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.

Are you and your partner feeling more and more like roommates? What happened? We used to have such a great connection and so much passion for each other. Now we feel like we are just going through the motions, trying to get through our days and survive. If this is what your relationship looks like right now, I’d love to work with you to help figure out where you lost each other. Where the communication got stuck and almost non-existent. Our work together will bring back that closeness and connection that you miss. That safe space where you can be yourself and know that your partner is there for you and has your back no matter what.

I utilize a warm, person-centered, empathetic, and motivational style of communication which assists my clients in feeling heard, understood, and supported in their endeavors.

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.
