I employ an eclectic therapeutic approach informed by mindfulness, somatic and CBT approaches but grounded in relational psychodynamic theory which posits that 1) there is much occurring beneath the surface of our lives that can rise to conscious awareness and 2) that trauma occurs in relationships and can heal, with care and attention, in conscious relationships.
You may identify as "highly sensitive" or feel "misunderstood" by those around you. You may not have a clear idea how to address the distress in your life. You may feel confused or exasperated by clashes you are experiencing in relationships. Maybe you are facing a life transition, including but not limited to: a move to a new place, a new or worsening illness, work problems, spiritual questioning, transitions into the workforce or retirement. Regardless, painful feelings such as longing, numbness or despair make it hard to step into your life. You are ready and open for a new collaboration in this "laboratory" of therapy. Welcome.

I also use EMDR, elements of ACT and other mindfulness-based approaches, and Jungian Psychology.
You're living a different story. Maybe you always knew you would, because something about you has always been unusual. Maybe you planned to travel a well known path, but something happened, and you can't just go back to the way things were. Maybe you're burned out because something that was working for a long time just doesn't work anymore. Maybe you feel anxiety or depression or trauma is holding you back. You want to talk to someone comfortable with unconventional terrain, someone who doesn't insist that returning to the paved road is the answer but joins with you in the difficult work of mapping out new territory together.

I also offer art as therapy techniques to use for mindfulness, coping skills and gaining insight outside of sessions.
I have a diverse background in the evidence-based treatment of persons with trauma, eating disorders, co-occurring disorders, anxiety, mood disorders, LGBTQIA+ challenges and gender dysphoria. For clients with PTSD and other trauma, common goals include symptom reduction, coping, exploration and healing. With eating disorders, my practice is most appropriate for clients who have attended a higher level of care (e.g. Intensive Outpatient, Residential, PHP) and are looking to confront issues underlying the eating disorder. Clients seeking gender affirming care will find support with expression, transition, relationships and more.

My approach to therapy leans heavily on the power of mindfulness and honesty to promote healing in an environment of safety.
Life is hard enough without having to go through it alone. No matter who you are or where you are from, my greatest wish for you at the outset is for you to recognize that we all have complications — we could all benefit from growth and healing. As we embrace these realities, we also learn to embrace all of the parts of ourselves, including those that most need our attention and affection. Make no mistake, the path to growth can be difficult. It involves equal parts frustration and exploration, and even a good dose of humor! But when we face ourselves, we may also find that the outcome is beautiful, rewarding, and even enchanting.

I used DBT and CBT for mindfulness and thought, feeling, behavior chain.

I utilize a variety of treatment approaches, including equine-assisted EMDR, somatics, and mindfulness.
Now accepting new clients in Missouri and Illinois! I help people with complex trauma navigate the world with less overwhelm. Reliving painful experiences and beliefs about ourselves on a loop makes relationships with ourselves and others difficult. I work with clients on resourcing their nervous system using a bottom-up approach in order to better integrate these painful experiences and shift from reliving to revisiting. I have worked with a range of diagnoses, though have advanced training in working with complex trauma, dissociation, and anxiety, in addition to equine-assisted psychotherapy.

My approach is Jungian influenced, with cognitive and mindfulness based therapy.
Self discovery is the bridge to contentment and purpose in life. In a supportive and accepting environment, you will be able to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that can be adapted toward a more positive. Many people are feeling anxiety, depression or confusion about their next steps; or you may be experiencing grief or loss. Together we'll identify your strengths, discover insights, and gain clarity to move toward a greater sense of wellbeing. I empower clients to achieve your goals and follow your heart toward joy. Your past does not have to dictate the future.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
