Existential Therapists in Moberly, MO

Welcome and happy searching! My clients have experienced success with me in working with career problems, relationship/attachment issues, self-esteem, trauma exposure, panic, anxiety, emotion regulation, neurodivergence, multicultural relations, and parenting concerns. I help you establish tangible goals while exploring deeper patterns and insights. My clients typically work through pressing matters that brought them to therapy on a more frequent basis, titrating down once stability has been established and adjusting to longer-term needs. I see any client who is appropriate for talk therapy.

I’m a licensed psychologist whose training and experience are in the area of Clinical Psychology. My work with individuals grows out of the perspective that people have innate abilities and unique experiences in life that combine to shape the ways in which they view themselves and others. I seek to help individuals understand the issues that may be preventing them from reaching life goals. I work with clients to help them create and maintain an understanding of themselves and the world around them. This kind of therapeutic work can result in a reduction of distress and an increase in positive interactions with others.

I have learned that no one is immune to mental health stress, trauma, OR substance abuse. Most really can find recovery and wellness. In 2000, I began my career providing counseling services in a treatment center and have continued to specialize in coping methods vs. "using." Relationships are sacred. I work with all arrangements of families (CNM & polyamory). Expert family/couples counseling requires expert training. The Gottman Method is taught in three levels and I completed all three in 2017. My intensive couples approach is successful in improving communication and provides many tools and results in a reasonable time frame.

I am a firm believer that virtual counseling sessions are just as effective as in-person sessions! I am excited to offer 30- and 45-minute virtual counseling sessions, which fit into everyone’s life. These sessions are convenient for you and fit into your busy schedule, but also allow us the opportunity to walk through the mountains and valleys of your life together. My desire is that during our time together, you are able to share your pain & struggles, without fear of judgment; and that you gain the courage to walk forward in life with the hope for a better tomorrow.

I operate from a holistic and integrative approach; valuing each individual, their strengths and honoring their experiences. I believe you have innate behaviors and skills that you can draw upon to overcome challenges and move toward becoming a better you. I enjoy working with both individuals and couples, and can assist you in your journey to new beginnings. I primarily focus my work on helping clients navigate and work through depression, anxiety, trauma, intrapersonal and interpersonal issues.

I am passionate about helping people uncover and heal emotional wounds contributing to anxiety, depression, and anger. In addition, through assessments and exploration, I can help you discover the life patterns that have kept you "stuck". Awareness of these patterns is a step toward freedom. One way to discover these patterns is through the use of the Enneagram. I am an Enneagram CP Certified Professional. See information about a group currently forming below.

If you are a believer, but you struggle with anxiety, or depression, or family problems...you are not alone. Only grace can save us, but in the meantime...many find it hard to access that grace. St. Barn is a non-profit organization offering Christian and Catholic counseling and life coaching. We are warm, accepting, and non-judgmental; we think that the best way to teach happiness is to model the principles we cherish. Even if you don't believe in God, the happiest life is a Catholic/Christian life. We help anyone who longs for true happiness to find the way.

I provide a genuine and authentic space to validate your feelings, and help you figure out what your strengths are, allowing us to use that to your advantage. Everyone goes through tough times and just because you may think that people have it 'worse' than you, doesn't discount your experiences. Life is complicated and difficult, the last thing anyone needs is any shame or pressure for struggling. You're stronger than you realize and I'll be here along side you to remind you!

Do you feel alone, like no one understands you and like you don’t even understand yourself? Do you feel exhausted because life is a heavy weight much of the time? Do you wonder if there is something inside you that is blocking you from living a better and more satisfying life? I believe that it is possible to dislodge those barriers. We start with recognizing patterns of overreaction and self-defeating behaviors. I help you develop the compassion for yourself that allows healing and I teach the skills that regulate your emotions and allow you to look at and respond to the world in a different way.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor I respect and honor the opportunity to meet with you. Sometimes the most valuable vehicle for healing can be having someone to talk to. My approach is welcoming, warm and friendly and my goal is to provide you with an accepting and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable to express your innermost thoughts and feelings. Together we will increase awareness and insight, build on strengths and resiliency, and explore coping skills for facing the stressors in your life.

There are many reasons that we find ourselves in need of help. I believe that we all have a desire for our lives to be better, but many times we are unsure of how to reach those goals. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, other mental health needs, or have experienced trauma in your life reaching out for help is the first step toward a better life.

Counseling is a wonderful investment in yourself and your relationships, but finding the right counselor is tough. I provide a safe space for clients to pause, reflect, feel, and find their way... Struggling with anxiety, relationship conflict/divorce, loneliness, grief, major life changes, or lingering issues from past trauma? I bring a depth of experience and professional training in communication, de-escalating & healing relationships, and trauma. I will bring an open, caring, inquisitive, and deeply compassionate presence to our time together. I'm here to sit with you—sometimes to challenge you—but always to really listen.
