First Health Therapists in Florissant, MO
I’m so glad you’re here. I work with people who are feeling weighed down by stress, anxiety, past trauma, or challenges in relationships.

Therapy with me is about making changes you can see and feel in your daily life.

You’re carrying a lot — maybe more than you say out loud. You’re the strong one, the helper, the responsible one, and lately the weight of expectations, exhaustion, or major life changes has felt heavier. Whether you’re facing burnout from work, the pressure of building a life your family may not fully understand, or an identity crisis, you deserve support that meets you where you are.

Everyone has a story to tell. Sometimes it is filled with dark twists and turns, shadows, and the unexpected. Other times it is full of light, gentle breezes, and warmth. Stories are often full of both and it can be daunting to try and revisit some of the harder chapters alone. I offer a place of solace for your stories. A place where we can open and read each chapter of it together, learn from them, and gather tools to face the battles ahead. A place where we can challenge the things that still haunt us from these stories, and then put them on a shelf, a reminder of where you came from and what you’ve overcome.
