Ambetter Therapists in Ballwin, MO
Many are taught to push through challenges on their own — to stay strong, stay busy, and keep moving forward. But sometimes that approach leads to feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. Therapy offers a space to step back, make sense of your experiences, and move forward with greater clarity and intention. While I work with a range of clients, I frequently support men navigating identity, emotional expression, stress, and life transitions.

Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I dedicated 10 years of my life to military service before transitioning to the field of psychotherapy. Since 2007, it has been my privilege to help individuals better understand themselves, communicate more effectively with others, and release toxic shame and guilt that may stand in the way of finding joy and fulfillment in life. I work with adults aged 18 and over, offering individual, family, and partnership therapy. Over the years, I've found that most people seek support in three key areas—relationships, trauma, and addiction—often navigating a combination of these challenges.

I accept Aetna, Optum, UHC, UMR, Ambetter, and Medicaid, and I also offer self-pay options.
My ideal client is someone who feels stuck — anxious, overwhelmed, or shaped by past experiences that still show up in daily life. They want real change, not just insight, but can’t seem to get their effort and results to line up. They’re motivated, self-aware, and ready to do the work — they just need the right support, tools, and perspective to finally move forward.
