Therapists in New Haven, MO

Our symptoms have something to say. Different symptoms bring people into psychotherapy: anxiousness, chronic sadness, creative and artistic block, loneliness, addictions, sexual obsessions. Symptoms are a language, and though they are often labeled as depression or anxiety, the meaning of a symptom is unique to the person who suffers with it. Symptoms are painful, but they are also startlingly creative, personal and specific. Sometimes the body is asked to express the scary, painful things that words cannot. When physical symptoms occur without a medical explanation, we can look to them to help us understand the mental and emotional landscape.

What's not working with your health and life goals? Do you suffer from pain and can't get a clear answer why? Do you find the motivation to stay healthy an impossible task with your busy schedule? Do difficult relationships or trauma make it hard to manage stress? It's time to do the deeper work.

I am a professional licensed counselor who does individual counseling working with adults. I work with clients struggling with domestic violence, trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, adjustment issues, and attachment issues. I am eclectic in my approaches depending what the client's needs are. Some of the approaches I use are CBT, TF-CBT, Family Theories, and Inner Child Work. I am also trained in EMDR. It's important to me offer clients a nonjudgmental space to be able to heal and meet their goals.

It is my priority to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore and gain the insight, self-awareness, and self-acceptance you desire. I have a holistic approach and believe therapy is not a "one size fits all" model.

Talking to a therapist is hard; all those emotions are difficult, and being strong all the time for those around you is exhausting. I get it, and I want to make it easier for you. I use interactive techniques that do not leave you sitting on the couch, staring, and not knowing what to say. You came looking at this site for a reason; I believe the reason is that you have suffered long enough and are ready to make a change. Change is scary; you are not alone. I'll be there with you as you make the change. Give me a call.

It takes courage to walk in and sit down with someone to share your story. An honest story that includes stress, anxieties, sadness, grief, and emotional suffering. My intention as a therapist is to create a safe and inclusive space for clients.

I currently specialize in working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, and relationship issues.

Experiencing painful emotions, chronic depression, anxiety, or feelings of distress? Are there unexpected changes happening in your life? Life is unpredictable, full of highs and lows, ups and downs, beginnings and endings. I want to normalize your feelings because life is not easy. Difficult emotions consume us, other times we avoid them either way; they affect us. Therapy can help you make sense of the complicated nature of life, mental illness, and relationships. If you are ready to explore your personal journey and healing, you have come to the right place.

The goal of my approach to therapy is to get your defense system out of the way so that you can operate out of your true sense of self, begin to create boundaries, and make choices truly reflective of your own wants and needs. When you achieve this, you no longer need to rely upon the destructive coping techniques previously used to prevent your full evolution and integration of body, mind, and spirit.

We all encounter problems at different stages in life. Some are easy to handle, whereas others leave us hurt, confused, and hopeless. Our brain is an important organ, and it can get sick, just like any of the other organs in our body. What it takes to heal differs between person to person. We will never pretend we know exactly what you are going through, because we aren't you. But, what we can do is help! Being licensed in both Missouri and Arizona allows us to reach out to help even more people. Whether you are looking to move forward from the past, learn to live with loss, handle stress and anxiety/depression better, we can help!

I am passionate about connecting with people and providing a safe and confidential space in which you can share your hopes, dreams, and fears. I believe that each person has innate strengths and I feel honored to be able to be a part of your journey towards a more satisfying and healthy life.

Do you need to find peace of mind? Are you ready to find a sense of calm and happiness in your life? Do you have a history of trauma or emotionally difficult relationships? I help people learn to manage stress more effectively, establish stable social support networks, use coping skills to gain emotional well-being, rewire old ways of thinking/feeling, and resolve any past events that are still weighing you down. I help people overcome PTSD and resolve anxiety without medication.

Have you found yourself wondering how your life has turned out this way? Do you feel stuck in your current mental state, job, relationship? I'm here to help for any depression or anxiety resulting from life stressors. Changes can happen due to decisions, goals, or unforeseen events. Sometimes they are rapid but sometimes they build on each other to slowly impact our lives. No matter the changes, positive or negative, we can have a hard time adjusting to them. If any of this sounds like your experience, I would love to work with you.

I understand that beginning therapy is not easy and takes many people out of their comfort zone. I believe in a warm and nurturing environment that allows clients to work at their own pace. Your journey is your own, and I offer a non-judgmental approach with each person I work with. I enjoy meeting with individuals, couples, and families. I have specialized training in Internal Family Systems (IFS). This model allows clients the opportunity to get to know each "part" of themselves and provides a way to regulate emotions and improve problem solving skills.
