Career Counseling Therapists in Saint Louis, MO
Are you feeling stuck or uncertain about the next steps in your life or career? Does fear of risk or performance paralysis hold you back? Do you struggle with confidence or find yourself avoiding social situations? Having personally experienced profound life changes—like relocating to St. Louis after Hurricane Katrina and navigating the upheavals of the Covid pandemic—I understand the challenges of starting over, finding stability, and seeking support during times of upheaval. The cumulative grief and trauma from such events highlight the importance of specialized care in the healing process.

Some of these include: mental health, faith journey, marital issues, special needs children, caring for parents, terminal illness, grief, career transitions, sexuality, identity crisis.
About a decade ago I attended a conference at the Omega Institute and was reawakened to the immense suffering in the world and I realized there was no more time to waste. I needed to change careers in order to be of service. All of my life I wanted to be a healer and pursued a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health. My approach is mindful, practical, respectful and always hopeful. I believe each of us holds the key to our own healing within our highest sense of Self. My role is to help support that discovery process through thoughtful exploration, creativity and a little humor.

Perhaps you are in a relationship, family, or job where you feel like everything is always your fault. You're made to feel like you're not good enough; that you have to try harder despite the other person never taking accountability. You have difficulty expressing yourself for fear of the other person throwing it back in your face. Perhaps this mounting pressure from those relationships has made you give up, anxious, or just feel stuck. You don't know who you are anymore—you’ve been told how to think and feel. You may feel like you’re in a fog or just don’t know how to get back on track to the way things used to be.
