There are several reasons why people feel stuck in their life that prevent them from growing into the person they want to become... A past that continues to return to the present, patterns that are unbreakable alone, major life changes, uncontrollable circumstances, feelings of shame - the list goes on. I love working with clients looking to improve themselves, their relationships, and learn to face their struggles.

Do you want things to feel different, but don’t know how to get there? I work with individuals, children, and families who are navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, behavioral challenges, and difficult life transitions. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that aren’t working, or unsure how to manage stress related to relationships, school, family conflict, or past experiences. My ideal clients are those who are ready for support—even if they don’t have everything figured out yet—and want a space where they feel heard, understood, and not judged.

There are reasons why you feel the way you do and together, we can discover what is keeping you feeling "stuck."

As a woman of color and a therapist, I understand the unique pressures, expectations, and barriers that come with navigating both personal and professional spaces. I work with women who have carried the weight of childhood trauma, unhealthy relationship patterns, workplace discrimination, anxiety, and depression for far too long.

I accept Aetna, Optum, UHC, UMR, Ambetter, and Medicaid, and I also offer self-pay options.
My ideal client is someone who feels stuck — anxious, overwhelmed, or shaped by past experiences that still show up in daily life. They want real change, not just insight, but can’t seem to get their effort and results to line up. They’re motivated, self-aware, and ready to do the work — they just need the right support, tools, and perspective to finally move forward.

An IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) offers more care than weekly therapy, but less than inpatient hospitalization. We work with teens struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, or struggling to cope with life stressors who need more support than weekly therapy.
Our 6 week program is designed to help both caregivers and teenagers develop skills to effectively manage life's challenges, communicate better, and build self-confidence for more successful life experiences. We've designed our program to take place outside of school hours to minimize absences and promote overall well-being.

Are you looking for a safe place to explore the challenges that come up in life? A place to prioritize you? Starting therapy can often time feel scary. I hope to provide a place where people can feel they can talk about the stressful, overwhelming, or disappointing things in their lives. A place where you will be comfortable to cry, laugh, learn, and grow.

It is hard to reach out to someone to ask for help especially when you are having to deal with something so personal. Even if that step felt small, I just want to say you're worth it & great job on starting to consider getting help. If you are dealing with a past trauma, anxiety, depression, sexuality, or spirituality then I would love to be able to help. I love working with individuals to help you overcome the challenges you are having & build a life worth living, whatever that is for you. I pride myself on creating a judgement free space with validation, helping you process, & learn what you need to help you grow.

I accept Medicaid (MO Healthnet, Home State Health, Healthy Blue, UHC Community Plan), Ambetter, Cigna, and United Healthcare.
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.

Many people come to therapy unsure of what it’s supposed to look like. To me, therapy begins with creating a space where you don’t have to perform. Life can sometimes feel like a costume party, where the masks we wear help us cope but also distance us from ourselves. I aim to meet clients as fellow human beings, not problems to be solved. I believe meaningful change begins when vulnerability is met with honesty and compassion.
