Therapists in Wentzville, MO

I provide counseling services for families and individuals of all ages, from very young children to teens and adults. I have experience helping children, adolescents, adults and families cope with anxiety, depression, ADHD, divorce, grief, and social challenges.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and finding it hard to navigate the challenges coming at you? Are you struggling with a mix of emotions, such as fear, frustration, sadness, anger, etc? Currently accepting new clients. Connect with someone you can be real with. I am passionate about helping people navigate their emotions and gain healing and coping skills to create progress in their lives. Change is difficult and it can be especially hard when anxiety, depression, life challenges, and relationship wounds are involved. Let’s get to work on the things that are getting in the way of feeling good about yourself and your life.

Hello! How are you doing today? Life has started to become pretty overwhelming these days. It feels like we are always running from one thing to the next, maybe even feeling tense or restless but unsure why. We struggle to manage our emotions, or even know who we truly are or what we are wanting out of this life. I can help you navigate and learn from your experience.

Set your fears aside in a safe, non-judgmental place where you can lay out and sort through your emotions, everyday life situations or past traumas, something you will never have to do alone in my care. As your counselor, I would walk along with you as we evaluate new perspectives and understanding to encourage personal growth and healing in your life.

Counseling is a very personal endeavor, therefore finding the right counselor is a big decision. You'll want someone who can understand what you're going through. Maybe right now you are in a place in your life where you're not sure what the next step is to take. Maybe you have found that your relationships are unsatisfying, you are unhappy in your career, or your kids are stressing you out. I would like to work with you through your challenging situation and help you live a more fulfilling life.

Challenges in life help us cultivate strength and build resiliency. Sometimes these challenges take us in directions that we never thought possible, promoting healing and happiness. It's these challenges that help us grow emotionally, strengthening and enabling us to handle the daily stressors that come our way. I want to personally thankyou for taking the first step to seek counseling as I know it can be hard. My Goal is to honor the space that you're in and walk with you on a journey to optimal wellness focusing on the whole person; Mind Body and Soul!

Sometimes in life there are events that happen that make absolutely no sense. Sometimes those events have a lasting impact on our relationships, parenting, careers, identity and emotional health. As a certified trauma therapist, I believe it is my privilege to work through these emotions with my clients to provide hope and work together toward healing. I am LGBTQ friendly and believe in treating all my clients with respect, dignity, compassion and understanding in a safe and supportive atmosphere. I am now providing virtual therapy to allow clients to continue working toward healing in the midst of the current pandemic.

My desire is to offer you a safe, non-judgmental space to share your story, and to provide empathetic listening in order to gain insight into your relationships and coping patterns, so that you can begin to thrive and not just survive. I believe counseling is a partnership in which we work together in developing and implementing a plan to reach YOUR goals. Each person is unique and different, and I adjust according to each person's needs. I believe that authenticity and empathy are the two most important things for a counselor to possess. In addition, I am always learning new techniques and tools to help my client's grow.

Do you ever feel stuck repeating the same old behaviors you swore you wouldn't ever do again? Or feel stuck playing a role you which not to identify with? If feeling stuck knowing what you want but not being able to achieve resonates with you, I may be a good fit for your needs. Life experiences teach us coping skills, both healthy and unhealthy. My passion is assisting clients rediscover their inner strength and process the unhealthy events in their past. This process is for those who want more out of life than they are currently receiving.

Trusting someone with your innermost world is certainly not easy. As your therapist, I will walk with you through your pain. I will help you develop insight and coping skills that make sense to you. It is my aim to empower you to realize that you are worthy. You are not broken, although it may feel that way. (We all lose our way from time to time.) Let's work together to process your emotions in order to find the positive and lasting change you need to live a more authentic and fulfilling life.

In my ten years as a counselor, it's been my privilege to care for men, teens, and couples wrestling with depression, stress, and anxiety; addiction (drugs and alcohol; gambling; sexual...); the grief involved with divorce; the struggles associated with life's transitions; difficulties in school and relationships; and family conflict. My hope is that the men and women I talk to would be able to experience intimacy in their relationships, fullness of life, and find success in their daily lives.
