Spirituality Therapists in Clay County, MO

I believe that each person is the expert on his/her life, and that we all have what we need to do what we need to do. I help people identify the resources they have, and how to focus those strengths on the problem/issue they are dealing with. I see any problem as a valuable source of information which we can use to guide us in the direction we want to go. I believe that relationships, spirituality, and physical health are three of the most important sources of strength/energy that we can tap into for strength.

People want to feel good about themselves and have a sense of self-worth, self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-love, When those don't exist it's mentally, emotionally, and psychologically painful and can result in various types of mental health struggles. People try their best to manage with the tools and skillsets they have. What may have helped and been needed at one point in their life may not be working now. That is not a flaw in the person, it is a lack of the necessary tools/skillsets. Recognizing this a person can stop blaming or judging themselves or others.

You wonder how things got this way, you used to feel connected with your partner. You feel alone, confused, frustrated, misunderstood, rejected etc. You reach out, you are trying…it turns to an argument or distancing. It often seems like a blame game with defensive reactions. How do you turn this around and feel safe with your partner again, or other loved ones? You are concerned about the outcome, yet it’s not getting better. Something needs to change but you’re unsure how to approach things.

I help women 35 + find more capacity for ease, joy and healthy relationships. You might feel out of synch if you are carrying unhealed trauma. I've learned how to support healing gently, through grounded science, and grounded spirituality if you choose to bring this along. Working with your nervous system is where we begin.

Therapy is a process that is often sought out during times of change, stress or transition. It can take courage to reach out to others. Thus, I feel it important to have a level of trust and comfort with your therapist. I greatly enjoy providing direction and insight to the clients I serve. I view my role as one that facilitates further introspection and growth. Every life event, those that are joyful, painful, or somewhere in between, can serve to shape us as an individual as we make choices for how we are going to respond.

I believe humans are resilient. If you are reading this today, that means you too. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are experiencing difficult life transitions in their faith, careers, and relationships (familial, marital, parenting, or the challenges of trying to become a parent). It can be painful to feel stuck, unsure, or out of place in many of the relationships and environments you find yourself. In my office, all parts of your identity are welcome without shame or judgement. There is no such thing as a taboo topic, but it is important to me that you take things at your own pace.

There is a place of peace within you, a doorway and passage to a new and different life.

I provide individual, couples' and family counseling, and help others live up to their potential by discovering a sense of purpose and wellness wherever they are in life.

The people I see often feel worried, confused, sad, angry, or struggle with similar feelings. Many have lost a loved one or are in a troubled relationship. Others struggle with depression, anxiety, addiction, or abusive relationships. Still others seek meaning and purpose. Regardless of the problem or mix of problems, the goal is to have a richer, more satisfying life. As well as listening with care, my style is to talk openly, sharing my thoughts and feelings about you and your situation. I bring a lifetime of success and failure, joys and sorrows, to my work.

If you desire an open and supportive relationship with people in your life...If sadness, anger, fear, or guilt make it hard for you to connect with others comfortably, please contact me. Whether we work on a one-to-one basis or with your significant other and family members, I can help identify and heal wounds that prevent you and your loved ones from thinking, feeling, and behaving in healthy ways. Together we can build more honest and effective patterns of relating to one another.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or constantly overthinking? Are you someone who tends to get lost in work, caregiving, or the fast pace rate of life that you forget to focus on yourself? Does taking time for yourself feel like a foreign activity? Do you desire to find your sense of purpose again? To learn to slow down and exist in the here and now for a while. Perhaps you are ready to process the loss of a loved one, to find peace with grief or unexpected news. Perhaps seek support in your own end of life journey, to explore the process of death and dying and the thoughts and emotions that may come.

Im motivated to work with clients that want to improve an aspect of their life, to change a behavior, to adjust their way of thinking or to just talk about stressful or confusing things in their life. V
