Therapists in Saint Louis, MO

Thank you for your interest. My ideal client is motivated for change and open to exploring more about themselves. I use a more direct style of counseling that heavily incorporates aspects of choice theory, reality therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to help my adult clients make real changes in their lives. For children, I utilize evidence-based directive and non-directive play therapy approaches, depending upon the child's unique psychosocial needs.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering brief and extended therapy to individuals, couples, families, and groups. My mission as a therapist is to promote healing, positive ways of balancing, and joy in daily living. I cherish the opportunity to learn, teach, support, and challenge through my client's greatest hardships and most brilliant moments. My style is interactive and supportive, yet challenging. I adapt a variety of therapeutic approaches that focus on my clients' daily interactions. Our work together will help you Create a Life YOU Love! Positive By Design.

I offer a broad and deep set of trainings which in a very practical way help people grow: emotionally, behaviorally, spiritually. Potential clients will find evidence based methods, flexibility of approach, and a willingness to listen collaboratively. The goals that we develop together will feel sensible, clear, doable, and exciting. This is a very active therapy. From all my learnings I have developed my own form of psychotherapy

Life is complicated and difficult. I believe that sooner or later we all are confronted with some aspect of living that is just too overwhelming to handle alone. Someone we love dies, or gets sick, money gets tight, relationships are strained, children have problems, and any number of symptoms start to emerge. At these times, we may be prone to despair and long for a deeper sense of satisfaction and desire more meaning for our lives. It is my hope that you will be courageous and ask for help now.

Our patients are individuals, couples or groups who have been struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorder and other behavioral challenges that have made ordinary day to day functioning impossible or extremely difficult. Through evidence-based clinical mental health therapy that includes EMDR, CBT, DBT, and SFBT, we assess, and diagnose individuals, couples and groups providing evidenced-based treatment plans.

I am a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider and currently provide video and teletherapy counseling. With 20+ years experience in the counseling field, I have witnessed couples, adults, and adolescents achieve renewed hope and happiness. Personal change happens through short-term therapy and may last a lifetime. If you are tired of working hard and achieving little or no success, it's probably time to receive professional help. My specialty areas include marriage counseling, anxiety, depression, family counseling, sexual addiction and pornography, and spiritual issues.

I have been in private practice for over 35 years. I meet the client where they are at and more importantly assist them in where they want to be. I strive to help in the most professional and respectful way and value each and every opportunity to be in the lives of those who want to live the life they want. I believe there is nothing wrong with the individual but they are often striving for balance and harmony in their lives. All my clients want the same thing-Love and acceptance.

Life comes with challenges. We were not made to handle our challenges alone. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and theologically educated Christian, my extensive training, experience, and faith offers you help and hope in your time of need.
