injusticias y tensiones diarias. Todos necesitamos apoyo durante las circunstancias desafiantes que estamos enfrentando en este momento. Me especializo en el tratamiento de traumas, violencia de género, traumas generacionales, baja autoestima, ansiedad y depresión. Creo que la terapia efectiva implica no solo abordar las preocupaciones de salud mental, sino también reconocer y honrar las sutilezas culturales y sensibilidades.
