Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Saint Louis, MO
I use CBT, ACT, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches.
Therapy doesn't have to feel cold, clinical, or like you're talking to someone who has life all figured out. Many of the people I work with are carrying a lot - anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, depression, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel safe enough to be honest about what's really going on. My style is collaborative, down to earth, and practical. Together we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and build skills that help life feel more manageable, meaningful, and connected.

Have you ever wanted to begin counseling, but didn’t feel like your problems were big enough? Or, have you ever ghosted a therapist because you didn’t feel helped? Me too. So, we go it alone - doing everything to change ourselves and our relationships. We continuously find ourselves stuck between what we want to do and what we “should” do. This dilemma often shows up as anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. That’s why it’s my mission to provide approachable counseling that works.

Disclaimer: I am currently booked for new clients through the month of June. First available appts are in July 2026.
Hi there! Starting therapy can feel like a big step, AND it's one of the most meaningful investments you make in yourself. I see therapy as a place where you can slow down, sort through what’s been heavy or confusing, and begin making sense of your experiences. Together, we can explore patterns, build practical skills, and create space for growth, healing, and change.

We'll tinker together on practices to fit you, like Gendlin's Focusing, somatic EMDR, IFS parts work, dreamwork, active imagination, art, breath, ACT, brief meditations, and existential questions
In hard times, great transformations are possible, but we can get lost or stuck. It’s painful when our usual approaches fail. We get caught in habits of stress, intergenerational tangles, or shoulds that misshape us. I help people see and get more free. I help you connect w/ your core wellbeing so you can wisely revise your life. You may be grieving death or other loss. You may be ready to face old pain. You may be grappling w/ depression, burnout, nightmares, illness or grief. Or blocks in your art, work, and purpose. All are painful yet potent portals that can widen our minds and deepen our days in surprising, enlivening ways.

Accepting New Clients - No Waitlist!
Does this sound familiar?
Your stomach twists into knots. There’s a lump in your throat. You want to speak your truth, to express your needs and desires, but it feels like your voice has vanished. The words are screaming inside, but nothing comes out.
Your body is a ball of physical sensations—hot, cold, nauseous. Tension is weighing on your shoulders. Insecurity and self-doubt drape over you like an unshakable, suffocating blanket.

I will use a mixture of systems theory, IFS, narrative therapy and ACT; but most importantly the work we do is collaborative with you leading the way.
My ideal client is someone ready to make a change that propels them to their next chapter in life. I believe that my clients most value my ability to remain optimistic while keeping a firm grasp on reality. We all want to reach the highest levels of self actualization, but if your anxiety, depression, or ADHD are making it hard to complete daily living tasks that may feel out of reach. My diverse experience helps me accurately empathize with a variety of life issues. I have previously worked as a primary grade teacher, residential eating disorder treatment, and assisting a psychiatrist specializing in ADHD treatment for adults.

I work with adults who are struggling with making changes in their lives. They may be stuck in habits, addictions, depression, anxiety, unhealthy relationships or unfulfilling work situations. The common thread is they are not living the life they want but rather are living from their limited programming and conditioning. Through understanding human psychological functioning and the deeper spiritual nature of being human, I help clients come back to their innate well-being. Understanding the role that thought plays in creating the reality you see makes the difference between being at the mercy of reactive thinking
