Most everyone has thought "What should I do with my life?" Students and adults today are overwhelmed by the options available and yet don't have enough information to make informed decisions. I work with individuals daily regarding all aspects of the college and career process helping them discover their best path. My philosophy is "It's all about FIT". Find what is right for YOU and the rest will fall in place. Should I take a gap year after high school? Enroll in college? Leave one job or career for another? I work with teens and adults making decisions. Decisions like these require thought and conversation. Let's talk!

Do you struggle with knowing what you want out of life? Do you have a hard time in and out of relationships? I help people to form a meaningful relationship with themself and others. My specialties include women’s concerns, relational and attachment concerns, and disordered eating. Feeling lost in life, the on the edge feeling of anxiety, the weighted down feelings of depression, and preoccupation with weight and food do not need to define you and be a part of your daily life. I have seen clients begin the journey of healing and achieve the healthy and happy life they want.

I work with adults and families who are challenged by symptoms of anxiety, depression, behavioral issues or other barriers to emotional well-being. My specialty is helping to gain an understanding of what has led to your current situation, and then moving toward solutions. I have a working understanding of family systems, attachment science, personality disorders and trauma-informed practices. I especially enjoy working with parents who are struggling with their children's behaviors or compliance, and I am also passionate about helping adult clients become "cycle breakers" and gain relief from generational dysfunction.

Many of my clients have anxiety that presents as overthinking, indecision, self-criticism, and deriving worth from performance. The self-doubt and rumination can be emotionally exhausting and contribute to overwhelm, depression, and unhelpful coping patterns. We often identify earlier life experiences that formed a belief of not being good enough, capable, or worthy of love. If this sounds like you, we might be a good fit for therapy. In my practice, I primarily utilize relationally and developmentally informed Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to uncover and approach deeply held core beliefs developed throughout the lifespan.

I offer individual therapy for adolescents, adults and family therapy. My passion has always been treating eating disorders and the underlying causes such as depression and anxiety. Another clinical passion and area of focus has been assisting women and mothers with identity development and navigating life transitions.

Lately have you looked in the mirror and not recognized the person staring back? Perhaps, found yourself doing things that are out of character like yelling at your child(ren), significant other, or friends/other loved ones, or doing hurtful things to yourself or others and yet you don’t understand why. You tell yourself: (1) I am fine -after taking/responding to that 911/emergency call; (2) Yes, what I saw while deployed was horrible, but that is the nature of what we do and I am home now so everything is ok; or (3) Surely that loss or experience 10 years ago has no effect on me now, it’s in the past..... And yet here you are

Self-care and the health of our minds is incredibly important, especially when it doesn't feel like there is a path forward. During moments of uncertainty, additional anxieties, fears, and doubts can be brought to light. Sometimes the skills we utilized are no longer enough, and we require additional help navigating our situation. Healing and understanding comes from within, by forming a connection to your body and your self.

Do you long to have more connection and security in your relationships? Are you struggling to work through feelings of worthlessness or shame? Does life feel chaotic and out of balance? I offer both relationship and shadow work coaching for anyone seeking to rediscover the lost parts of themselves. Carl Jung believed we disown and bury the most treasured parts of ourselves on the path of development. This split from our authenticity is the root cause of symptoms such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and unhealthy relationships.

Mental health is for everyone - seriously! I work with individuals with a variety of mental health diagnosis and concerns. Some people come to counseling to process a traumatic event, some come to talk about the stress they're experiencing at their job, and some come just to learn about why they haven't been feeling their best emotionally lately. If you feel like you could even pinpoint exactly why you feel how you do, but it just doesn't make it better, I'm the counselor for you. I don't just help you figure out why, I help you DO something with what you learn about yourself so you can move past any barriers you have.

You've learned ways to get by, even if they aren't the healthiest options, and you pull it off well, maybe even perfectly. But along the way, you've picked up burdens you can't seem to set down. You're overwhelmed, and some days you aren't sure who you are anymore. There is a small part of you that wonders if maybe there's something more for your life, or if maybe there's a way forward that doesn't feel so hard. I believe healing happens when we are reoriented toward what is truly good for us and entertain the possibility of more of it.

How can I find a therapist in Kirkwood?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
