Therapists in Cuba, MO

I went into the field of psychology because I love helping people transform to the best version of themselves. We all need a safe place to understand ourselves and how we relate to others/self. I often say "We need to be Mindful of our Total-Well Being and that our minds and our bodies are an inter-connected systems. Where the mind goes, so does the man or woman in their actions and body states. We go to the physician for our physical health, so how much healthier would we be if we went to our psychologist for our mental health?" At heart, I am a holistic practitioner and love seeing my clients Thrive.

Hi there, I am here to help you. I work with individuals, couples, and families with struggles ranging from current life issues, relationship struggles, and issues that have been a lifelong battle. Clients often come to me because they have hit the lowest point and have never felt more alone, even after trying therapy countless times before. Many clients have left counseling finding resolution and a drive to live their life to the fullest. My clients have expressed finding healing, feeling equipped to manage life, and having healthier relationships and connections with others that they previously thought weren't possible.

What makes counseling work? A study found that resilience, relationship and faith make a difference. Together we can figure out your capacity for resilience - yes you have a capacity for change. One of the best things about counseling is building relationship. You can't know someone without allowing them to know you. Building that relationship is my primary focus and greatest strength. Believing that change is possible and using that belief can help your process. What are your values and beliefs? How do they guide you? I use my faith in my process, I will encourage you to use yours, whatever it may be - all are welcome.

We are a diverse group of licensed professionals. We are compassionate, knowledgable and honored to work with individuals, couples, and families. We support our clients to discover their own personal grace and agility, their ability to express themselves with integrity and conviction and most importantly to restore their faith in themselves and in their relationships.

As an Integrative Therapist, I bring together the whole person- emotional, cognitive, behavioral, physiological, and spiritual dimensions of each individual client for lasting change. Incorporating practical neuroscience to improve neurobiology, emotional regulation, calming the mind & body, and reducing anxiety and fear. Bridging the gap between where you are today and your best-authentic self. Helping clients reduce and eliminate traumatic memories, automatic negative thoughts, rumination, patterns of self-defeating behaviors, and subconscious mechanisms is the primary goal. Mind-body therapy for lasting change!

I seriously enjoy working toward that day when you can say to me, "I really think I'm doing BETTER!" So, I look forward to walking alongside you toward significant growth in your life and relationships. Often that means working through the anxieties, thoughts and traumas that have been part of your current and past struggles. As well, it can mean focusing on a STRATEGY for "what's the next right step". I believe you can borrow from my HOPE, borrow from my INSIGHT and borrow from my EXPERIENCE as we create your own plan to make "better" days.

I am a licensed professional counselor who works from a client-centered approach.

I will work with you to identify patterns of maladaptive coping and learn healthier ways to cope with life's challenges.

Allow me to help you transition from uncertainty to hope, healing and personal growth. I have over 20 years of experience working with people in a safe, caring, supportive environment. My position is to help you find solutions in managing and coping with life changes.

The world we live in today can be chaotic and scary. The constant stress and worry about your relationships, physical and mental health, career, and more can feel overwhelming to the point of completely shutting down. Some days you may even feel like falling asleep and never waking up again. This is not the life you thought you would live. Instead, you were hoping for comfort, security, confidence in yourself, and joy that radiates from deep within your soul. You want relationships that support you and meet your needs and desires, a career that feels satisfying and the ability to look in the mirror and smile back at what you see.

Reaching out for support takes strength and courage. I respect this, and my aim is to create a calm, inviting atmosphere where a deep sense of trust can grow between client and therapist. I believe that pain shared is pain lessened and that people can and do recover from issues that have been troubling them for years. I have found that many people enter therapy not because of a complex mental health issue but because of a general feeling of life not being what they would like it to be. Let me be a catalyst of change for you.

Congratulations on making the decision to bring positive change into your life! I have experience working with a wide range of clinical issues including but not limited to: depression, anxiety, self-esteem, PTSD, first responder trauma, post-partum depression, family conflicts, pre-marital counseling, polyamorous relationships, domestic violence, multiple personality disorder (DID), Asperger’s Disorder, relationship issues, identity crisis, LGBT specific problems and concerns, grief and loss, as well as people struggling with bipolar disorder. I also have experience in paranormal psychology. All sessions are telehealth/online!

Therapy acts as a catalyst for growth and speeds up the process of maturing into the best version of ourselves. I believe that everyone can benefit from this, not just people who have concerns regarding their mental health. I see depression, anxiety, and other challenges as opportunities for deep growth. Adversity helps forge character! For some this can be overwhelming and if this is the case, my first objective is to help relieve these symptoms. From there we can continue discovering you, master the challenges at hand, and keep peeling back the layers of your best self.

My experience with helping individuals and families overcome difficult challenges is my passion. I believe that it easier to find and build upon one's strengths than it is to focus primarily on fixing problems. Much of my time in therapy is spent on discovering creative solutions rather than talking too long just about what is wrong. I often involve the whole family and believe that every person is unique and requires an individualized approach. One size does not fit all. Please call me or email today discuss your needs and hopes and/or to set an appointment time.
