Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Saint Louis, MO
If you are anything like me, you know that life is not only hard, it can sometimes feel impossible. Fortunately, counseling can be both a refuge and a catalyst for life-changing growth. I believe there’s something mysterious within all of us that already knows what we need and how to get there - sometimes we just need support in figuring out what’s getting in the way. There is no world where I am an expert on you, but I am an expert in feeling pretty miserable. And it’s from my own struggles as a complex human that I am able to be a passionately knowledgeable and creative resource for you.

You've tried OCD therapy (maybe even exposure therapy) but you're still spending hours in your head going over the same thoughts, trying to get to certainty that never quite comes. You're not struggling because you're weak. You might be struggling because you haven't found skills that fit the way you think.
I offer a 30-Day I-CBT Immersive program (virtual or in person) designed for people who are ready to stop managing OCD and start learning to trust themselves again. You'll build the skills to resolve doubt at its source, so you're not white-knuckling through uncertainty but actually working with the unknown differently.

I've specialized in treating children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety and related disorders including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (Trichotillomania and Skin Picking Disorder), Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Separation Anxiety, and Selective Mutism for the past 17 years. As the owner of The Center for Mindfulness & CBT, I've hired and trained other anxiety/OCD/BFRB experts, and continue to provide supervision and consultation, so I work to connect those I can't see to others in the practice.

I work with individuals, couples, families, and First Responders using a trauma-informed and collaborative approach. My focus is not simply on symptoms, but on understanding your story and the experiences that shaped you.

For clients who desire it, I am comfortable incorporating faith and spiritual exploration into the counseling process. I strive to create an environment where clients feel empowered, respected, and actively involved in their care while gaining practical tools to navigate life’s challenges.

I specialize in working with first responders, veterans, and others in high-stress roles.

My integrative approach includes parts work, somatics, and ACT.
The systems we live within (capitalism, colonialism, anti-fatness, etc.) and our attachment experiences can leave us feeling disconnected from others, our bodies, our values, and our authentic selves. I offer a compassionate space to explore the ways these systems and experiences have impacted you. Together, we'll develop the insight, resources, and skills to make your life and relationships more manageable and meaningful.

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.

Hey diva! Do you want to be hot?
Hotness is a state of mind. It's not plagued by self-doubt or limiting beliefs, nor does it shrink to become palatable. It’s regulated, self-assured, and magnetic – the full, loud version of you that's been waiting.
That's what we're building here.
Maybe you've tried therapy before and it didn't quite fit. Maybe the goals felt like someone else's. Maybe you kept hearing "grounded" and "connected to source" and thought — dude what does that even mean? Because SAME. I wanted to feel like myself… but hotter. So I became the therapist I needed – both deeply sincere and deeply unserious.

How’s your stress level? If you’re anything like the millions of other people adjusting to significant changes over the last few years, it’s likely your stress has crept up over this time.

I understand that emotions and feelings can be difficult and uncomfortable to discuss, and they aren't always easy to experience. You might be feeling anxious, sad, lost, or unsure of your emotions.

Together, we will identify and process difficult feelings and experiences, and develop skills and strategies to grow, heal, and feel better. Sometimes, we may even create strategies to deal with others in your life who won't go to therapy.
