Substance Use Therapists in Saint Louis, MO
You are the hero or heroine of your own life’s story, but it doesn’t feel that way right now. Storms of anxiety, shame, depression, guilt, or addiction rage against you. Dragons of grief, trauma, anger, fear, or loneliness seek to pull you down. You fight back, but the struggle leaves you weary. Stuck. Success is difficult, and you are not the positive influence in the world you hoped to be. You recognize patterns leading to the same unwanted results. You’ve done your best to understand, but moving forward seems too difficult. Maybe you begin to doubt who you really are, believing that you are much less than heroic.

Trauma, OCD, and anxiety rob us of the ability to fully enjoy our lives and express our authenticity. Both trauma & OCD require specialized therapeutic approaches to help individuals avoid staying stuck or, in some cases, experiencing symptom escalation. This is where my expertise comes in. With 15 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my practice to helping clients reconnect with themselves after trauma, those struggling with rumination, obsessions, compulsions & body-focused repetitive behaviors. I specialize in working with women, queer & trans folks, mental health professionals, people in recovery and those on fertility journeys.

I have experience with a wide range of diagnoses and specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use.
I understand that emotions and feelings can be difficult and uncomfortable to discuss, and they aren't always easy to experience. You might be feeling anxious, sad, lost, or unsure of your emotions. You give so much of yourself to others that you feel depleted. My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and tailored to your needs. Together, we will identify and process difficult feelings and experiences, and develop skills and strategies to grow, heal, and feel better. Sometimes, we may even create strategies to deal with others in your life who won't go to therapy.

As a first responder or veteran, your life is defined by being there for everyone else on their worst days. But what happens when the calls start staying with you? When the hypervigilance doesn’t turn off just because you’ve clocked out? Or when the "dark humor" and "toughing it out" aren't enough to keep the intrusive memories at bay? You might find yourself avoiding certain places, feeling constantly on edge, or struggling with a temper that isn’t "you." Maybe you’re worried that if you speak up, people will think you can’t handle the job.
