If you tend to overthink, question yourself, or carry more than you show on the outside, therapy can be a powerful place to sort through what’s underneath the surface. I work virtually with teens and adults navigating anxiety, people-pleasing, life transitions, trauma, and existential or spiritual questions. With over 20 years of clinical experience, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I help clients understand their patterns, regulate their nervous systems, and build a steadier relationship with themselves. You don’t have to have everything figured out. We’ll make sense of it together.
My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and collaborative. I blend practical tools with mindfulness and a deep respect for intuition and nervous system healing. Our work is gentle but powerful; helping you release old patterns, calm your body, and begin aligning your life with what truly feels right for you.
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to shift, I invite you to contact me. I offer virtual sessions for clients throughout Missouri. Reaching out is the hardest part — I make the rest easy. Send me a message and I'll get back to you within 24 hours to schedule a free 15-minute call.

I help adults overwhelmed by stress, people-pleasing, or family patterns that won't let go. In therapy, we'll clarify what's driving your symptoms and build practical tools to feel calmer, stronger, and more grounded. Clients often notice steadier moods and clearer boundaries within the first few weeks.
