Therapists in Creve Coeur, MO

I believe everyone, especially children and adolescents, deserve a safe space to process and explore their feelings and life challenges that come their way. It is my goal to provide a safe space for children and their families to explore and process whatever experiences or challenges they might be facing, as well as assist in their growth as they work to better understand themselves, explore their emotions, and build coping strategies.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life

I provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive enviornment where I guide individuals and couples to help them overcome mental health and emotional issues to bring about a new level of awareness and change. This is done by identifying and understanding the underlying causes, changing destructive thought patterns, and behaviors. I am also a certified Thai Yoga therapist. I keep both practices separate in that I do not do psychotherapy with Thai Yoga clients or vice versa.

Challenging times and unforeseen life deviations happen. Relationships struggle and sometimes end. Hurt, stress, grief, depression and anxiety are often a result. Counseling is a powerful benefit to help you navigate your journey to reach healing and growth. You do not have to walk through it alone. I can help you to understand your situation, cope, and move through life productively.

Adversities can rob you of peace and affect your ability to stay on life’s course. The distress experienced in today’s world can be associated with toxic stress, cycles of trauma, depression, grief, fear or experiences of racial and social injustices. The way you respond to life’s difficulties matters. True healing occurs when you give yourself permission to explore and face frightening or limiting beliefs that may live beneath emotions causing discomfort and pain.

I discovered counseling after a period of stress, confusion, and not having anyone else I could talk to. That discovery was helpful for me because I felt seen. With humility, I saw things through the eyes of others and began to think and feel things about myself that I had never known before. I work best with clients who are willing to be seen, humble, and motivated to explore the journey of healing for themselves. Asking for help takes courage and if you reading this then I bet you have some.

Welcome and thank you for considering me to support you along this journey.
