I am co-owner of Psychological services of St. Louis, LLC, where I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and groups, and conduct psychological assessments. I have helped people manage a wide variety of problems including anxiety and mood disorders, substance use issues, adjustment difficulties, social/relationship problems, self-esteem and assertiveness issues, anger and impulsivity, career and life direction issues, sexual orientation and gender-related problems, unusual experiences, and existential concerns. I believe strongly in taking the time to know and understand my clients so we can collaboratively find a treatment approach that fits and is as effective as possible.

Examining and shifting age-old patterns can be an overwhelming endeavor to take on alone. My role is to offer you a compassionate, authentic, and non-judgmental space as you embark on that journey. I support folks to cultivate joy, ease, and meaning in their lives, even when doing so feels impossible. This might include strengthening executive functioning skills, exploring gender or sexual identity, or learning self-validation in an often invalidating world. Together, we'll identify effective ways to move through life's most difficult moments - the past can't be changed, but we can transform how it influences our present and future.
