Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in Kirkwood, MO

Unbeknownst to many, the stigma associated with "therapy" is lifting. Society is waking up and realizing overall health needs to be a non-negotiable. My passion lies in supporting & educating clients on brain/nervous system health; increased awareness on thought/behavioral patterns that exacerbate overall stress, feelings of unworthiness, and unhealthy cycles. My ideal client is ready to do some hard work and be challenged, curious and brave enough to look inside, get honest with self, work on vulnerability, and face their fears. Together, we will identify and dig out the roots that no longer serve them and plant new seeds.

Do you feel stressed, exhausted, or overwhelmed? Do you feel uncertain of the future? Together we can develop a therapeutic relationship to meet your needs. I will assist you in managing transitions in your life in a positive way. I have experience helping people going through a variety of issues relating to health, relationships, work, and life transitions. If you choose to work with me, I will assist you in gaining self-awareness, and the self-confidence you deserve. I strive to create a safe space, where you can reconnect with yourself, and to the relationships that mean the most to you.

Are you experiencing distress in your marriage or relationship? Is your family life stressful? Do you need to find greater balance or deal with a major life transition? I am a licensed psychologist and licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of counseling experience. My specialties include: couples counseling, adolescent issues, depression, anxiety, and life coaching. I am a creative, compassionate counselor who understands the difficult task of balancing personal needs, family, and career.

Hi there, I am here to help you. I work with individuals, couples, and families with struggles ranging from current life issues, relationship struggles, and issues that have been a lifelong battle. Clients often come to me because they have hit the lowest point and have never felt more alone, even after trying therapy countless times before. Many clients have left counseling finding resolution and a drive to live their life to the fullest. My clients have expressed finding healing, feeling equipped to manage life, and having healthier relationships and connections with others that they previously thought weren't possible.

We know how important self-care and the health of our minds can be, especially in the season in which we have found ourselves. During these moments of uncertainty, new concerns are brought to light and create additional anxieties, fears, and doubts. Sometimes the skills we utilized are no longer enough, and we require additional help navigating our situation. By working together, we can help establish new ways for you to manage the world around you. Sessions can be in-person with precautions or tele-therapy to continue to improve mental and physical health when there isn’t a clear path through.

Welcome! My definition of therapy is simple: it is the decision to live consciously and with intention. By choosing therapy you are choosing to LEVEL-UP your life!

Life is unpredictable. It’s full of twists, turns, and bumps along the way. A lot of the time, we acclimate and move right along, but other times, it throws us completely off course. Serious and chronic illness, difficult life transitions, divorce, or the loss of a loved one – it can leave us feeling depressed, anxious, angry, confused, isolated, and lost. When the unthinkable happens to you, how do you get to a place where you feel safe, content, and at peace? Whatever your therapeutic goals may be, you deserve to feel heard, understood, and validated.

You are going through life surviving but aren't really thriving. On the outside, people might not even notice anything is wrong. Inside, you're second guessing yourself & struggling to find balance. It's difficult to feel like you know who you are or how to be yourself around other people. These feelings may be affecting your relationships, school, parenting or career. Through our work together I will help you engage more fully in the present, & work towards the best version of yourself. It is hard work but can be done with gentle guidance. I'm trained in EMDR, CBT and EFT.

Every new day presents the opportunity to begin a new chapter. What is already written on our pages may shape us, but it does not define us. Every obstacle, experience, and transition we encounter brings opportunity for joy, growth, meaning, and connection. Therapy provides support to reflect on where you have been, where you are now, and where you want to be. New Chapter offers therapy services that fit your life and comfort level.

I serve individuals, couples, and families seeking professional therapeutic services. My areas of expertise include relationship and family dynamic concerns, grief and loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, infertility counseling, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who offers mental health therapy to a variety of clients, each with their own specific needs and goals. Based on my own personal experience and years in the mental health and substance use field, I believe therapy can help each of us greatly if we are willing to do the work. My mission is to provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment for you to work through challenges and live a healthy and full life. My job as a therapist is not to "fix" anyone, but rather to help and guide you through life's ups and downs. I enjoy working with teens, adults, couples, and families!
