Attachment-based Therapists in Saint Charles, MO

I believe people are more than their diagnosis. Yes, a diagnosis is a tool but it is not the big picture. I come from a place of curiosity and wonder, wanting to know my clients on a deeper level so that I can help them navigate this world. For example, PTSD is a big diagnosis that is thrown around; yet, it doesn't paint the full picture. It doesn't reflect someone's experiences, triggers, how this is impacting their relationships, family history, the strengths they possess etc. Adolescents are my passion however, I also enjoy and work closely with families and adults.

I am a Licensed Marital & Family Therapist (MFT) and an approved supervisor through the State of Missouri Board of MFT and the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. My clinical experience is with individuals, couples, and families related to sexuality, communication, conflict, and parent-child relationships with queer & trans youth. I utilize emotionally-focused, attachment-based , and playful interventions for unsticking the stuck parts of life. I have extensive couple & sexuality training and experience as a certified Sex Therapist through the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists.

8/1/22 I'm currently accepting new clients! I work primarily with children, adolescents, and young adults who are learning about themselves and what their place in the world is. I aim to help clients identify their needs and find their voice to advocate for themselves in ways that work best for them. Sometimes that means figuring out how the latest Stranger Things fits their life or how their favorite video game can be used to help them. I also assist adults in identifying and managing their emotions and roles in relationships. Overall, I work collaboratively with clients to help them share themselves and their views with the world.
