LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Saint Louis, MO
I help women+ entrepreneurs and creatives confront imposter syndrome, navigate perfectionism, and step into their dream lives. As a multi-business entrepreneur within mental health, self-development, and the arts, I understand what it's like to feel called towards your passion but to have both internal and external voices reminding you of the risks of leaving your comfort zone. However, I also understand just how rewarding it can be to take the leap, invest in yourself, and pursue your passion.

I know what it’s like to feel helpless, alone, frustrated, confused, unseen, unheard, and unsupported. Also, I know that it’s possible to transform these experiences into something deeply meaningful. The path to this transformation involves time and intention, and the courage to look deeply at oneself. As we learn to understand and relinquish old patterns, new ways of being give forth new hope and possibility. And not just for ourselves, but for everyone around us. What a wondrous experience!

Waitlist for new clients
Waitlisting clients as of July 2024. - If you are like me, you have procrastinated this decision to seek counseling for some time, and you are steadily nearing desperation. Entering into therapy is difficult - it is important to find a therapist with whom you connect. I provide a free phone consultation and a half price first session, so we can decide if we are a good fit. I work best with clients who are motivated to begin the explorative process towards healing. I seek to honor the vulnerability required to make changes in one's life by listening without judgment and growing to understand the individual's experiences.

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.

I believe counseling is most powerful when it sensitizes you to what’s happening in your mind and heart and helps you meet whatever you find with compassion. Feeling your feels (literally) is the first step to making sense of them. Within that confusion is the possibility of deeper self-knowledge and freedom. I find it helpful to use yoga and mindfulness practices to keep you grounded as you explore big emotions, and I work with both individuals and couples who are processing loss, trauma, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship issues.

Life is challenging. So many ebbs and flows. I recognize that and would love to help you on your journey. We can all use a little support from time to time. Relationships can be difficult to manage. Setting (and keeping) boundaries at home, at work, or within relationships is hard work. If you or your child are looking for support with issues such as anxiety, depression, bullying, domestic violence, abuse, communication, or trauma, I'd love to help. I use creative therapy techniques in-person and via tele-health to support you or your child.

If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious, therapy can help you uncover lasting relief and deeper self-understanding.

Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more confident, connected, and in control of your life. Things can be different—and I’d be honored to support you on that journey.
