Therapists in Saint Louis, MO
As a psychologist, my approach is based on the simple premise that change and growth through psychotherapy depends upon a trusting relationship between client and psychotherapist. As that trust deepens, so does one's ability to articulate what has not yet been been articulated, to make connections that have not yet been made, and to be aware of greater subtleties in one's internal emotional states. This newly felt understanding, in an emotionally sensitive and supportive context is what leads to change. In this way, change may be seen to occur as an outcome of emotional growth, rather than primarily effortful behavior.

Today is a new day! Having someone to listen without judgment is a tremendous gift. It can remove the loneliness and despair that can happen when life gets to be too much to bear. Perhaps you've had therapy before but something's still missing. You've done everything you can think of or that your previous therapist told you. You are dedicated to your personal growth. You engage in regular practices and are committed to do whatever it takes to be your best self. Despite some real progress, the deeper relief you've been looking for hasn't occurred just yet.

Are you the one that everyone relies on, but deep down, you're running on empty? Perhaps you're managing a flood of responsibilities while silently struggling with anxiety, depression, or grief. Or maybe your relationships are leaving you feeling disconnected or unseen.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Therapy offers a space that’s just for you: a place to breathe, unpack what’s heavy, and begin to feel more grounded, understood, and empowered.

At Mind Body Integration, I offer Somatic Psychotherapy and Somatic EMDR to individuals, groups, and organizations. I work with what western medicine labels as anxiety, depression, ptsd/c-ptsd, etc, when in actuality, the underlying issue is nervous system dysregulation due to emotion suppression and inflammation. Addressing the root issue will facilitate healing your entire system to achieve mind-body connection, resulting in more moments of peace and calm overall. Deep inner work can bring more clarity and resolution to your dilemmas, and increased presence so you can access the truth that already exists inside of you.

It's plain to see that world bombards us with ample reason to live in fear, doubt, and negativity. Yet, we all possess the ability to change, and to make good on the hope toward a rich, full, and confident life. We can't erase our pasts, but we can work together in the present to find new ways of thinking and being that produce the lives we want.

6-8 sessions may be all you need. Do you often think/say to yourself: “I should know this?” “I’ve read all the self-help books.” “I’ve done therapy in the past.” "I was doing great." “What are you going to tell me that I don’t already know?” or "I have never done this before" I get it. I work with negative, self-limiting beliefs and past traumas that may be holding you back.

I work with adults and couples of all ages, identities and backgrounds.
