In Person Therapists in Lake Waukomis, MO
I prioritize in-person sessions and can offer virtual treatment to accommodate logistical needs.
I enjoy helping clients look inward, understand their role in the challenges they face, and identify innate strengths they can use to overcome them. We generally make peace with what we understand, so when unease seems to persist in our lives, it can often point to something internal that we have yet to acknowledge. My aim is simply to help others identify and integrate these parts of themselves into their lives.

I am passionate about helping people who struggle with anxiety, addiction, developmental trauma, depression, and relational issues. At the core of my approach is an attitude of warmth, acceptance, and faith in my client's innate capacity for healing and transformation. Often people come to therapy with a sense of disempowerment. The impulse to reach out in hope of finding a caring, safe, or 'true other' shows your innate wisdom and strength. We are all in desperate need of help and connection. The hope is that we can do more than just survive.

My office is open and ready for you to come in person to better serve you.
If you are looking for an “out of the box” type of counselor, then I would love to work with you. Therapy is about meeting you where you are and if that means you need a listening ear as you process something deep, someone to help guide you to the best possible you, or someone who is going to hold you accountable, than look no further, because that is exactly what you will get. Therapy is not one size fits all, so I use many different modalities of therapy to help you navigate life’s ebbs and flows.

Sessions are held in-person or virtually.
In client-centered Music Therapy, the client informs the interaction. Music Therapy works to address what we want to change by combining speech, movement, and body based interventions. This method of treatment works to quickly address the reflexive parts of the brain (where our survival instincts and fight or flight responses live). As a therapist, I'm there to provide support, expertise, and guidance! This type of therapeutic interaction can be especially accessible if talking about an event or identifying something specific is challenging.

I hold two fundamental beliefs about all humans; firstly, I believe every individual is infinitely unique. Secondly, I think every person can grow and be better than they are today. I believe my job is to help you find the tools and resources you need to continue growing. My favorite aspect of therapy is that it can be tailored to individuals' authentic thoughts, feelings, experiences, needs, or desires.

I offer in-person and telehealth appointments.
I work with individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and a variety of relationship issues.
Every human has a unique story filled with experiences, life events, and traumas that shape who we are. Life, at times, can be challenging and overwhelming, and it’s okay not to be OK. An empathic and curious ear helps provide an understanding of how your experiences have shaped you and how to learn to progress by knowing the most authentic version of yourself.

I offer in-person sessions as well as telehealth.
Strong relationships are built on a foundation of love, empathy, understanding, and unwavering support. Sometimes a relationship is lacking in one or more of these components and needs some additional guidance. Sometimes the relationship that needs the most healing is the relationship you have with yourself. I provide a safe space for open dialogue and healing. My therapy space is a refuge where you can explore your fears and concerns without judgment. I will be with you as you embark on your journey towards healing, growth and feelings of peace.

Any St. Louis rehabilitation center can provide treatment; MIA provides the difference. There are many drug rehab centers, but few of these rehab centers compare to Midwest Institute for Addiction's programs. This differentiation goes beyond our comprehensive, individualized, and evidence based treatment model and focuses on the quality of services that we offer. There is a lack of separation in the minds of professional service providers when considering the difference between a product offered and the service that coincides with that product. The MIA difference is the ability to offer quality services that coincide with our quality treatment.

I am primarily doing in person therapy.
We are not meant to live life alone but rather deeply involved in relationships. Some of these relationships are highly successful, while others have come with great loss, significant struggle or just the every day difficulty of learning to live and enjoy life with another person. I believe in the value of working through personal problems in the context of building stronger relationships. I will help you work through this on a personal level or with whomever you are needing to have a restored relationship with.
