Do you find yourself constantly second-guessing yourself, replaying conversations, or wondering if you're making the "right" decision? Maybe you're stuck in a cycle of overthinking, reassurance-seeking, or worrying about what could go wrong. You may be navigating a major life transition, questioning who you are becoming, or feeling overwhelmed by relationship fears and uncertainty about the future. When you're carrying so much mental and emotional noise, it can be difficult to trust yourself and move forward with confidence.

I help high-functioning individuals heal from anxiety, perfectionism, and codependency so they can stop people-pleasing, set boundaries without guilt, and trust themselves again. I also specialize in treating the long-term effects of narcissistic abuse. My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and empowering. I offer both in-person therapy in St. Louis and virtual sessions across 47 states via PSYPACT. Clients often tell me they feel truly seen and understood, sometimes for the first time in therapy. If you're tired of overthinking, second-guessing, and carrying everyone else's emotional load, you're in the right place.

Welcome! Reaching out for help is the first, and often hardest, step to a happier, healthier life. Regardless of what brings you to counseling, finding a therapist that is a good match is essential to the process. I feel I work best with ages 13 to adult who are wanting to address concerns related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem/ identity, and those in the LGBTQ+ community. Each session is a place to address both successes and struggles, get feedback, and learn new skills to put into action. You control the direction of therapy and using skills between sessions to improve your own outcome.

Everyone has a story to tell. Sometimes it is filled with dark twists and turns, shadows, and the unexpected. Other times it is full of light, gentle breezes, and warmth. Stories are often full of both and it can be daunting to try and revisit some of the harder chapters alone. I offer a place of solace for your stories. A place where we can open and read each chapter of it together, learn from them, and gather tools to face the battles ahead. A place where we can challenge the things that still haunt us from these stories, and then put them on a shelf, a reminder of where you came from and what you’ve overcome.

I utilize child centered play therapy for kids and utilize pieces of ACT and DBT for adults.
I'm Eugenie, a queer Korean licensed clinical social worker working with both kids (3 and up) and adults. I enjoy working with kids who are struggling with anxiety and behavioral issues over separation, divorce, immigration, and/or loss, as well as adult clients who have been carrying generational pain for so long, manifesting in OCD, anxiety, and/or cPTSD. I find a lot of joy in working with LGBTQ+ and immigrant clients and feel that even with shared identities, no two experience is the same. Striving to be nonjudgmental and providing unique, individualized care are important to me as a therapist.

A typical plan blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT) and mindfulness to work with your feelings (not against them), clarify your values, and take small, doable steps.
Are you feeling confused, stuck, or overwhelmed? Maybe you've been turning the problem every way you can but can't figure out a way out. I get it. It’s tough when things aren’t moving forward, and sometimes it feels like you'll never get out of the spot you are in.

What would it be like to feel accepted as you are? To show up authentically and know that was enough? You don’t need to be strong, happy, or put-together. We can embrace your beautiful mess and find your story of triumph together. It will take effort and may be tough at times, but I will go with you! I have experience working with adolescents, and adults on a wide variety of issues, such as trauma, depression and low self esteem.
