Therapists in Saint Peters, MO

Counseling for wellness and wisdom. That’s my mission. My goal as your counselor is to accept an invitation into your complex and dynamic world; in hopes that I may offer you the support you are seeking to find peace. If you are searching through this directory, chances are you sense, or maybe even know, something is not quite right in your life. Are you personally struggling and haven’t found a solution or a way to move forward? Is your marriage or committed relationship in a state of turmoil? Perhaps your child or someone else you care deeply for is struggling, and you are unsure of how to help them or even cope yourself.

Since I've been working in the field of mental health since 1991, I've learned to address many issues that clients bring to my office including marital and relational, anxiety, depression, bipolar, boundaries, domestic violence, codependency, substance abuse, grief, and blended families.

Are you struggling with the pressures of school, work, marriage, or parenting? Do you wish you had someone to help you process your feelings of anxiety, grief, stress, or fear of the future? Do you need some resources, tools, and coping strategies to be healthy and present in your life?

Life can bring many changes, obstacles and difficulties, and it is my passion to help others navigate these challenges. I enjoy working with people of all ages, and specialize in indivdual, child/adolescent-focused, marital and family therapies. Counseling can be beneficial in addressing the following issues: anxiety; depression; ADHD; developmental and learning disabilities; substance abuse; marriage and pre-marital concerns; difficulties experienced in relationship to divorce, remarriage and blended families; career concerns; financial difficulties; loss and grief; trauma; abuse; and women's issues.

Is your marriage struggling, or a child having issues at home/school/bullying/anxiety or just need help? You might have some doubts about whether therapy can truly benefit your specific situation. Drawing from my personal life experiences and my educational background, I can provide assurance that therapy is indeed effective. We'll work together to gain a deep understanding of your current position, the journey that brought you here, and the direction you wish to move in the future. The path to improvement varies for each individual, which is why my counseling approach is not fixed but adaptable to meet you at your unique point.

I enjoy working with children of all ages, adults, and families in an effort to help others identify and build on current strengths and promote positive change where desired. My experience, training, and years of ongoing supervision enables me to offer you effective, quality, individualized care.

Welcome! Perhaps you're here because you feel overwhelmed or consumed by your strong emotions; your own voice gets lost in the chaos. Perhaps you find yourself doing all of the work in your relationships while sacrificing so much for others and still feeling alone. Perhaps you prioritize the needs of others, to your own detriment, while compromising on boundaries in an effort to seek acceptance. You know you want authentic connection, but anxiety and depression cripple your ability to build the life you want. Your needs matter, and I would be honored to hold space for the parts of you that long to be heard.

How amazing would it feel to be totally accepted and unconditionally supported, where YOUR needs are the priority? You're likely here searching for someone who will truly understand you, who knows how to help you with whatever is hurting right now. Does your past make today harder? Are you feeling frustrated and disconnected within your relationships? Do you wake up every day feeling discouraged or stuck? Or struggle to fall asleep because your brain can't stop worrying? We're a group of knowledgeable, compassionate clinicians who are invested in figuring this all out WITH you. Let us help you. We can tackle these things together.
